Estimating the Relative Rotation of Two Tectonic Plates from Boundary Crossings
根据边界穿越点估计两个构造板块的相对旋转
Let η1, …, ηs be unknown vectors on the sphere and Ao be an unknown rotation. Suppose that uij are estimates of points lying on the great circle normal to ηi and υik are estimates of points lying on the great circle normal to Aoηi . This article discusses a method to construct a confidence region for Ao . This problem arises in the reconstruction of the relative motion of two tectonic plates on opposing sides of a rift. The boundary on each side is represented by a…
