Geomagnetic Observations and Measurements in Israel
Dr Anna Shnaidman , Dr Boris Shirman and Yosef Melzer
This paper presents a brief overview of the various activities of the Survey of Israel in the geomagnetic sphere, including ongoing and future projects, such as prediction of magnetic declination based on absolute declination annual measurements and formulation of an interactive comprehensive declination model...

POSITIONING
Effect of ground control points in distribution and location on geometric correction of corona satellite image
Sao Hone Pha and Wataru Takeuchi
Based on experimental result, geometric correction accuracy of distorted image depends not only on the location of GCPs where they are placed at easily identifi able places (building corner, road intersection, etc.), but also on their distribution (evenly spread across the image)...
