  2. Satellite geodesy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_geodesy

    In optical triangulation, the satellite can be used as a very high target for triangulation and can be used to ascertain the geometric relationship between multiple observing stations. Optical triangulation with the BC-4, PC-1000, MOTS, or Baker Nunn cameras consisted of photographic observations of a satellite, or flashing light on the ...

  3. Geodetic control network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodetic_control_network

    Classically, a control is divided into horizontal (X-Y) and vertical (Z) controls (components of the control), however with the advent of satellite navigation systems, GPS in particular, this division is becoming obsolete. In the U.S., there is a national control network called the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS). [2]

  4. Trilateration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilateration

    Trilateration in three-dimensional geometry Intersection point of three pseudo-ranges. Trilateration is the use of distances (or "ranges") for determining the unknown position coordinates of a point of interest, often around Earth (geopositioning). [1] When more than three distances are involved, it may be called multilateration, for emphasis.

    However, additional advances in technology and new demands on the existing system led to the effort to "modernize" the GPS system. Announcements from the Vice President and the White House in 1998 heralded the beginning of these changes, and in 2000, the U.S. Congress reaffirmed the effort, referred to as GPS III.

    This is a list of notable commercial satellite navigation software (also known as GPS software) for various devices, with a specific focus on mobile phones, tablets, tablet PCs, (Android, iOS, Windows).

  7. True-range multilateration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True-range_multilateration

    There is no accepted or widely-used general term for what is termed true-range multilateration here . That name is selected because it: (a) is an accurate description and partially familiar terminology (multilateration is often used in this context); (b) avoids specifying the number of ranges involved (as does, e.g., range-range; (c) avoids implying an application (as do, e.g., DME/DME ...

  8. Triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation

    Computer stereo vision and optical 3D measuring systems use this principle to determine the spatial dimensions and the geometry of an item. [2] Basically, the configuration consists of two sensors observing the item. One of the sensors is typically a digital camera device, and the other one can also be a camera or a light projector.

  9. Mobile phone tracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_tracking

    An indoor location tracking map on a mobile phone. Mobile phone tracking is a process for identifying the location of a mobile phone, whether stationary or moving. . Localization may be affected by a number of technologies, such as the multilateration of radio signals between (several) cell towers of the network and the phone or by simply
