Analysis of the performance of various GNSS positioning concepts dedicated to precision agriculture

02-04-2024

Automated guidance systems for precision agriculture rely on GNSS and correction services to achieve high accuracy and precision during field operations. The study evaluated the performance of selected GNSS positioning services for precision agriculture in a field experiment. Three correction services were used: SF1, SF3 and RTK, which apply different positioning concepts, i.e. WADGNSS, PPP, and RTK, respectively. The tractor was autonomously steered along several defined paths in open-sky areas as well as near heavy tree cover. The vehicles reference route was determined using a robotic total station.

GATHERS SuperEvent: A Successful Step for Collaboration in Geosciences and Remote Sensing

20-03-2024

The recent GATHERS SuperEvent, held in Rome, showcased an exceptional convergence of collaboration and innovation in the field of geoscience and remote sensing. Host was the Sapienza Università di Roma, with support from the Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences (UPWr) - GATHERS project leader, and the partners from Technical University of Delft (TU Delft) and Technical University of Vienna (TU Wien). The event drew together a diverse range of researchers, students, and industry professionals from across Europe. Spanning from February 12th to February 18th, 2024, it served as a dynamic platform for intensive learning and exchange.

Leading researchers and educators shared their expertise in LIDAR, InSAR, and GNSS with participants who engaged in a wide array of activities, from theoretical classes to practical training sessions. The aim of these activities was to enhance their understanding and application of cutting-edge techniques in the field of geoscience and remote sensing.
