Notes on volumetric localization 2010-08-07 mM1 The measured bottom elevation (9306) exceeds the top (9291), which is impossible. The bottom elevation of the first q-lot has a top measurement of 9291 and a bottom elevation of 9273. Therefore I conclude that the measured top elevation is correct, while the bottom one is in error and should be about 9273. [Input: U807MM1.j]
