= Navigation Processing =

The first step of processing a project is to do the navigation.

If '''using a base station then you must first verify it's location''':

 * '''[wiki:Processing/BasestationVerification Base station position verification]'''

If you need to process navigation data for the ALS-II Lidar/RCD (IPAS) then follow one of these links:

 * [wiki:Processing/IPASPro IPASPro Processing]
 * [wiki:Processing/IPASTC IPASTC Processing]

For data collected in 2012 we can use the .sol files generated above directly in the hyperspectral processing software.

=== Base station issues ===

If there are no basestation data with the project then check [wiki:Processing/GNSSStatinons here] for possible places to download from.

If you find you need to do a Network Adjustment then look [wiki:Processing/NetworkAdjustment here] for instructions how.

For limited information on converting base station formats check this [wiki:Processing/RawToRinex page].


=== Older instructions for pre 2012 ===

If you need to process navigation data for the hyperspectral instruments:

Due to problems with the applanix system in 2011, instead of processing the applanix navigation separately, we now convert the IPAS .sol generated above into an .sbet and use this, with appropriate changes to the boresight and lever arms. 

To convert, go into IPAS and click Tools -> File Converter.

The old applanix instructions are here:
