New Computational Approaches to Determining the Astronomical Vessel Position Based on the Sumner Line

In this paper two new approaches are developed to calculate the astronomical vessel position (AVP). Basically, determining the AVP is originated from the spherical equal altitude circles (EACs) concept; therefore, based on the Sumner line's idea, which implies the trial-and-error procedure in a...
