High Precision Navigation Integration of Navigational and Geodetic Methods [Paperback]

The book is based on an international workshop on High Precision Navigation. The reader will find a wealth of information on - satellite navigation systems and their geodetic applications, especially using GPS - laser and radar techniques - image processing and image sequence analysis - autonomous vehicle guidance systems - inertial navigation systems - integration of different sensor systems.Proceedings of an International Workshop, Stuttgart and Altensteig, May 1988, organized by the Sonderforschungsbereich 228 (Special Collaborative Programme) of the Deutsche ForschungsgemeinschaftA.
