Absolutely one of the most educational and well presented videos I have watched!! I like another viewer wished that the stuff in the field had been filmed :) I now have a MUCH better understanding on GPS and RTK in general. Thank you very much!!

Exceptional lecture, very well organized and keeping to the point. It's actually a lot easier to follow the entire lecture (almost 1.5 hours) than most people might think. Thanks a lot!

tastic teaching with top notch drawing and hand writing skills!Really happy that I stumbled on to this and now finally understand the GPS plus. Thanks Dr. Medeiros and University of Central Florida for sharing such well presented teaching that goes on there at your University

The content was extremely well delivered. A highly informative video which answered many questions I had regarding the use of RTK systems.

Wooow..am just 5mins into the video playback but i have understood something i have never learned/heard from anywhere/anybody in the past prior to this video. Is a well delivered class. Great job Dr. Medeiros. We need more of such videos

In a few minutes I learned so much. Thanks and greetings from Panama, Central America

Fantastic teaching with top notch drawing and hand writing skills!Really happy that I stumbled on to this and now finally understand the GPS plus. Thanks Dr. Medeiros and University of Central Florida for sharing such well presented teaching that goes on there at your University.

I've been surveying for a few yrs now and I never quite knew how all this worked. This is rather interesting and loaded with good information!!! Thanks Doc!!

thank you very much, that was extremely helpful. hope to find another land surveying workshop videos very soon on this channel

I've been in surveying my whole career of about 20 years now and I've never felt like I've understood this stuff until right now, what an amazing display of intelligence and great explanation.

Very well delivered talk on surveying. Very concise and to the point.

the best talk I have heard about gnss, congratulations, from mexico

Awesome video. The guy teaching was excellent. Thank you to whoever posted this. 👊🏻

I was just listening and not looking at my screen and said to myself he sounds like S Medeiros. I used to work with you. Very informative video.

Very good lecture, and great overview of the GPS fundamentals.

Thanks for the presentation. Very well explained & demonstrated.

The material given from this video is practical enough for a civil engineer to do a simply topograhic survey by himself without the help from third party (saves plenty of time without the needs for setting out control points at remote area by total station) ±20mm horizontal and ±40mm vertical for RTK is sufficient for general purpose. Thank you for the lecture.

Thank you very much for publishing this information. I am using Pix4D in conjunction with aerial photos taken with my drone to produce orthomosaics. I understand the process, but in the three courses I have taken, very little explanation is provided on how to obtain the GPS data.

YOU BEEN I BIG BLESSING TO ME. YOU HAVE A TALENT TO EXPLAIN AND TEACH SOMETHING SO HARD I A WAY THAT I UNDERSTAND IT. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND CAREER.

Thank you for the presentation. I enjoyed and learned quite bit.

Wonderful! Thanks Dr. Medeiros

Thank you Dr. Great information and well put together.

I love the lecture, so much detailed and i am really pleasured to have the chance to watch it.

I have learned a lot from this lesson, thank you very much sir

Excellent intro to GNSS, thank you so much for sharing

Fantastic presentation. Simple but quite informative

Very NICE video, very well done.

im only 5 minutes into this lecture and really loving it.

This is very good and detailed presentation.

great video, very helpful.

Extremely best lesson. boosts my knowledge as a surveyor in Kenya

Well delivered! Clarify many things specially in rtk I wish you filmed on field too Any how keep it up!

This topic of land surveys is important for one to learn from this lecture.

Can't thank you enough!

Very good presentation!

Thanks, Great Informations

Very useful for technical students

I hope sir that you could explain to us the static mode in GPS and how to observe points with static methods. Much appreciated.

Nice and helpful lecture.

This is what I need

Very good info.

Thanks, Watching from Bangladesh. It's very helpfull for us

Excellent presentation

This is fantastic

Great lecture

Superb!

THANK YOU

this topic on land surveying is phenomenal by the lecturer who indeed understand land surveying and what it takes be one. i wish to have him as friend so things will be in other in surveying. but want him to tell me is it possible to plotts coordinate on Google earth pro. please keep me posted on lands surveying.

Well delivered information. However, is it common in USA, answer the phone middle of session?55:04 Even it’s not silent mod lol

What do you mean when you say(1:09:47) you were able to " cut out a little piece of the geoid" for your project site? how do we create this localized area?

nice well done

I think you can't know the distance of the device to the satellite just by listening one signal, because your device does not know the correct time. So to what would it be comparing that received pseudo random number at 10:00, it it doesn't know the correct time? I think it needs to receive more signals, to get the clock in he device corrected?

13:35 "shift by 2 numbers can tell you the time difference" well how do you know if the shift is by 2 numbers or by ENTIRE_SEQUENCE+2numbers? or generally by N_TIMES*ENTIRE_SEQUENCE+2numbers?

so is this a class for free or can i sign up for this? btw the presenter looked a little nervous but i kinda understand now just need more confidence in his speech..

A nice piece ,how can i have this software.GPSRTK cost .

lol I have been surveying for 24 years . This was as exciting as watching snails mate . However it's informative if it's a beginners workshop . But I guess simple is best . I use the earl dudley network for my base and carlson DCs and BXR receivers . His explanation of grid to ground could use further explaining .

Hi. Can you do a video for static method?

I am interested the workshop

Where else can I find videos like these?

que bueno seria traducción en español

Very good perspiration, Thank you

Someone probably already made this comment, but cell phones do not get additional position data from a “WiFi” signal, they get that information from a cellular signal. They try to refine your position by determining your distance from the cellular tower you are connected to.

Yes, this is a good general overview of GPS fundamentals but the explanation of how RTK works is wrong. At around 48:00, he mentions that the base station transmits a "delta" so the rover can correct its coordinates. Actually, the base station transmits its raw carrier phase observations to the rover so it can process the relative vector from the base by double differencing.

I think Chris is lecturing

The base position is not a known position at all. It's.just a constant position that can be used to process a relative position from the base to the rover.. 47:07.

24 flat earthers disliked this video

GNSS is a generic term....we are using RTK for property surveys...

At 33:57 he states that (10123, 459344) shows 10,123 meters north and not east. Is this not (East, North) just like an (x,y)? He states the Northing first, and the Easting second.

speaking of measuring elevation, Why can I measure the elevation at sea level and I can measure the elevation of the mountain top and every foot in between but I can not measure the 8" per mile squared according to the pythagorean theorum of geometry and spheres for earth to be a spinning ball with a circumference of 24,901 miles let me tell you all why EARTH is FLAT

i like how the students asked him questions to clarify how a gps reciever would know when the signal started in order to find the difference between the time when it was sent and the time it was recieved and he just kept pointing at his dumbass explanation on the board that displayed literally zero math and expected everyone to just nod their heads as if it was a sufficient explanation....

THIS IS ENOUGH ....

Amazing crash course on GPS Surveying. What's with people and thinking they can just pick up their phone call in the middle of lecture? 55:05. Learn how to respect, lady.

The explanation for how the RTK solution is derived is completely false.

This video needs some corrections. At 1:30 he says "...maintained by the United States Air Force". The GPS constellation is both maintained and operated by the United States Air Force. Kinda Nit-picking? Well lets go on... At 1:45 he mentions "27 GPS satellites" (space vehicles); there are actually more than that in orbit, and the constellation performance requirements are based on a constellation of 24 available space vehicles, not 27. At 1:57 he says ..."wherever you're standing each satellite will pass over your head twice in a day", and at 2:30 he draws a depiction of GPS orbits and mentions "orbital planes". One of the planes he draws is a polar orbit. Be advised that the inclination for ALL of the GPS space vehicle orbits is the same, and it is 55 degrees. Importantly: between 55 deg north latitude and the north pole and 55 deg south latitude and the south pole NO GPS space vehicles ever pass overhead. Thus precision of GPS solutions for users in those latitudes degrades as they get closer to each respective pole. All you have to do is Google "GPS orbit inclination" to confirm that. Given 3+ strikes in less than 3 minutes, and you can Google to get more reliable information: I'm not wasting any more time watching this.

Only could watch for 2 minutes. Extremely poor audio.

This is a terrible explanation of how gps works.

I'd expect better from a university.

This lecture goes veeeery sloowly and is very primitive.

I think Chris is lecturing
