Abstract

A method for correcting a position of an excavation vehicle, the excavation vehicle comprising a cab, a boom, a stick, and a bucket, is provided. The method detects vehicle tilt angle data; calculates tilt-compensated position output for the boom, based on a current boom angle and the detected vehicle tilt angle data; and adjusts the position, based on the tilt-compensated position output.
