Rover, Go Your Own Way
Masayoshi Matsuoka, Stephen M. Rock, and Maria G. Bualat
Robotic rovers roaming remote areas could position themselves with drift-free, centimeter-level, three-dimensional accuracy ? all without a satellite constellation. Posited for Mars exploration, a self-calibrating array of pseudolites eliminates the need for accurate a priori position information, precise placement, or navigation satellites. -
GPS Goes Martian
Kyle O?Keefe, Gérard Lachapelle, and Susan Skone
NASA has proposed a GPS-like system for Mars, and the French space agency plans to field a fleet of exploratory vehicles that will position themselves by observing the passing satellites. Canadian researchers calculate inter-satellite and satellite-ground ranges and range rates, simulating and assessing performance of both systems.

Potential for Calibrating Airborne Video Imagery Using Preflight Calibration Coefficients
A. Edirisinghe, J.P. Louis, and G.E. Chapman
The problem of in-flight radiometric calibration for an airborne video imaging system in the absence of onboard calibration equipment is addressed, and a mechanism to improve operational calibration efficiency through effective utilization of preflight calibration data is provided. - Assessment of Bidirectional Effects over Aquatic Macrophyte Vegetation in CIR Aerial Photographs
Kirsi Valta-Hulkkonen, Petri Pellikka, and Jouni Peltoniemi
It is shown statistically that the relationship between measured upwelling radiation and the sun-target-sensor geometry is weak for an aquatic macropyte species but strong for birch and mixed birch-spruce forest.
