Definition of triangulation in English:

triangulation

noun trʌɪaŋɡjʊˈleɪʃnˌtraɪˌæŋɡjəˈleɪʃən
mass noun
  • 1(in surveying) the tracing and measurement of a series or network of triangles in order to determine the distances and relative positions of points spread over an area, especially by measuring the length of one side of each triangle and deducing its angles and the length of the other two sides by observation from this baseline.

    Example sentencesExamples
    • He introduced techniques to measure the earth and distances on it using triangulation.
    • He greatly increased the accuracy of measurements of the Earth, using Snell's method of triangulation.
    • From 1890 to 1893 he worked for the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey and developed triangulation methods of surveying which were less expensive and more accurate than those employed up to that time.
    • The position of the receiver is determined by triangulation, except that in this case, the distance to four GPS satellites is used to determine the receiver's position in three dimensions.
    • It was one of two instruments used to set up the principal triangulation and surveyor's grid for Great Britain-a mapping project to mark a network of fixed points across the country.
    • The GPS transceivers exchange ranging signals among themselves, and then triangulation methods enable relative positioning of the devices.
    • It is of course possible that something could be rigged without the network and without triangulation.
    • A single measurement of a carefully selected baseline of just a few hundred metres enabled him to calculate the distances between all the towns via triangulation.

    • They cannot extend a ruler to a distant galaxy and cannot usually use triangulation like surveyors do because the distances involved are too large.
    • Cellular triangulation, Wi-Fi networks, and ultrawideband offer outdoor and indoor location data as well, sometimes down to the centimeter level.
  • 2Formation of or division into triangles.

    Example sentencesExamples
