This research group was created in 1997 in the Cartographic, Geodesic and Photogrammetry Engineering Department of Jaén University under the Andalusian Research Plan (Plan Andaluz de Investigación, PAI). It focuses its activities on the sphere of Geodesy (GPS, GALILEO, INSAR, Active Networks, and NRTK) and related sciences.

This research group has precision geodesic instruments and GNSS data and SAR image processing software in place:

• 13 GNSS Leica Geosystems stations, model GR10 with AR10 antennas
• 2 GNSS Leica Viva GS10 receivers with AS10 antennas
• Software for GNSS data: Bernese and Gipsy; and for series processing: Neve and CATS
• Interferometric processing software (DORIS) and PS processing (StaMPS and DePSI)
