We made quality assessments for two kinds of observables in the 21 VGOS sessions currently available: group delay and differential total electron content (δTEC). Our study reveals that the random measurement noise of VGOS group delays is at the level of less than 2 ps (1ps=10−12 s), while the contributions from systematic error sources, mainly source structure related, are at the level of 20 ps. Due to the significant improvement in measurement noise, source structure effects with relatively small magnitudes that are not overwhelming in the S/X VLBI system, for instance 10 ps, are clearly visible in VGOS observations. Another critical error source in VGOS observations is discrete delay jumps, for instance, a systematic offset of about 310 ps or integer multiples of that. The predominant causative factor is found to be related to source structure. The measurement noise level of δTEC observables is about 0.07 TECU, but the systematic effects are five times larger than that. A strong correlation between group delay and δTEC observables is discovered with a trend of 40 ps/TECU for observations with large structure effects; there is a second trend in the range 60–70 ps/TECU when the measurement noise is dominant.

Integrity investigation of global ionospheric TEC maps for high-precision positioning / Jiaojiao Zhao in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 3 (March 2021)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 95 n° 3 (March 2021) . - n° 35 Titre : Integrity investigation of global ionospheric TEC maps for high-precision positioning Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Jiaojiao Zhao, Auteur ; Manuel Hernández-Pajares, Auteur ; Ningbo Wang, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 35 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] carte ionosphérique mondiale [Termes IGN] erreur moyenne quadratique [Termes IGN] International GNSS Service [Termes IGN] modèle ionosphérique [Termes IGN] modèle stochastique [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] tempête magnétique [Termes IGN] teneur totale en électrons Résumé : (auteur) Aside from the ionospheric total electron content (TEC) information, root-mean-square (RMS) maps are also provided as the standard deviations of the corresponding TEC errors in global ionospheric maps (GIMs). As the RMS maps are commonly used as the accuracy indicator of GIMs to optimize the stochastic model of precise point positioning algorithms, it is of crucial importance to investigate the reliability of RMS maps involved in GIMs of different Ionospheric Associated Analysis Centers (IAACs) of the International GNSS Service (IGS), i.e., the integrity of GIMs. We indirectly analyzed the reliability of RMS maps by comparing the actual error of the differential STEC (dSTEC) with the RMS of the dSTEC derived from the RMS maps. With this method, the integrity of seven rapid IGS GIMs (UQRG, CORG, JPRG, WHRG, EHRG, EMRG, and IGRG) and six final GIMs (UPCG, CODG, JPLG, WHUG, ESAG and IGSG) was examined under the maximum and minimum solar activity conditions as well as the geomagnetic storm period. The results reveal that the reliability of the RMS maps is significantly different for the GIMs from different IAACs. Among these GIMs, the values in the RMS maps of UQRG are large, which can be used as ionospheric protection level, while the RMS values in EHRG and ESAG are significantly lower than the realistic RMS. The rapid and final GIMs from CODE, JPL and WHU provide quite reasonable RMS maps. The bounding performance of RMS maps can be influenced by the location of the stations, while the influence of solar activity and the geomagnetic storm is not obvious.

Adjusting the regular network of squares resolution to the digital terrain model surface shape / Dariusz Gościewski in ISPRS International journal of geo-information, vol 9 n° 12 (December 2020)  

Public [article]  inISPRS International journal of geo-information > vol 9 n° 12 (December 2020) . - n° 761 Titre : Adjusting the regular network of squares resolution to the digital terrain model surface shape Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Dariusz Gościewski, Auteur ; Małgorzata Gerus-Gościewska, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : n° 761 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications photogrammétriques [Termes IGN] données lidar [Termes IGN] erreur moyenne quadratique [Termes IGN] interpolation [Termes IGN] modèle numérique de surface [Termes IGN] modèle numérique de terrain [Termes IGN] morphologie [Termes IGN] semis de points [Termes IGN] Triangulated Irregular Network Résumé : (auteur) A regular network of squares is formed by points uniformly distributed (mostly in the square corners) over the surface that is represented by the network. Each point (node) of the network has specified coordinates (X and Y) with a fixed constant distance between them. The third coordinate in a node (H) is determined by the application of interpolation based on the points distributed (usually dispersed as a point cloud e.g., from LiDAR) over the surface of the area surrounding the node. The regular network of squares formed in this manner allows the representation of a digital terrain model (DTM) to be performed in spatial information systems (SIP, GIS). The main problem that arises during the construction of such a network is the proper determination of its resolution (the base distance between the coordinates X and Y) depending on the topography. This article presents a method of the regular network of squares resolution determination depending on the morphological shape of the terrain surface. Following the application of the procedures being described, a differently shaped terrain is assigned various network densities. This enables the minimisation of inaccuracies of the surface model being formed. Consequently, a regular network of squares is formed with different base square sizes, which is adjusted with its resolution to the morphology of the surface it describes. Such operations allow the terrain model accuracy to be maintained over the entire area while reducing the number of points stored in the DTM database to the minimum.

Dense stereo matching strategy for oblique images that considers the plane directions in urban areas / Jianchen Liu in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 58 n° 7 (July 2020)

In this article, a strategy of dense matching in which the object plane direction is considered is proposed. According to many regular planes in urban areas, epipolar rectification with minimum distortions relative to the selected reference planes can be generated. The matching results of epipolar images relative to various reference planes are weighted and fused into a single depth map, which is a better matching result. The experimental results demonstrate that the perspective distortion has a substantial influence on the dense matching performance. The root-mean-square error (RMSE) of the flatness for horizontal objects is increased by approximately 30%, and the RMSE of the flatness for façades is increased by approximately 40%. Hence, the proposed matching strategy, in which the object plane is considered, can effectively improve the matching results.

Estimation of tropospheric wet refractivity using tomography method and artificial neural networks in Iranian case study / Mir Reza Ghaffari Razin in GPS solutions, Vol 24 n° 3 (July 2020)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > Vol 24 n° 3 (July 2020) Titre : Estimation of tropospheric wet refractivity using tomography method and artificial neural networks in Iranian case study Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Mir Reza Ghaffari Razin, Auteur ; Behzad Voosoghi, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] coefficient de corrélation [Termes IGN] données GPS [Termes IGN] erreur moyenne quadratique [Termes IGN] erreur relative [Termes IGN] Iran [Termes IGN] réfraction atmosphérique [Termes IGN] réseau neuronal artificiel [Termes IGN] retard troposphérique [Termes IGN] retard troposphérique zénithal [Termes IGN] tomographie par GPS [Termes IGN] vapeur d'eau [Termes IGN] voxel Résumé : (auteur) Using the observations from local and regional GPS networks, the estimation of slant wet delays (SWDs) is possible for each line of sight between satellite and receiver. The observations of SWD are used to model horizontal and vertical variations of the wet refractivity in the atmosphere above the study area. This work is done using the tomography method. In tomography, the horizontal variations of tropospheric wet refractivity are modeled with the polynomial in degree and rank of 2 with latitude and longitude as variables. Also, altitude variations are modeled in the form of discrete layers with constant heights. The main innovation is to estimate the tropospheric parameters for each line of sight by the artificial neural networks (ANNs). The SWD obtained from GPS observations for the different signals at each station is compared with the SWD generated by the ANNs (SWDGPS–SWDANNs). The square of the difference between these two values is introduced as the cost function in the ANNs. To evaluate, we used observations from October 27 to 31, 2011. The availability of GPS and radiosonde data is the main reason for choosing this timeframe. The correlation coefficient, root mean square error (RMSE), and relative error allow for evaluation of the proposed model. The results were also compared with the results of the voxel-based troposphere tomography method. For a more detailed evaluation, four test stations are selected and ANN zenith wet delays (ZWDANN) are compared with the ZWDGPS. Observations of test stations are not used in the modeling step. The correlation coefficient in the testing step for TomoANN and Tomovoxel is 0.9006 and 0.8863, respectively. The mean RMSE at 5 days for TomoANN and Tomovoxel is calculated as 0.63 and 0.71 mm/km, respectively. Also, the average relative error at the four test stations for TomoANN is 15.37% and for Tomovoxel it is 19.69%. The results demonstrate the better capability of the proposed method in the modeling of the tropospheric wet refractivity in the region of Iran.
