    Abstract: The invention discloses an improved GNSS receiver which determines a location of the receiver by combining a first location determined from the standard PVT and a second location determined by integrating the velocity from the standard PVT. The combination is based on a weighting of the error budgets of the first location and the second location. The improved receiver is preferably based on a standard receiver with an add-on software module which receives and processes data transmitted from the standard receiver by, for example, NMEA messages. The improved receiver allows a determination of a more precise and smoother trajectory in a simple way.

    Abstract: The invention discloses an antenna assembly configured to transmit terrestrial positioning signals from a relay platform having a frame of reference (x, y, z), said transmit being in at least a first mode with a radiating pattern having at least a main lobe having a narrow aperture in a (x, z) plane and a wide aperture in a (y, z) plane. It also discloses a relay platform comprising a receiver of a synchronization signal, a transmitter of positioning signals to an area of service comprising a number of rovers, and an antenna assembly configured to produce a radiating pattern adapted to transmit the positioning signals as a function of the environment of the relay platform and the rovers. In a number of embodiments the relay platforms may be organized in a network of platforms, possibly of masters and slaves that receive feed-back from the rovers in the AoS so as to optimize the configuration of the antenna elements dynamically to optimize the QoS of positioning based on a number of selected quality indexes.

    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning techniques. More particularly, it relates to a method to improve the time required to compute a position measurement in a GNSS receiver, and the time required to make this position measurement accurate. The method comprises computing a snapshot PVT (Position Velocity and Time) measurement, and use it to reduce the time required to acquire new signals to compute a conventional PVT measurement. It also relates to a receiver implementing the method.

    Abstract: The invention discloses an improved GNSS receiver which determines a location of the receiver by combining a first location determined from the standard PVT of a multi-frequency receiver and a second location determined by integrating the velocity from the standard PVT. The combination is based on a duty cycle or a combination of the duty cycle with a weighting of the error budgets of the first position and the second location. The improved receiver is preferably based on a standard receiver with an add-on software module which receives and processes data transmitted from the standard receiver by, for example, NMEA messages. The improved receiver allows a determination of a more precise and smoother trajectory in a simple way.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a user computing device, method and computer program to display a view to the user. The invention allows a user to display a number of different views with photorealistic rendering of how the view should look like at a view time, based solely on view position, and descriptors of the view. In an aspect, the invention deduces from view position and view time the view descriptors (weather parameters, traffic parameters...); selects, in a collection of images, an image of the view based on view position; modifies the image to match descriptors of the view (for example, by adding a rain effect if the image in the collection is under sunshine and the view should be displayed under rain). Thus, the invention allows displaying photorealistic images of how a view should look like at any time.
