Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss and demonstrate how wavelets can be used to improve the performance of geodetic measurement systems; more specifically to explore the use of wavelets as a tool for analyzing and de-noising the errors that are inherent in GPS/INS systems. Because the wavelet transform provides a time-resolution representation of a signal, it offers the unique ability to analyze the error characteristics of such systems at different frequencies and to localize them in time. This is something not offered by tools that operate in the time or frequency domains. It is seen that these features can be useful for analyzing and removing the errors in kinematic geodetic systems
