In compliance with the concept of VLBI, additional parameters reflecting relative offsets and variations of the atomic clocks of the radio telescopes have to be estimated. In addition, reality shows that in many cases significant offsets appear in the observed group delays for individual baselines which have to be compensated for by estimating so-called baseline-dependent clock offsets (BCOs). For the first time, we systematically investigate the impact of BCOs to stress their importance for all kinds of VLBI data analyses. For our investigations, we concentrate on analyzing data from both legacy networks of the CONT17 campaign. Various aspects of BCOs including their impact on the estimates of geodetically important parameters, such as station coordinates and Earth orientation parameters, are investigated. In addition, some of the theory behind the BCO determination, e.g., the impact of changing the reference clock in the observing network on the BCO estimate is introduced together with the relationship between BCOs and triangle delay closures. In conclusion, missing channels, and here in particular at S band, affecting the ionospheric delay calibration, are identified to be the dominant cause for the occurrence of significant BCOs in VLBI data analysis.

Observable quality assessment of broadband very long baseline interferometry system / Ming H. Xu in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 5 (May 2021)

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.

Hyperspectral imagery provides the necessary spectral diversity to recover the composition of materials on site for applications such as the detection of fires, anomalies, chemical agents, targets and changes in the scene.The requirement for cheaper and more compact devices (e.g. to be embarked on low cost satellites and airborne platform) which are capable of capturing this information has led to the development of nonconventional innovative design concepts to overcome the technological limitations of traditional cameras. Data acquired by such novel imaging devices following the computational imaging paradigm are typically not readily exploitable for the final application. A computational phase is hence needed for extracting useful information from the raw acquisitions.This thesis addresses this issue by setting up an inversion problem. The general approach is to characterize the data fidelity term with a physical model, describing the underlying optical transformations performed by the device. The challenge is then shifted on the regularization step to properly characterizes the features of the quantities of interest and improve the accuracy of the estimation, which can be tackled with variational techniques.The analysis is applied to two novel concepts for nonconventional optical devices. The first one is a novel compressed acquisition imaging system based on color filter arrays, which embeds information from sensors with different spatial and spectral characteristics into a single mosaiced product. As opposed to existing compressed sensing based devices, the goal is not to recover the original uncompressed multiresolution sources, but instead to directly recover a synthetic fused image with both high spatial and spectral resolution.The proposed solution relies on the total variation regularization and is the subject of a detailed analysis, comparing its compressive power with straightforward software alternatives, evaluating its performances as the amount of channels changes, and validating its efficiency in comparison to state of the art methods when applied to classical fusion or mosaicing algorithms separately.The second class of devices is based on the ImSPOC patent, a design concept for a low finesse snapshot imaging spectrometer based on the interferometry of Fabry-Pérot. Its ideal behaviour follows the principle of the Fourier Transform Spectroscopy, as its acquisition can be interpreted as a sampled version of an interferogram, arranged across different sub-images distributed on the same focal plane.After defining a physical model based on optical geometry, its validity is evaluated over real acquisitions by setting up a Bayesian inference problem to determine its parameters, with approaches based on maximum likelihood estimators, regular-grid searches and nonlinear regression.A variety of preliminary tests are then carried out on the inversion method, with approaches based on singular value decomposition and sparse-inducing regularizers, accompanied by a analysis of their robustness to model mismatches.

Stochastic models for geodesy and geoinformation science / Frank Neitzel (2021)

Therefore, the unknown parameters must be linked with the measured values by a mathematical model which consists of the functional and the stochastic models. The functional model describes the geometrical–physical relationship between the measurements and the unknown parameters. This relationship is sufficiently well known for most applications. With regard to the stochastic model, two problem domains of fundamental importance arise: 1. How can stochastic models be set up as realistically as possible for the various geodetic observation methods and sensor systems? 2. How can the stochastic information be adequately considered in appropriate least squares adjustment models? Further questions include the interpretation of the stochastic properties of the computed target values with regard to precision and reliability and the use of the results for the detection of outliers in the input data (measurements). In this Special Issue, current research results on these general questions are presented in ten peer-reviewed articles. The basic findings can be applied to all technical scientific fields where measurements are used for the determination of parameters to describe geometric or physical phenomena.

Benefits of non-tidal loading applied at distinct levels in VLBI analysis / Matthias Glomsda in Journal of geodesy, vol 94 n° 9 (September 2020)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 94 n° 9 (September 2020) . - n° 90 Titre : Benefits of non-tidal loading applied at distinct levels in VLBI analysis Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Matthias Glomsda, Auteur ; Mathis Blossfeld, Auteur ; Manuela Seitz, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : n° 90 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] données ITGB [Termes IGN] effet de charge [Termes IGN] interférométrie à très grande base [Termes IGN] pesanteur hors marée [Termes IGN] retard troposphérique [Termes IGN] série temporelle [Termes IGN] surcharge hydrologique [Termes IGN] surcharge océanique [Termes IGN] transformation de Helmert Résumé : (auteur) In the analysis of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations, many geophysical models are used for correcting the theoretical signal delay. In addition to the conventional models described by Petit and Luzum (eds) (IERS Conventions, 2010), we are applying different parts of non-tidal site loading, namely the atmospheric, oceanic, and hydrological ones. To investigate their individual contributions, these parts are considered both separately and combined to a total loading. The application of the corresponding site displacements is performed at two distinct levels of the geodetic parameter estimation process (observation and normal equation level), which turn out to give very similar results in many cases. To validate our findings internally, the site displacements are provided by two different data centres: the Earth-System-Modelling group at the Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum in Potsdam (ESMGFZ, see Dill and Dobslaw, J Geophys Res Solid Earth, 2013. https://doi.org/10.1002/jgrb.50353ISTEX)] and the International Mass Loading Service [IMLS, see Petrov (The international mass loading service, 2015)]. We show that considering non-tidal loading is actually useful for mitigating systematic effects in the VLBI results, like annual signals in the station height time series. If the sum of all non-tidal loading parts is considered, the WRMS of the station heights and baseline lengths is reduced in 80–90% of all cases, and the relative improvement is about −3.5% on average. The main differences between our chosen providers originate from hydrological loading.
