Determine spatial error of a sighting localization
Description
This function uses the platform height & degrees down to the sighting
from the horizontal plane in order to determine the spatial error of the survey instrument, e.g., a theodolite.
Usage
spatial_error(p, d, t = 0.000555556)
Arguments
p
Platform height in meters.
d
Degrees down from the horizontal plane to the waterline of the sighting.
t
The precision of the survey instrument, e.g., a theodolite, in degrees. The default is the degrees-equivalent of plus-or-minus 2 arc-seconds, which is a fairly common error rating for digital theodolites.
Value
A data.frame with all input values as well as true distance to the sighting and spatial error details (both near-far and left-right).
