Global Positioning System (GPS) Bias Correction and
Seasonal variation in habitat selection by the mountain goat Oreamnos americanus is not well understood due to the difficulties of monitoring animal movement in all months of the year. The use of global positioning system (GPS) wildlife telemetry collars offers an opportunity to overcome this obstacle, however satellite acquisition problems associated with GPS wildlife telemetry collars create ...
متن کاملMeasurement of the Mechanical Power of Walking by Global Satellite Positioning System (gps)
Introduction Human beings spend a substantial amount of time in walking activities. Human locomotion has been therefore extensively studied under laboratory conditions in terms of energetics or biomechanics. However, one drawback is inherent to laboratory experiments: because of the limited experimental perimeter, it is not possible to record a substantial number of consecutive steps. In contra...
متن کاملAn Improved Satellite Selection Method in Attitude Determination Using Global Positioning System (GPS)
In attitude determination using GPS, the accuracy of results is influenced directly by the satellite selection of the differenced observations. Based on the information of satellites, such as elevation, azimuth and signal to noise ratio, we apply a weighted selection method to obtain the satellite combination used in attitude determination. This method also considered the quality of satellite s...
متن کاملGlobal Positioning System: The Mathematics of GPS Receivers
We will see that receivers use very simple mathematics, but that they use it in highly ingenious ways. Being able to locate our position on the surface of the earth has always been important for commercial, scientific, and military reasons. The development of navigational methods has provided many mathematical challenges, which have been met and overcome by some of the best mathematicians of al...
