摘要
A positioning sensor receives and stores a predetermined record length of positioning signals while in a fix position located such that the positioning sensor can receive positioning signals. Thereafter, the stored positioning signals are processed to determine the geographic location of the fix position. The fix position may correspond to a location of an object of interest or it may be in a known location relative to the position of the object, in which case once the geographic location of the fix position has been computed, the geographic location of the object can be derived. The positioning sensor includes a Snapshot GPS receiver which may collect and process GPS signals transmitted by GPS satellites using fast convolution operations to compute pseudoranges from the GPS satellites to the fix position. Alternatively, these computations may be performed at a basestation. The computed pseudoranges may then used to determine the geographic location of the fix position. The positioning sensor may be equipped with depth sensing means, such as a pressure sensor, which allows a determination of the depth of submerged object to be made. The positioning sensor may further be equipped with signal detecting means for determining when the positioning sensor is in the fix position.
