Introduction to GNSS Remote Sensing;
Reflectometry and Radio Occultation
Recent developments and the current
state of the art in Earth remote sensing
using reflected (GNSS-R) and occulted
(GNSS-RO) signals. GNSS signals experience attenuation,
delay spread, and polarization change
upon reflecting from ocean, terrain,
Dr. James Garrison or ice surfaces. These changes are
dependent on a number of variables, including ocean winds,
soil moisture, vegetation and ice classification. Variation in
the atmospheric index of refraction bends the GNSS signal
path during rising or setting occultations as a function of
the temperature and moisture profile. GNSS-R experiments were first conducted from
aircraft (1998-2002), followed by the UK-DMC satellite
demonstration in 2004. Recently, NASA selected
the CYGNSS constellation to observe tropical storm
development and ESA selected the PARIS In-Orbit
Demonstrator for satellite altimetry. Approval of these
missions begins the transition of GNSS-R from experimental
proof of concept to operational remote sensing. GNSS-RO
has been operational on the COSMIC constellation since
2006, providing important data for global weather forecast
models. Occultation measurements from aircraft have been
recently demonstrated. Both methods enable many types
of variables to be measured to be made using small, lowcost receivers with low-profile patch antennas, due to the
reutilization of the highly stable GNSS signal.
Course Level: This tutorial is intended for anyone interested
in the measurements obtainable from GNSS-R or GNSS-RO
for potential application within their own field. It is also
appropriate for GNSS systems engineers who desire to
identify technology needs and trends in developing new
instruments, algorithms, and missions to support future
applications of these promising new remote sensing
techniques.
A basic understanding of how GNSS works is desirable, but
not required. In order to make this material accessible to the
widest engineering and scientific audience, the tutorial will
be based around physical arguments with a minimum of
mathematical derivation. A bibliography will be provided to
students interested in learning more.
Dr. James Garrison is an associate professor of Aeronautics
and Astronautics at Purdue University. He earned a PhD
from the University of Colorado and is the author or coauthor of 26 journal articles, 54 conference proceedings,
six US Patents, and the chair of GNSS+R 2012. He has
received several awards, including a NASA New Investigator
grant and the ION Early Achievement Award. Prof. Garrison’
research is in remote sensing using GNSS and signals of
opportunity.

TUTORIALS: Monday Afternoon, 1:30 p.m.–5:00 p.m.
Sensor Integration for Personal Navigation
A review of navigation sensors and
techniques suitable for personal and
pedestrian navigation, including
selected Artificial Intelligence (AI)
methods. Personal navigation (PN)
is defined as navigation for military
and emergency personnel, while
Dr. Dorota Grejner-Brzezinska pedestrian navigation refers to
location/navigation/tracking of all
other types of mobile users.
The core technologies in personal
navigation systems are the Global
Positioning System (GPS) and
inertial sensors, which provide
seamless highly accurate navigation
Dr. Charles Toth
in open-sky environment, where
GPS signals are available. To facilitate navigation indoors or in
GPS-denied environments, additional navigation and imaging
sensors are required. An overview is provided of some of these
technologies, such as, wireless local area network, IR and RF
transponders, and ultra-wideband (UWB) networks, and a basic
introduction to 2D and 3D active and passive imaging sensors.
An example design that includes implementation and performance
assessment of a personal navigation system prototype that uses
GPS, inertial measurement unit (IMU), UWB, digital barometer,
magnetometer compass, and human locomotion model as well as
2D/3D imaging sensors to provide position and attitude estimates
to support navigation and tracking of military and rescue ground
personnel will be presented.
On the algorithmic side, the focus is on the indoor operation
and performance of the navigation filter. A dead reckoning (DR)
navigation approach will be presented that employs a human
locomotion model using an adaptive knowledge-based system
(KBS) based on AI techniques and tracking data obtained from
2D and 3D imaging sensors. The KBS is trained during the GPS
signal reception, and then supports navigation under GPSdenied conditions. System design, as well as a summary of the
performance analysis in the mixed indoor-outdoor environments,
with the special emphasis on DR performance, will be discussed.
Course Level: Beginner to Intermediate

Fundamentals of Nonlinear Recursive
Estimation
This course will present on overview
of estimation techniques suitable for
systems with nonlinearities that are
not well-suited to traditional linear or
extended Kalman filter algorithms.
The course begins with an overview of
the generalized recursive estimation
Dr. Michael Veth
problem and associated notation and
conventions. The limitations of applying linear theory to nonlinear
problems is addressed, along with techniques for compensating
for these adverse effects, including a brief overview of the
traditional extended Kalman filter and Gaussian sum techniques.
The mathematical effects of system nonlinearities on random
processes are presented along with computational techniques
for efficiently capturing this information, which serves as the
foundation for the development of many nonlinear estimators.
The unscented Kalman filter (UKF) and particle filters (PF) are
presented and analyzed using multiple examples. Common
limitations of nonlinear estimators are addressed and hybrid
solutions are discussed. The course concludes with a discussion
and qualitative comparison of the strengths and weaknesses
of various recursive estimation techniques from linear Kalman
filtering to particle filtering, and their applicability to various
problem spaces.
Numerous Matlab examples are presented to illustrate sample
nonlinear estimation algorithms and performance. The Matlab
source code will be provided for these examples along with the
electronic version of the course notes.
Course Level: This course will be presented at an engineering level
with the goal of understanding the fundamental concepts behind
current nonlinear estimation algorithms and how they compare
to traditional approaches. The course is appropriate for engineers
and scientists with linear and extended Kalman filter experience
with an interest in the potential benefits of nonlinear estimation
algorithms for difficult problems.
