Title: T h e role of orbit errors in processing of satellite altimeter da t a The problem of radial orbit errors in processing of satellite altimeter data is largely due to the inaccuracy of the gravity model which is required for the computation of the trajectory of the spacecraft. A commonly used technique for removing these errors consists of minimizing the crossover differences of profiles ...

Interval methods are very convenient to describe the uncertainty of measurements and derived parameters in engineering sciences. In this paper, the geodetic determination of points in the 2d or 3d Euclidean space by least-squares estimation is studied. Up to now, two problems limited the applicability of interval mathematics. First, due to overestimation, interval boxes are too pessimistic unce...

The ability to simultaneously localize a robot and build a map of the environment is central to most robotic applications and the problem is often referred to as SLAM. Robotics researchers have proposed a large variety of solutions allowing robots to build maps and use them for navigation. Also the geodetic community addressed large-scale map building for centuries, computing maps which span ac...

Late Quaternary slip rates and satellite-based geodetic data for the western Great Basin constrain regional fault-slip distribution and evolution. The geologic slip rate on the Fish Lake Valley fault zone (the northwest extension of the Furnace Creek fault zone) increases northward from about 3 to 5 mm/yr, in agreement with modeled geodetic data. The increase coincides with the intersections of...

The geodetic monitoring of local displacements and deformations is often needed for civil engineering structures and natural phenomena like, for example, landslides. A local permanent GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) network can be installed: receiver positions in the interest area are estimated and monitored with respect to reference stations. Usually, GNSS geodetic receivers are ado...
