Course

ENV-340: Fundamentals of satellite positioning

Summary

Bases des références géodésiques, principe de mesure utilisé en localisation par satellites et de l'estimation de la qualité de positions GNSS (Global Navigation Satellites Systems).

Lectures

Instructor

Pierre-Yves Gilliéron

He graduated in Surveying Engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne in 1988. He started his professional career in photogrammetry and digital mapping. He joined the Geodetic Eng. Laboratory in 1997 where he worked as research scientist on various navigation and satellite positioning projects. Since 2018 he is deputy head of the section in environmental sciences and engineering at EPFL. -- He was member of the board of the swiss institute of navigation (ION-CH), member of the swiss geodetic committee (SGK) and expert in different committees of the swiss road association (VSS).
