    Basis of inertial navigation.

    Main problems: calibration problem, initial alignment, autonomous mechanization equations.

  • 2

    Basis of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).

    Main problems: vehicle’s positioning and velocity determination, GNSS autonomous & differential modes.

  • 3
    Alternative methods for estimating parameters and their applications.
  • 4
    Methods of GNSS data processing for applications in geodetic surveying.
