Precise Positioning and Applications of GNSS

Catalog description

This course (GIS discusses how to reach centimeter-level positioning using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Students learn about physical effects that impact the positioning accuracy and precision. Students get hands-on experience of using GNSS software to perform high-precision positioning. In addition, students learn about the sophisticated applications of GNSS exemplified by real-time kinematic positioning, precise timing, autonomous driving, satellite orbit determination, geodesy, and remote sensing. Students will design a project in the second half of the semester.
