Introduction :

 

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is widely used in almost all systems that require absolute position and time. It is due to its accuracy, availability and reliability. In addition to GPS of the United States, several other systems such as GLObal Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) of the Russian Federation, the European global navigation system (Galileo) of the European Union, the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) of China, the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (NavIC), India and the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS), Japan are now available. Collectively, they are called GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System). Today, a GNSS receiver can provide centimeter level accuracy even with a low-cost receiver, if an error correction technique is used. Thus, availability of low-cost and high-accuracy receivers will eventually increase GNSS related applications and its market. In order to keep the pace with these new applications and technological developments, it is necessary to develop human resources and skills.

 

Geoinformatics Center of Asian Institute of Technology (GIC/AIT) together with the Center for Spatial Information Science of The University of Tokyo (CSIS/UT) and International Committee on GNSS (ICG) are taking initiatives to create awareness on GNSS and its applications in Asia and the Pacific region. This program is a part of this initiative.

 

 

Course Schedule: 14 – 18 JAN 2019

 

 

Training Place:

Geoinformatics Center, Asian Institute of Technology, Pathumthani, Thailand

 

 

Objectives:

 

This course is designed to give the participants:

  • An introduction to GNSS, comprised of GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BDS, QZSS and NavIC
  • General overview of signal processing in receiver, receiver performances (low-cost receiver vs. high-end survey-grade receiver).
  • Introduction to RTKLIB and related software for High-Accuracy GNSS Data Processing (RASPI, RTKDROID, SW MAPS etc)
  • Field Survey using Low-Cost receiver for High-Accuracy positioning
  • GNSS Data Processing for real-time and Post-processing RTK and PPP
  • GNSS Raw Data Processing logged by Android Device

     

Course Contents:

Participants

 

This course is designed to those who would like to learn about GNSS from the basics. We recommend to attend this course if your work is related with one of the following fields – Surveying, Mapping, GIS, Remote Sensing, Telecommunications, Safety and Security services, Geodesy, Transport, Logistics, Agriculture, Marine, Fishery, Aviation, Census Data Analyst, Health Data Analyst, Location Based Services (LBS) or APP developers.

 

 

Benefits

 

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to understand about how a GNSS receiver works, its applications, survey methods and data processing for high-accuracy in real-time or post-processing modes.

 

 

Training Costs:

 

The training fee is free for all participants.

The participants have to bear the following costs:

1.Travel costs from the participant’s home-town to AIT, Thailand and back to home-town.
