Fedin UDC681.325.5 When designing measuring systems and devices we often have to obtain, in whole numbers, the nearest value of the inclined coordinate Z from the given coordinates X and Y which enter into the well-known second-order Diophant equation Z ~ = X ~ + y2. (1) The use of a computer for this objective is not always possible or advisable because of serious expenditure of the computer time, absence of suitable working conditions, and high requirements imposed on the reliability of the equipment. The method of integer processing, known under the name of "the odd number method" [1, 2], without its addi- tional complication, allows us to solve the problem thus formulated with an error of only one discrete unit of the lowest category. Often such an error is inadmissible, while minimization of the expenditure on equipment limits the scope for its reduction. The method being considered here, without additional expenditure on the equipment and further complica- tion of the solution scheme, allows us to reduce the error up to 0.5, and in the case of need even up to 0.25 of TI - An integer method for processing coordinate information JO - Measurement Techniques DO - 10.1007/BF00817632 DA - 2004-11-29 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/an-integer-method-for-processing-coordinate-information-oueIPJtoYM SP - 208 EP - 211 VL - 19 IS - 2 DP - DeepDyve ER -
