Working on a little project, and I'm trying to figure out how to accomplish this.
Given a series of X,Y coordinates and a range, but no vector, how can I triangulate a point? I have the following ones, and can have as few or as many datapoints as I require to do this. The following is: X, Y: Range 77, -65: 19 units 67, -65: 9 units 62, -65: 10 units 62, -55: 6 units 57, -55: 11 units 60, -60: 7 units 60, -55: 8 units |
|
Are you saying that X,Y is a position, and that the range is how far away from that position the point you're looking for is?
Edit If that's the case, then it looks like this: Attached File The two yellow points are 58,-65 and 67,-55, but all eight circles don't line up to one point |
|
graphically, you'd draw circles of "range" radius centered on those x,y points and see where the circles intersect.
as a calculation/number sieve problem, you could solve simultaneous equations for any two of your point sets to find the x,y coordinate that satisfied both equations. |
