Comparison of orthometric heights determined by GPS and simple geometric levelling
Prof El Hassane SEMLALI, Prof Moulay Mohamed AJERAME, Hind HAMYA, Fouzia EL MARZOUQY

This article highlights the effect of altitude change and baseline length on the differences in orthometric heights between simple geometric leveling and GPS. We have used several experimental tests on three cases of different topography... [more]

  Selection of Suitable Matching Area in Gravity-Aided Inertial Navigation System
DanMei PENG, Cuijun DONG
This paper utilizes the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to integrate gravity fi eld’s local standard deviation, roughness, slope and correlation coeffi cients into one singular weighing indicator for the matching suitability of gravity fi eld, which can synthesize different information of different gravity field’s characteristic with the original information lost within the allowable range...
