Differential GPS for remote sensing : a study on realization of accurate aircraft navigation and improvement of geometrical correction procedures for CAESAR-images

Shows the results of a measurement program that did involve two goals. 1. Realisation of sufficiently accurate aircraft navigation using satellite positioning (GPS) data. To be more precise, establishing navigation accuracy along straight and curved trajectories using differential GPS (DGPS) as main data source. 2. Incorporation of DGPS positioning in geometrical correction procedures of aircraft remote sensing data in order to reduce the required number of ground control points. The data processing and the equipment that was used for that performance are described.
