TABLE 5.1: Sensor range
Using computer software to plot these results shows the range the sensor can detect.
The following MATLAB code was produced to plot these points as vectors from the
origin in three dimensional space.
x = [0 50 -55 0 0 35 -35 -35 35 45 -45 45 -50 20 -20 20 -25];
y = [200 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180];
z = [0 0 0 65 -50 -35 -35 50 50 30 30 -20 -25 60 60 -40 -40];
loop = 1;
for loop = 1:17;
plot3([0,x(1,loop)], [0,y(1,loop)], [0,z(1,loop)])
hold on;
loop = loop + 1;
end
plot3([0,x(1,1)], [0,y(1,1)], [0,z(1,1)], 'r')
