The global positioning system (GPS) is a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) uses a constellation of between 24 and 32 Medium Earth Orbit satellites that transmit precise microwave signals, which enable GPS receivers to determine their current location, the time, and their velocity [1]. Initially, the GPS was developed for military applications, but very quickly became the most used technology in positioning even for end-user applications run by individuals with no technical skills. GPS reading are used also as reference points for many positioning techniques such as the techniques that depend on the transmitted electromagnetic signal to determine the position of the transmitter or the receiver, due to their superior accuracy comparing to such techniques. But how accurate are those readings, and how to obtain accurate reference points starting from raw GPS observations even when they are corrupted with errors. In this paper, a practical study about GPS positioning is provided. Generating the ground-truth reference points depending on GPS observations is also provided and discussed in details.

Improved Target Tracking with Road Network Information Orguner, Umut; Gustafsson, Fredrik (2009-03-14) In this paper we consider the problem of tracking targets, which can move both on-road and off-road, with particle filters utilizing the road-network information. It is argued that the constraints like speed-limits and/or one-way roads generally incorporated into on-road motion models make it necessary to consider additional high-bandwidth off-road motion models. This is true even if the targets under consideration are only allowed to move on-road due to the possibility of imperfect road-map information and...
Estimation of Deterministic and Stochastic IMU Error Parameters Unsal, Derya; Demirbaş, Kerim (2012-04-26) Inertial Measurement Units, the main component of a navigation system, are used in several systems today. IMU's main components, gyroscopes and accelerometers, can be produced at a lower cost and higher quantity. Together with the decrease in the production cost of sensors it is observed that the performances of these sensors are getting worse. In order to improve the performance of an IMU, the error compensation algorithms came into question and several algorithms have been designed. Inertial sensors conta...
Enhancing positioning accuracy of GPS/INS system during GPS outages utilizing artificial neural network Kaygisiz, Burak H.; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Erkmen, İsmet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-06-01) Integrated global positioning system and inertial navigation system (GPS/INS) have been extensively employed for navigation purposes. However, low-grade GPS/INS systems generate erroneous navigation solutions in the absence of GPS signals and drift very fast. We propose in this paper a novel method to integrate a low-grade GPS/INS with an artificial neural network (ANN) structure. Our method is based on updating the INS in a Kalman filter structure using ANN during GPS outages. This study focuses on the des...
Efficient Tracking of Multiple Objects in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks Oztarak, Hakan; Akkaya, Kemal; Yazıcı, Adnan (2013-01-01) Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) are characterized by large number of resource constrained camera sensors. In remote surveillance applications, such resource constraints necessitate the design of lightweight solutions for traditional problems such as object localization and real-time tracking. In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient object localization and multiple object tracking scheme for WMSNs. The object localization is performed by individual camera sensors. For that purpose, the appr...
Performance Comparison of Target Tracking Algortihms in Underwater Environment Ege, Emre; Saranlı, Afşar (2008-04-22) Target tracking is one the most fundamental elements of a radar system. The aim of target tracking is the reliable estimation of a target's true state based on a time history of noisy sensor observations. In real life, the sensor data may include substantial noise. This noise can render the raw sensor data unsuitable to be used directly. Instead, we must filter the noise, preferably in an optimal manner. For land, air and surface marine vehicles, very successful filtering methods are developed. However, bec...
