 The Height of Precision - GPS World
The accuracy of the differential GPS (DGPS) configuration we used is a function of the baseline separation between the rover station and its reference counterpart.
To determine sensor-pair accuracy and identify the level of background noise, we conducted nearly 40 static and dynamic calibration tests during spring 2002, in an open field sufficiently free from potential sources of multipath error and with limited obstructions to preserve a 15° mask angle.
In this test, the tracking is quite good, even at lower amplitudes of motion, with the RMS error at 8 percent and error in peak values at 9 percent.

 Guiding Techniques for Astrophotography
Since the telescope is moving the entire time that an exposure is in progress, the centre of gravity of the mirror changes constantly and it is inevitable that it will shift during an exposure.
The amount and timing of such shift cannot be predicted - all that can safely be predicted is that the longer the exposure, the more likely it is that the mirror will shift.
During this time, closely observe the X and Y corrections and try to understand what is happening.

The radar is used primarily to detect and track sea-launched (SLBM) and intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).
Phased array antenna aiming, or beam steering, is done rapidly by electronically controlling the timing, or phase, of the incoming and outgoing signals.
This greatly reduces the time necessary to change the beam direction from one point to another, allowing almost simultaneous tracking of multiple targets while maintaining the surveillance responsibility.

This was contrasted to smooth pursuit in a nonpredictable situation where timing of the audio cue, the velocities and directions were balanced but pseudo-randomised.
Comparison of smooth pursuit with the control condition revealed statistical parametric maps in a network of brain areas known to be involved in visuomotor tasks and motion processing including prefrontal, premotor, medial temporal, parietal and cerebellar areas.
These changes in activation over time may be associated with a type of short-term learning of the timing and eye movement trajectory and are reminiscent of findings in other types of motor and sequence learning.

Energy efficiency is highly application-specific and as a result designing a sensor network algorithm is also performed under the constraints of a specific application such as latency and accuracy.
Traditional target tracking disregards the underlying sensor measurement transport mechanism and focuses on the algorithm performance (tracking accuracy) based on parameters such as the number of trackers.
Moreover the timing constraints of target tracking combined with the nature of the underlying network (wireless, multi-hop) which drops or delays measurements introduces run time energy, latency and accuracy tradeoffs.
