What is GNSS Spoofing? - GIM International
WEBMar 8, 2021 · Both jamming and spoofing are a type of GNSS radio interference that happens when weak GNSS signals are overpowered by stronger radio signals on the same frequency. Jamming is a kind of ‘white noise’ interference, causing loss of accuracy and potentially loss of positioning. This type of interference can come from adjacent electronic ...
Understanding Spatial Resolution - GIM International
WEBOct 29, 2020 · The IFOV characterizes the sensor, irrespective of the altitude of the platform. The field of view (FOV) is the total view angle that defines the swath. So, the spatial resolution of 20m for SPOT HRV means that each CCD element collects radiance from a ground area of 20mx20m. Figure 1: An airport …
Total Stations: the Surveyor’s Workhorse | GIM International
WEBOct 24, 2016 · A total station is an angle measuring device, also known as a theodolite, integrated with an electronic distance measurement (EDM) unit. The integration provides the ability to measure horizontal and vertical angles as well as slope distances using the same device at the same time, which benefits the surveyor in terms of portability ...
