Document:
Position and attitude determination of moving platforms or subjects is the main-stream of the lab research activity. The laboratory expertise in algorithm development for real-time or post-mission positioning have been applied to precise trajectory determination of land or airborne vehicles and pedestrians. We make use of satellite based (GPS, Glonass, Galileo) positioning, inertial sensors, magnetic sensors, imagery and networked based positioning via Ultra-wide band or 802.x technology.
