IGPS – A NEW SYSTEM FOR STATIC AND KINEMATIC MEASUREMENTS

The research project Usofi is dedicated to the analysis of a new technology for surveying in industrial environments called iGPS (Metris, Belgium). The iGPS system is based on internal time measurements, related to spatial rays that intersect at the position of the sensor. iGPS is also employed for spatiotemporal position determination of moving objects. This new technology provides its own characteristic that depends on each application and can only be considered if knowledge about the systems measurements principle is at hand. First results of the research project are presented.
