    Receiver with many independent channel, which canbe dedicated to continuously tracking one satellite.
  • Multidimensional Scaling
    A method of visualizing the level of similarity of individual cases of a dataset
  • Multipath Error
    Errors caused when a single satellite signal is received from two or more paths, one directly from the satellite and the other from reflected sources, which causes incorrect pseudoranges or carrier phase measurements (positioning errors) but could be minimized through antenna design and(...)
  • Multiple Regression
    A statistic techinque used to predict the unknown value of a variable from the given value of multiple variable( predictors).
  • Multiplexing
    A method to pass multiple analog message signals over a shared medium, generally used in telecommunications and computer networks to reduce costs.
  • Multireciever Positioning
    An extension of relative positioning by using multiple receivers (three or more) simultaneously and combining it with a closed network of points.
  • Multiresolution Data
    Display high resolution data from one source and low resolution data from another source and result in a composite image having panchromatic data and multispectral data.
  • Multisensor Image Merging
    Produce a composite image, which demonstrates greater interpretability than an image acquired from one sensor only, by multi-senseors.
  • Multispectral Camera
    A type of camera system can extend the sensing UV, visible, near-IR, mid-IR and thermal IR spectral regions.
  • Multispectral images
    Multispectral image is a combination of imaging and a complete electromagnetic spectrum which is collected at every location of an image plane.
  • Multistage Sensing
    To collect image from multiple altitudes.
  • Multitemporal Sensing
    To collect data in different time and more than one occation.
  • Multivariate Display
    Image/graph displaying more than one variable to aid of analysis.

    Data classification method that optimizes the groups of data values, to minimize the difference between the values of the same class.
  • Natural Breaks Classification
    To classify the data according to natural groupings inherent inside.
  • Natural Errors
    Type of Systematic Error caused by natural phenomena (i.e. wind, temperatutre, humidity, atmospheric pressure, atmospheric refraction, gravity, magnetic declination, etc…), which can be mathematically modelled and eliminiated.
  • Nature of Target
    Properties of the target when measured, affects the magnitude of received signal. Type: 1) Point Scatterer (e.g. void) 2) Line Reflector (e.g. pipeline) 3) Planar Reflector (e.g. smooth surface)
  • Nautical charts
    Chart of water depth, shoreline of land and prominent topographical features to help with navigation.
  • Navigation Message
    Message modulated on L1, L2 and L5 signals, it holds detail information about each satellite's position and the network made up of three components: GPS Date and Time, Orbital Information (Ephemeris), and Almanac.

    A form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between 0.7 to 1.3 µm.
  • Nearest Neighbor Resampling
    A method of resampling,the value of each cell in an output raster of resampling is calculated using the value of the nearest cell in an input raster
  • Nearest Neighbour
    Method of resampling values, approximated using values of nearest points but does not consider the values of neighbouring points.
  • Nearest Neighbour Analysis
    Spatial analysis method using the distance between the point and its closest neighbour to determine whether the point pattern is regular, random or clustered.
  • Nearest Neighbour Interpolation
    A method of multivariate interpolation, where values are approximated using values of nearest points but does nto consider the values of neighbouring points.
  • Neighbourhood Operations
    Operations performed on a focal cell and its surrounding cells.
  • Neighbourhoods
    A set containing similar feature, the point inside is allowed to be moved some amount without leaving the set.
