Overview 
With this Mobile Mapping and Navigation Systems program from Warsaw University of Technology you will learn the principles of designing, developing and using mobile measurement platforms and mobile mapping systems (MMS), how to design location-based systems (LBS) and navigation applications (GNSS, GNSS/INS) and how to choose appropriate techniques for acquiring spatial data (photogrammetry, remote sensing, computer vision).
Furthermore, you will gain a comprehensive knowledge about outdoor (self-driving car, UAV) and indoor navigation systems. Finally, you will be trained on how to integrate and process the data from multiple sensors for navigation applications. You will create technologies of the future.

Programme structure, Courses content:
