  • Page 19: Tracking Information Quality

    Tracking Information Quality Getting Started Once tracking is under way the Data Quality Bar indicates the level of confidence the system has in the quality of the scene data that is being acquired. The greater the size of the filled portion of the Data Quality Bar, the greater the level of confidence in the information. The colour of the Data Quality Bar and positional data also reflects the level of confidence: RED, YELLOW or GREEN, with GREEN meaning highest confidence.
