The Novel Method of North-finding Based on the Skylight Polarization

A novel technology of north-finding is introduced. Taking the relatively stable distribution of the skylight polarization as the information source, the angle between the carrier’s long axis and the solar meridian is obtained by using the polarization-sensitive compass designed firstly. And then t...
