    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a visualization of satellite sightline obstructions are provided. An example method includes identifying an approximate position of a receiver antenna. The method further includes providing a rendering of a physical environment surrounding the receiver antenna for display within a user interface. The user interface can be provided on a display. Satellite positional data associated with the position of a satellite is accessed and a sightline between the approximate position of the receiver antenna and the position of the satellite is determined. The method further includes presenting the sightline within the user interface in association with the rendering. An example system includes a data capture system and a computing device to provide a visualization of satellite sightline obstructions.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating attitude using double differenced GPS carrier phase measurements are provided. An exemplary computer-implemented method includes obtaining, by one or more computing devices, an initial candidate attitude. The method includes determining, by the one or more computing devices, a plurality of expected double differenced carrier phase values based on the initial candidate attitude. The method includes inputting, by the one or more computing devices, the plurality of expected double differenced carrier phase values into a cost function. The cost function respectively compares the plurality of expected double differenced carrier phase values to a plurality of measured double differenced carrier phase values. The method includes minimizing, by the one or more computing devices, the cost function. The method includes selecting, by the one or more computing devices, a final candidate attitude associated with the minimized cost function as the attitude of the device.
