The georeference of any photogrammetric product is based on the reconstruction of the geometric relations of imaging in a chosen object coordinate system. For the handling of aerial photos traditionally the bundle of rays from the image points over the projection center to the ground points is modelled by means of the camera calibration information and the exterior orientation determined by mea...

One of the most important tasks in integration of GPS/INS is to choose the realistic dynamic model covariance matrix Q and measurement noise covariance matrix R for use in the Kalman filter technique. The performance of the methods to estimate both of these matrices depends entirely on the minimization of dynamic and measurement update errors that lead the filter to converge. This paper evaluat...

The wide application of GPS carrier-phase (CP) time transfer is limited by the problem of boundary discontinuity (BD). The discontinuity has two categories. One is “day boundary discontinuity,” which has been studied extensively and can be solved by a few methods [1–5]. The other category of discontinuity, called “anomaly boundary discontinuity (anomaly-BD),” comes from a GPS-measurements data ...

Kinematics GPS and inertia movement instrumentation technology has developed rapidly, which achieved to provide a high and stable accuracy of spatial positioning, attitude in three dimensions for high-speed movement platform such as aircraft. The airborne laser measurement system which is based on the laser scanning technology, has been integrated to the GPS inertia movement instrument on the a...

Satellite navigation systems such as the global positioning system (GPS) are currently the most common technique used for land vehicle positioning. However, in GPS-denied environments, there is an interruption in the positioning information. Low-cost micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS)-based inertial sensors can be integrated with GPS and enhance the performance in denied GPS environments. T...

GPS is a CDMA system using DSSS, and the length of the C/A cod used by GPS L1 band civil signal is 1023chips. As the Cross-Correlation peak between the C/A codes is not zero, it will degrade the performance of the detection probability. Detection of weak signal is becoming important in many applications like GPS remote sensing etc. Cross-Correlation caused by GPS Gold codes are representing sig...

A displacement measurement system fusing a low cost real-time kinematic global positioning system (RTK-GPS) receiver and a force feedback accelerometer is proposed for infrastructure monitoring. The proposed system is composed of a sensor module, a base module and a computation module. The sensor module consists of a RTK-GPS rover and a force feedback accelerometer, and is installed on a target...
