GNSS + IMU Developer, and Tersus Guy
Greetings from Northern California
My name is Mike Horton, and I am an active developer in the field GNSS + IMU Navigation Systems. My blog on these topics can be found on Medium. I built the first Inertial Measurement Unit (??Gyro?) using low-cost solid-state sensors that was approved for manned flight in small aircraft by the FAA. I have helped several of the companies building survey receivers implement tilt compensation correctly using these same types of sensors.
As an end-user of survey equipment, I am newer to the practice of classic land survey. However, I recently started working with the Tersus Oscar Survey System to do some field work for Autonomous Automotive Testing, specifically Safety Validation in terms of automated stops and turns in difficult or contested situations. It is actually a very difficult problem requiring centimeter accuracy and milli-second decisions.
Recently, I am interested to obtain a PLS license in CA to get a deeper experience.
I am also helping the good folks at Tersus build up their business.
I like to keep busy but also chat a lot too. So again, I am very glad to be here, and I look forward to meeting more of you.
