Course contents :
|
| The course gives a practical introduction to positioning with GNSS.
Theorical lectures briefly explain the principle of satellite positioning, the different observables, the main error sources and the simplest positioning technique (Single Point Positioning).
Theorical lectures are illustrated by practical sessions on the field where students learn to use GNSS receivers.
During practical work sessions, the principle of least squares (seen in the frame of course "Theory of Errors") is applied to satellite positioning. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Students will be able to make simple GNSS data acquisition and data processing and to assess the precision of the obtained position. |
