摘要： The disclosed method measures a line angle of a mooring line connected to a floating object floating in a body of water, the mooring line being connected between the floating object and an anchoring body disposed in a bed of the body of water, in which the floating object is coupled to the mooring line by a line connector. The method includes: defining at least three data points each associated with a respective location on the mooring line; on the data points obtaining a value associated with the location on the mooring line; determining parameters of an equation describing an anchor line curve from the values associated with the location on the mooring line for the data points; calculating at a predetermined position on the mooring line a line angle of the mooring line from a derivative of the equation at the predetermined position based on the parameters.
