Abstract
An orienting method is proposed for bionic navigation with the polarized light patterns. Combining theoretical analysis with experiment, authors build a kind of theoretic and experimental models. Then the sun's relative position and a navigation reference line (solar meridian) are derived details for navigation system to provide orientation information. Finally, based on the horizon coordinate system, an example is given for the whole calculate process of direction angle.
