Hi ,
I have a task which I though would be a good learning excercise for me, however
it turns out that I need to go back to elementary school and pay more attention!
I though I would ask the forum incase anyone has done anything similar. It is
only marginally related to postgis but if anyone knows of a better forum please
let me know.
The Problem:
I have a postgis database populated with points which represent locations of
wind turbines. I need to regularly update the database when new turbines are
built or old ones are replaced or removed.
Usually I recieve coordinates or a shapefile, but this time I have only
recieved a photograph taken at eye-level which show 5 existing wind turbines(
for which I have points) and the foundation of the new windturbine presently
being built.
Using the existing wind turbines as reference points, and knowing their heights
is the only information I have to determine the location of the new wind
turbine. Using trignometry and triangulation techniques is it possible to
determine the location of the new wind turbine?
I´m sure there is software to do this, but I thought asking here might bring me
closer to an answer quicker.
thanks for any help,
Rob
