Recent Methods for Evaluating GNSS Receiver Accuracy and Reliability

By • • Knowledge, Research, Teaching • , , , , , , • 8 minutes of reading

By Shahabuddin Amerudin Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers are vital in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), serving as the foundation for accurate spatial data collection. These systems are integral to a wide range of applications, including urban planning, precision agriculture, infrastructure development, and environmental monitoring, all of which demand high positional accuracy for reliable decision-making. Achieving sub-meter accuracy is essential, as even small positional errors can have significant implications, such as misalignment in land parcel delineation or imprecise application of resources in precision agriculture (Lachapelle & El-Rabbany, 2021). GNSS receivers, however, vary in performance due to factors like environmental conditions,

Mengimbangi Peranan Universiti dan Industri dalam Pembangunan Teknologi

By • • Knowledge, Project, Public, Research, Teaching • , , , • 3 minutes of reading

Universiti sering dianggap sebagai pusat inovasi dan pembangunan teknologi. Di sinilah teori-teori baru diasah, penyelidikan mendalam dijalankan, dan teknologi baru direka serta diuji. Dalam konteks ini, universiti sewajarnya memainkan peranan sebagai pelopor dalam pembangunan teknologi. Berbanding industri yang fokus kepada keuntungan, universiti berfungsi sebagai landasan untuk penyelidikan jangka panjang tanpa batasan komersial yang ketara. Oleh itu, ada asas untuk menyatakan bahawa universiti perlu lebih maju dari segi teknologi, kerana mereka membentuk dan meneroka konsep yang kemudiannya boleh digunakan oleh industri. Namun, realitinya tidak selalu begitu. Universiti kadang-kadang ketinggalan dalam teknologi praktikal yang digunakan oleh industri, disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor seperti bajet yang terhad,
