A Test of Kinematic GPS Combined With Aerial Photography: Organization, Logistics and Results

Richard Moreau, Michel Perron

Abstract:	Designed and financed by Secteur Terres, Ministere de L'Energie et des Ressources du Quebec, an airborne test of kinematic GPS was conducted in November 1987. The project per­mitted in-flight positioning of the camera perspective center at the exposure points of over 100 aerial photographs. The GPS methodology used is described in another paper in this conference (Keel et al) . The present paper describes the organization and logistics of the test, and presents the detailed analysis of the GPS positions compared with photogramme­trically-derived and geodetic coordinates. The analysis shows that kinematic GPS is a viable and economic means for eliminating ground control for 1:20 000 mapping.
