Such situations also occur in navigation, where we have to combine data from diverse navigational devices with archival data, including images. This article discusses a problem of the fusion of position data from shipboard devices with those retrieved from a hydrographic data base, the data being of varying accuracy. These considerations are illustrated with examples of the fusion of shipboard measurements with the pier line (or another cartographic object). %@ 2083-6473 %R 10.12716/1001.07.03.09
