GNSS

Multi-Constellation GNSS based on next generation RAIM
Mikael Mabilleau, Jonathan Vuillaume, Gerhard Berz, Pr Igor Nikiforov, Okko F Bleeker
This paper proposes different operational scenarios that allow to better characterisation of ARAIM performance to meet RNP0.1 requirements as well as current ADS-B mandates. The promising results are used to initiate practical implementation analysis and trade off discussion about the ARAIM architecture for H-ARAIM development in a civil aviation receiver... [more]

UAV

Innovations in boundary mapping
Mukendwa Mumbone,Rohan Bennet, Markus Gerke, Walter Volkmann
One of the objectives of the study was to develop a method for mapping customary land parcels using a UAV. A method was developed and tested in Namibia ... [more]

Oya Erenoglu, R Cuneyt Erenoglu And Ozgun Akcay
In this study, a low-cost UAV-based remote sensing approach reveals high-resolution digital surface models has been utilized for surface characterization... [more]

CADASTRE

Enabling Technology for Citizen and Community Tenure Rights Protection
Neil Pullar, Andrew McDowell And MariaPaola Rizzo
This paper outlines the progress of the FAO SOLA open source software over the past four years and how it has evolved from a system supporting registration and cadastral functions in a typical land office as a result of its implementation in 6 countries (including 7 states in Nigeria)... [more]
