Detecting Apples in the Wild: Potential for Harvest Quantity Estimation
PublicationKnowing the exact number of fruits and trees helps farmers to make better decisions in their orchard production management. The current practice of crop estimation practice often involves manual counting of fruits (before harvesting), which is an extremely time-consuming and costly process. Additionally, this is not practicable for large orchards. Thanks to the changes that have taken place in recent years in the field of image...

Analysis of the Dynamic Height Distribution at the Estuary of the Odra River Based on Gravimetric Measurements Acquired with the Use of a Light Survey Boat—A Case Study
PublicationLaCoste) for determining the dynamic height along the Odra River, in northwest Poland. The gravity measurement campaign described in this article was conducted on a small, hybrid-powered survey vessel (overall length: 9.5 m). We discuss a method for processing the results of gravimetric measurements performed on a mobile platform affected by strong external disturbances. Because measurement noise in most cases consists of signals...

Modeling and Accuracy Assessment of Determining the Coastline Course Using Geodetic, Photogrammetric and Satellite Measurement Methods: Case Study in Gdynia Beach in Poland
PublicationThe coastal environment represents a resource from both a natural and economic point of view, but it is subject to continuous transformations due to climate change, human activities, and natural risks. Remote sensing techniques have enormous potential in monitoring coastal areas. However, one of the main tasks is accurately identifying the boundary between waterbodies such as oceans, seas, lakes or rivers, and the land surface....

Improved Empirical Coefficients for Estimating Water Vapor Weighted Mean Temperature over Europe for GNSS Applications
PublicationDevelopment of the so-called global navigation satellite system (GNSS) meteorology is based on the possibility of determining a precipitable water vapor (PWV) from a GNSS zenith wet delay (ZWD). Conversion of ZWD to the PWV requires application of water vapor weighted mean temperature (Tm) measurements, which can be done using a surface temperature (Ts) and its linear dependency to the Tm. In this study we analyzed up to 24 years...

Degradation of Kinematic PPP of GNSS Stations in Central Europe Caused by Medium-Scale Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances During the St. Patrick’s Day 2015 Geomagnetic Storm
PublicationIn solar cycle 24, the strongest geomagnetic storm took place on March 17, 2015, when the geomagnetic activity index was as high as -223 nT. To verify the impact that the storm had on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)’s positioning accuracy and precision, we used 30-s observations from 15 reference stations located in Central Europe. For each of them, we applied kinematic precise point positioning (PPP) using gLAB software...

Interannual Variability of the GNSS Precipitable Water Vapor in the Global Tropics
PublicationThis paper addresses the subject of inter-annual variability of the tropical precipitable water vapor (PWV) derived from 18 years of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) observations. Non-linear trends of retrieved GNSS PWV were investigated using the singular spectrum analysis (SSA) along with various climate indices. For most of the analyzed stations (~49%) the GNSS PWV anomaly was related to the El Niño Southern Oscillation...

Post processing and selecting data obtain with parametric sub-bottom profiler SES-2000 Standard during sounding the Gulf of Gdansk
PublicationThe main goal of the paper is to describe the results of sounding the Gulf of Gdansk seabed using a parametric sub-bottom profiler SES-2000 Standard. Quality of obtained during trials data depends inter alia on proper location of antenna to reduce influence of pitch, roll, heave and ship noise (bubbles from propeller and a hull flow, vibration from main engine and peripheral devices). Furthermore calibration of complementary units...

Diurnal variability of atmospheric water vapour, precipitation and cloud top temperature across the global tropics derived from satellite observations and GNSS technique
PublicationThe diurnal cycle of convection plays an important role in clouds and water vapour distribution across the global tropics. In this study, we utilize integrated moisture derived from the global navigation satellite system (GNSS), satellite precipitation estimates from TRMM and merged infrared dataset to investigate links between variability in tropospheric moisture, clouds development and precipitation at a diurnal time scale. Over...

Badanie i analiza efektywności pracy naziemnego, samoorganizującego się systemu radiolokalizacyjnego
PublicationJak wiadomo, klasyczne systemy hiperboliczne posiadają strukturę łańcuchową, i pracują w trybie synchronicznym. Taka hierarchiczna struktura tradycyjnych systemów hiperbolicznych, zwłaszcza zaś wymóg zapewnienia synchronicznej pracy łańcucha stacji stanowi istotne utrudnienie jego pracy. Poza tym uszkodzenie stacji głównej skutkuje wyłączeniem z eksploatacji całości łańcucha i tym samym pozbawia dostępu do usługi radiolokalizacyjnej...

Determining the Seasonal Variability of the Territorial Sea Baseline in Poland (2018–2020) Using Integrated USV/GNSS/SBES Measurements
PublicationThe Territorial Sea Baseline (TSB) allows coastal states to define the maritime boundaries, such as: contiguous zone, continental shelf, exclusive economic zone and territorial sea. Their delimitations determine what rights (jurisdiction and sovereignty) a given coastal state is entitled to. For many years, the problem of delimiting baseline was considered in two aspects: legal (lack of clear-cut regulations and different interpretations)...

Zastosowanie mobilnych pomiarów satelitarnych w projektowaniu i eksploatacji dróg szynowych
PublicationW artykule przedstawiono podsumowanie kilkuletnich badań nad zastosowaniem mobilnych pomiarów satelitarnych w projektowaniu i eksploatacji dróg szynowych. Mobilne pomiary satelitarne polegają na objeździe trasy pojazdem szynowym z doczepionymi wagonami-platformami lub wózkami dwuosiowymi, na których zostały zainstalowane odbiorniki GNSS (ang. Global Navigation Satellite System). Opisano przyjętą metodykę badawczą oraz przebieg...

AEGIR - asynchroniczny system lokalizacji naziemnej
PublicationSatelitarne systemy radionawigacyjne GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) są postrzegane przez terrorystów jako cel o wysokiej wartości. Systemy te mogą również stać się celem ataku dla bardziej pospolitych przestępców - hakerówkomputerowych i twórców wirusów. Zatem cały czas istnieje realne zagrożenie związane z zanikiem usługi GPS na danym obszarze bądź wadliwym jej funkcjonowaniem. W związku z tym istnieje potrzeba utrzymania...
