  • Sources of Errors When Positioning with GPS Standard Positioning Service (SPS ): Civilian Users SourceAmount of Error Satellite clocks:0.5 to 1 meter Orbital errors (ephemeris):< 1 meter Ionosphere:5.0 to 10.0 meters Troposphere:0.5 to 1 meter Receiver noise:0.3 to 1.5 meters Multipath:0.6 to 1.0 meters Selective Availability (SA)Does not exist any more User error:Up to a kilometer or more Errors are cumulative and increased by DOP. Note that the numbers are not current (absolute). However, you can get a feel for which errors are more significant than the other (relative).

  • The satellites broadcast two types of data, Almanac and Ephemeris. Almanac data is coarse orbital parameters for all SVs. Each SV broadcasts Almanac data for ALL SVs (Satellite Vehicles). This Almanac data is not very precise and is considered valid for up to several months. Ephemeris data by comparison is very precise orbital and clock correction for each SV and is necessary for precise positioning. EACH SV broadcasts ONLY its own Ephemeris data. This data is only considered valid for about 30 minutes. The Ephemeris data is broadcast by each SV every 30 seconds. When the GPS is initially turned on after being off for more than 30 minutes, it "looks" for SVs based on where it is based on the almanac and current time. With this information, appropriate SVs can be selected for initial search. When the GPS receiver initially locks onto a SV, the Garmin display then shows "hollow" signal strength bars. At this time, the Ephemeris data has yet to be completely collected. Once the ephemeris data is collected from EACH SV in turn, the associated signal strength bar will turn "solid" black and then the data from that SV is considered valid for navigation. If power is cycled on a GPS unit, and when turned back on, the Ephemeris data is less than 30 minutes old, lock-on will be very quick since the GPS does not have to collect new Ephemeris data.

  • Transformation types: Affine The affine transformation function is: x = Ax + By + C y = Dx + Ey + F where x and y are coordinates of the input layer and x and y are the transformed coordinates. The C and F parameters control shift in origin (translation) A, B, D, E control scale and rotation their values are determined by comparing the location of source and destination control points. Scales, skews, rotates, and translates 6 unknowns( A,B,C,D,E,F) so a minimum of three displacement links required Little benefit from more than 18-30 links The most common choice

  • REVIEW: Trade-off between Spatial and Spectral Resolution In order to maintain a reasonable level of energy (or signal) reaching the camera (or imaging system), the relation between the pixel size (or pixel area) and spectral bandpass (channel width) must be considered: Pixel area Spectral bandpass Energy

  • Example: Transformation Lets do a simple example We would like to calculate new coordinates for point A(x=1, y=1), i.e., we want to convert coordinate system (x,y) to (x,y). We assume a 1 st order (affine) transformation works fine All the six coefficients (for affine transformation) are given (a0=1, a1=1.1, a2=0.4 and b0=0.2,b1=1.8,b2=0.8) x and y are the new coordinates for (x,y) in the new coordinate system Continue on next Slide >>>>
