Suppose we have a triangle strip like in this image (but ignore E and F for the moment, should hopefully not make a difference to add more point later)
and we have measured all the distances between every point pair out of A, B, C and D. The measurement will not be 100% accurate.
given: approximate distances $AB$, $AC$, $AD$, $BC$, $BD$, $CD$,
How can we compute the point coordinates of A, B, C and D so that the error (e.g. euclidean metric or anything that is appropriate for common sense) between measured distances and found point position distances is minimized?
I think we can choose and fix A arbitrarily to be [0,0,0].
What about the other points? Which kind of optimization technique is usable here?
