First, the zenith tropospheric delay (ZTD) is extracted in real time with high accuracy by combining the data of more than 500 GNSS stations in the Crustal Movement Observation Network of China (CMONOC) and national reference station network (NRSN); second, a grid model of the elevation normalization model (ENM) in China using ERA5 data is constructed, which takes into account the annual, semiannual and daily cycles. The ZTD estimated by GNSS stations at different heights based on precise point positioning (PPP) is normalized to a uniform height based on ENM; in addition, the optimal smoothing factors of the Gauss distance weighting function in different seasons are determined based on ERA5, which contributes to improved accuracy of ZTD interpolated from GNSS-derived ZTD to ZTD at grid points; finally, a real-time 1° × 1°ZTD grid model of China is created; the broadcast interval is extended to 6 min from few seconds. The new ZTD model has been evaluated using the data of 15 GNSS stations in China in 2020. The test results show that the new ZTD model deviates from the reference value with a mean value better than − 0.09 cm and RMSE, better than 1.44 cm compared with the ZTD estimated by post-processing GNSS, while the mean value of the deviation is -0.13 cm, and the RMSE is approximately 3.11 cm compared with radiosonde-derived ZTD. The new ZTD grid model can be used to enhance GNSS/PPP. Two weeks of GNSS observations, one week in winter and another in summer, were randomly collected for PPP processing. The statistical results show the convergence time in the vertical directions is shortened by 37.4% and 38.6% at the 95% and 68% confidence levels after ZTD constraints are applied to the float PPP solution, respectively.

INS-assisted inter-system biases estimation and inter-system ambiguity resolution in a complex environment / Wenhao Zhao in GPS solutions, vol 27 n° 1 (January 2023)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 27 n° 1 (January 2023) . - n° 3 Titre : INS-assisted inter-system biases estimation and inter-system ambiguity resolution in a complex environment Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Wenhao Zhao, Auteur ; Genyou Liu, Auteur ; Ming Gao, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : n° 3 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] centrale inertielle [Termes IGN] erreur systématique inter-systèmes [Termes IGN] filtre de Kalman [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté [Termes IGN] système complexe [Termes IGN] trajet multiple Résumé : (auteur) The inter-system real-time kinematic (RTK) model in which multiple systems choose the same reference satellite uses more observations than the traditional intra-system RTK model; however, it is still difficult to accurately determine the differential inter-system biases (DISB) and inter-system ambiguity in a complex environment. We propose a tightly coupled inter-system RTK/INS model that uses the high-precision position information the inertial navigation system (INS) provides to assist in DISB estimation and inter-system ambiguity resolution. Vehicle experiments on urban roads were designed to verify the effectiveness of the method. The vehicle experiments consisted of a simulated rare satellite environment with a high cutoff elevation angle and a real complex environment with buildings and trees obscuration. A robust Kalman filter strategy is used to combat the effects of multipath and non-line-of-sight signals in real complex environments. The results indicate that with the help of INS, the standard deviation of phase and code DISB is reduced by 11 and 17%, respectively, in the simulated environment and by 33 and 18%, respectively, in the real complex environment. Compared with the intra-system RTK/INS model, inter-system RTK/INS mode 3D positioning root-mean-square error is reduced by 79% in the simulated environment and by 27% in the real complex environment. In the single-epoch mode, the ambiguity success rates of the inter-system RTK/INS model, inter-system RTK model, intra-system RTK/INS model and intra-system RTK model are 89, 74, 69 and 58%, respectively, in the simulated environment, and 68, 41, 64 and 12%, respectively, in the real complex environment.

Semantic segmentation of bridge components and road infrastructure from mobile LiDAR data / Yi-Chun Lin in ISPRS Open Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, vol 6 (December 2022)  

Public [article]  inISPRS Open Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing > vol 6 (December 2022) . - n° 100023 Titre : Semantic segmentation of bridge components and road infrastructure from mobile LiDAR data Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Yi-Chun Lin, Auteur ; Ayman Habib, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 100023 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Lasergrammétrie [Termes IGN] apprentissage profond [Termes IGN] autoroute [Termes IGN] couplage GNSS-INS [Termes IGN] données lidar [Termes IGN] données localisées 3D [Termes IGN] lidar mobile [Termes IGN] pont [Termes IGN] réseau neuronal de graphes [Termes IGN] réseau routier [Termes IGN] segmentation sémantique [Termes IGN] semis de points Résumé : (auteur) Emerging mobile LiDAR mapping systems exhibit great potential as an alternative for mapping urban environments. Such systems can acquire high-quality, dense point clouds that capture detailed information over an area of interest through efficient field surveys. However, automatically recognizing and semantically segmenting different components from the point clouds with efficiency and high accuracy remains a challenge. Towards this end, this study proposes a semantic segmentation framework to simultaneously classify bridge components and road infrastructure using mobile LiDAR point clouds while providing the following contributions: 1) a deep learning approach exploiting graph convolutions is adopted for point cloud semantic segmentation; 2) cross-labeling and transfer learning techniques are developed to reduce the need for manual annotation; and 3) geometric quality control strategies are proposed to refine the semantic segmentation results. The proposed framework is evaluated using data from two mobile mapping systems along an interstate highway with 27 highway bridges. With the help of the proposed cross-labeling and transfer learning strategies, the deep learning model achieves an overall accuracy of 84% using limited training data. Moreover, the effectiveness of the proposed framework is verified through test covering approximately 42 miles along the interstate highway, where substantial improvement after quality control can be observed.

The traditional particle swarm optimisation (PSO) may be trapped into local optimisation. To avoid the disadvantage, the proposed algorithm uses linear inertia weight factor and two functions of the immune system, i.e. the memory function and the self-regulatory function. Several experiments are carried out by adopting real survey data collected by the SiNan receiver that is installed on the Snow Dragon scientific research ship during the 9th China Arctic expedition. Compared with the minimum Geometric dilution of precision (GDOP) method, PSO and IPSO significantly reduce the computing time (96.25% and 95.61%). The variance of IPSO is 0.063, which is much lower than that of PSO (0.087). As for the positioning accuracy, the IPSO can reach the centimetre level in the kinematics condition.

This study aimed to test the accuracy of a UAV-mounted GNSS RTK (real-time kinematic) system for calculating tree height and crown height without any GCPs. The study was conducted on a Cupressus arizonica (Greene., Arizona cypress) plantation on the Razi University Campus in Kermanshah, Iran. Arizona cypress is commonly planted as an ornamental tree. As it can tolerate harsh conditions, this species is highly appropriate for afforestation and reforestation projects. A total of 107 trees were subjected to field-measured dendrometric measurements (height and crown diameter). UAV data acquisition was performed at three altitudes of 25, 50, and 100 m using a local network RTK system (NRTK). The crown height model (CHM), derived from a digital surface model (DSM), was used to estimate tree height, and an inverse watershed segmentation (IWS) algorithm was used to estimate crown diameter. The results indicated that the means of tree height obtained from field measurements and UAV estimation were not significantly different, except for the mean values calculated at 100 m flight altitude. Additionally, the means of crown diameter reported from field measurements and UAV estimation at all flight altitudes were not statistically different.
