| Description |
The IESSG was launched in 1988, having been previously well-known as the Nottingham Surveying Group, and as such, has been active since the 1960s. Technological revolution has been key with major advances in terrestrial opto-mechanical equipment, automated acquisition systems, and the development of satellite-based systems such as Transit, GPS and GLONASS, EGNOS and the European Galileo system.
The core of IESSG research activity traditionally focussed on satellite navigation and positioning systems but this widened to include fields such as photogrammetry, remote sensing, sensor integration and geographical information systems. Institute research ranged from fundamental science to application software solutions with an ever-increasing diversity from engineering surveying to unmanned aerial vehicles. |
