GeoLight (version 2.0.0)

Analysis of Light Based Geolocator Data

Description

Provides basic functions for global positioning based on light intensity measurements over time. Positioning process includes the determination of sun events, a discrimination of residency and movement periods, the calibration of period-specific data and, finally, the calculation of positions.
