USE OF THE TR5-S-B GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) RECEIVER IN AIRBORNE PHOTOGRAPHY SURVEYS

The use of Global Positioning System (GPS) signals to improve aerial photography from low dynamics aircraft was assessed in flight tests. Using pseudo range and accumulated phase measurements from these satellites with well calibrated GPS receivers also allows users to reach very low-noise speed and acceleration observations in three dimensions, at a few mm/sec level. The further combination of this technique with phase interferometry onboard a moving platform may also lead to the capability of accurate attitude measurements, to improve performances in photography surveys, airborne photogrammetry, airborne and shipborne gravimetry, and magnetometry.
