peer agreement (net): +2the choice of daymark Explanation: Amer is from the Old Norman (not a bloke) and refers to a known reference point. "Amer. n.m. Objet fixe et visible servant de point de repère sur une côte, par exemple un phare, un feu, une balise, un clocher d'église, un château d'eau ou un rocher de forme remarquable." http://permanent.cyconflans.free.fr/glossaire/gloss_start.ht... "A daymark is a structure placed on a coastline or inland waterway to aid navigation, usually during the daytime." https://themarineking.com/blogs/news/daymark "Daymarks are signs attached to posts or pilings in the water. They are usually red triangles (equivalent to nuns) or green squares (equivalent to cans)." https://www.boat-ed.com/paddlesports/paddlesports/studyGuide... Or maybe simply 'reference point'. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2023-06-06 21:48:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Fine tuning I see Wikipedia says that "Le terme amer est également utilisé en robotique mobile pour désigner les points de repère utilisés par un robot pour se repérer dans son environnement et calculer sa trajectoire. I don't know (yet) the English equivalent in robotics, but if Asker's question is more about robots than about the sea, this might be worth looking into. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2023-06-06 21:53:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It looks as if 'landmark' might be the word used in robotics etc. "Computer vision is an ever more important means for the navigation of UAVs. Here we propose a landmark recognition system looking for salient man-made infrastructure." https://link.springer.com/article/10.1134/S1054661812010270 "Localization Method Using Camera and LiDAR and its Application to Autonomous Mowing in Orchards [ …] this approach is difficult to apply in environments that contain obstacles and from where one cannot reliably capture the positions of satellites, such as fruit orchards in semi-mountainous areas. Landmark-based self-localization may present a viable approach, although objects usable as landmarks vary depending on individual orchards, and there may be areas in which such objects do not exist, which would make it necessary to set up standardized landmarks to achieve stable autonomous navigation." https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jrobomech/34/4/34_877/_... |
