This study presents the recommended documentation methodology in archaeological practice, heritage conservation and other fields relating to historical and cultural heritage. It tests various methods of digital documentation, in terms of their accuracy, time required, technology operator requirements, etc. It formulates rules for the creation of 3D models using multi-image photogrammetry, as the most effective method of digital documentation in archaeological practice. It presents a series of criteria to compare this method with other digital documentation procedures used in archaeological situations, at heritage sites and on artefacts. The recommended methodology was developed based on experience from research at the Great Moravian hillfort of Mikulčice-Valy and has been verified at a number of other sites.
A series of common antenna observations using different Doppler receiver pairs has been evaluated with the Cross Doppler Count method. Results for four pairs of Magnavox MX 1502 and one pair of JMR 1A type receiver evaluations are presented. It is shown that the error interoduced by the receiver noise into the 4.6s Doppler counts is generally less than 0.04/2 count RMS (3 cm/2).
a1_In cooperation with AIUB (Astronomical Institute University of Berne), GOP (Geodetic Observatory Pecný) and IGN (Institut Géographique National), DORIS data analysis capabilities were implemented into the development version 5.0 of the Bernese GPS Software. The DORIS observables are reformulated that they are similar to GNSS carrier phase observations as much as possible allowing the use of the same observation models and algorithms as for GNSS carrier phase data analysis with only minor modifications. Evolution of DORIS data analysis using Bernese GPS Software is presented from the pilot campaign (September 2004) to the automatic processing of multi-year data time-series. The station and pole coordinates were estimated within the free-network approach and the long time-series of weekly estimated parameters are presented (1993.0- 2009.0) and analyzed. The RMS of the estimated polar coordinates significantly decreased after 2002, when the second generation of DORIS satellites was launched. A significant improvement has been achieved by processing the data from the new satellites (SPOT-5 and Envisat) launched in 2002. The RMS in 2003-2009.0 shows the decreasing trend and reached values close to 0.4 mas in both coordinates (2007-2008). Behavior of the terrestrial reference frame scale was quite stable with a few exceptions. Analysis of the major scale shift at the end of 2004 revealed the SPOT-5 and Envisat satellites as the source of the problem. On the other hand, the termination of the TOPEX/Poseidon DORIS data processing at the end of 2004 did not influence significantly the overall scale level. Another goal of the paper is a detail analysis of relations between the value of the observation residuals and the length of the observation time-interval. A simple empirical model considering the observation noise as a sum of the constant and time-dependent terms is applied and discussed., a2_A significant DORIS-GNSS ZTD bias as well as station height bias have been detected in the case of the SPOT-5 data for South America stations Santiago, Cachoiera Paulista, and Arequipa. These stations are located in the area of the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA)., Petr Štěpánek, Vratislav Filler, Urs Hugentobler and Jan Douša., and Obsahuje bibliografii
