5 PROJECT SCHEDULE 
Activities for the test have started in May 1999. At the time of writing (March 2000) the companies Applanix and IGI 
mbH are carrying out the GPS/IMU data pre-processing. The proposed schedule for the test is as follows:

6 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 
The authors are grateful to the companies Applanix, IGI mbH, Fotonor AS and Fjellanger Wideree Aviation AS for 
participating in the test and for having acquired and provided the tests data. We would also like to thank the Norwegian 
Mapping Authority Statens Kartverk, Honefoss for making available the measurements of the GPS reference stations 
and the OEEPE for their support of the project.
