High Resolution Topography database generation using Airborne LiDAR
V Raghu Venkataraman And PVSSN Gopala Krishna
National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), ISRO, Hyderabad, India has generated High resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for various river beds of the country (66,000 sq. km) with an accuracy of 25 cm in height with 2D GIS database generation compatible to 1:5000 scale. DEM generation for 25,000 sq. km area of Brahmaputra river basin is an achievement...

An IGS-based simulator of ionospheric conditions for GNSS positioning quality assessment
Mia Flic´, Renato Filjar And Jingnong Weng
The utilisation of the IGS-based GNSS simulators mitigates the effects of modelling errors that inevitably appear when the GNSS signal is artificially modelled, without any investment apart from a standard computing and internet access equipment...

Improving of the EGNOS system in Algeria for dual frequency
Lahouaria TABTI, Salem KAHLOUCHE And Belkacem BENADDA
The objective of this present work is to analyze the coverage of the EGNOS system for the civil aviation applications in Algeria. The main searched results concern the comparison between the availability of the system when using the single frequency (L1) in simple mode, and the double frequency (L1/L5)...
