Additionally, detailed mathematical models of constrained least squares adjustments of RTK positioning based on two or three different RTK/GNSS receivers are presented. The models were tested on real RTK data using three rover Trimble RTK receivers and three reference stations of the ASG-EUPOS system. Practical calculations obtained from the adjustments showed improved accuracy over traditional RTK positioning when reference GNSS stations were located far away (about 30 km from the mobile RTK receivers). The maximum average absolute error for horizontal and vertical coordinates in constrained RTK positioning was over two times lower than in the single baseline RTK positioning, and reached 0.021 and 0.046 m, respectively. Since the concept of constrained and redundant, single-epoch RTK adjustment can be used for static or kinematic applications in real-time positioning, it can also be widely used in geoscience surveying and remote sensing.

Ionospheric data are derived from these measurements providing outstanding space coverage and time resolution. There are about 200 million independent measurements daily. Researchers need sophisticated software tools to deal with such a large amount of data. We present recent advances and products from the System for Ionosphere Monitoring and Research from GNSS (SIMuRG). Currently, SIMuRG provides the total electron content (TEC) variations filtered within 2–10 min, 10–20 min, and 20–60 min, the Rate of the TEC Index, the Along Arc TEC Rate index, and the vertical TEC. SIMuRG is an online service at http://simurg.iszf.irk.ru. The system can be used free of charge and allows calculating both maps and series for arbitrary time intervals and geographic regions. All the data products are available in the form of data or figures. We discuss the system and its geophysics applications.

Accuracy assessment of real-time kinematics (RTK) measurements on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) for direct geo-referencing / Desta Ekaso in Geo-spatial Information Science, vol 23 n° 2 (June 2020)  

Public [article]  inGeo-spatial Information Science > vol 23 n° 2 (June 2020) . - pp 165 - 181 Titre : Accuracy assessment of real-time kinematics (RTK) measurements on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) for direct geo-referencing Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Desta Ekaso, Auteur ; Francesco Nex, Auteur ; Norman Kerle, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : pp 165 - 181 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Acquisition d'image(s) et de donnée(s) [Termes descripteurs IGN] aérotriangulation [Termes descripteurs IGN] centrale inertielle [Termes descripteurs IGN] géoréférencement direct [Termes descripteurs IGN] image de drone [Termes descripteurs IGN] instrument embarqué [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes descripteurs IGN] précision du positionnement [Termes descripteurs IGN] récepteur GNSS Résumé : (auteur) Geospatial information acquired with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) provides valuable decision-making support in many different domains, and technological advances coincide with a demand for ever more sophisticated data products. One consequence is a research and development focus on more accurately referenced images and derivatives, which has long been a weakness especially of low to medium cost UAV systems equipped with relatively inexpensive inertial measurement unit (IMU) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers. This research evaluates the positional accuracy of the real-time kinematics (RTK) GNSS on the DJI Matrice 600 Pro, one of the first available and widely used UAVs with potentially surveying-grade performance. Although a very high positional accuracy of the drone itself of 2 to 3 cm is claimed by DJI, the actual accuracy of the drone RTK for positioning the images and for using it for mapping purposes without additional ground control is not known. To begin with, the actual GNSS RTK position of reference center (the physical point on the antenna) on the drone is not indicated, and uncertainty regarding this also exists among the professional user community. In this study the reference center was determined through a set of experiments using the dual frequency static Leica GNSS with RTK capability. The RTK positioning data from the drone were then used for direct georeferencing, and its results were evaluated. Test flights were carried out over a 70 x 70 m area with an altitude of 40 m above the ground, with a ground sampling distance of 1.3 cm. Evaluated against ground control points, the planimetric accuracy of direct georeferencing for the photogrammetric product ranged between 30 and 60 cm. Analysis of direct georeferencing results showed a time delay of up to 0.28 seconds between the drone GNSS RTK and camera image acquisition affecting direct georeferencing results.

Reducing multipath effect of low-cost GNSS receivers for monitoring by considering temporal correlations / Li Zhang in Journal of applied geodesy, vol 14 n° 2 (April 2020)  

Public [article]  inJournal of applied geodesy > vol 14 n° 2 (April 2020) . - pp 167 – 175 Titre : Reducing multipath effect of low-cost GNSS receivers for monitoring by considering temporal correlations Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Li Zhang, Auteur ; Volker Schwieger, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : pp 167 – 175 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] atténuation du signal [Termes descripteurs IGN] corrélation temporelle [Termes descripteurs IGN] coût [Termes descripteurs IGN] itération [Termes descripteurs IGN] ligne de base [Termes descripteurs IGN] oscillation [Termes descripteurs IGN] phase [Termes descripteurs IGN] plan de masse [Termes descripteurs IGN] qualité des données [Termes descripteurs IGN] récepteur GNSS [Termes descripteurs IGN] récepteur monofréquence [Termes descripteurs IGN] réflecteur [Termes descripteurs IGN] source d'erreur [Termes descripteurs IGN] trajet multiple Résumé : (auteur) The investigations on low-cost single frequency GNSS receivers at the Institute of Engineering Geodesy (IIGS) show that u-blox GNSS receivers combined with low-cost antennas and self-constructed L1-optimized choke rings can reach an accuracy which almost meets the requirements of geodetic applications (see Zhang and Schwieger [25]). However, the quality (accuracy and reliability) of low-cost GNSS receiver data should still be improved, particularly in environments with obstructions. The multipath effects are a major error source for the short baselines. The ground plate or the choke ring ground plane can reduce the multipath signals from the horizontal reflector (e. g. ground). However, the shieldings cannot reduce the multipath signals from the vertical reflectors (e. g. walls). Because multipath effects are spatially and temporally correlated, an algorithm is developed for reducing the multipath effect by considering the spatial correlations of the adjoined stations (see Zhang and Schwieger [24]). In this paper, an algorithm based on the temporal correlations will be introduced. The developed algorithm is based on the periodic behavior of the estimated coordinates and not on carrier phase raw data, which is easy to use. Because, for the users, coordinates are more accessible than the raw data. The multipath effect can cause periodic oscillations but the periods change over time. Besides this, the multipath effect’s influence on the coordinates is a mixture of different multipath signals from different satellites and different reflectors. These two properties will be used to reduce the multipath effect. The algorithm runs in two steps and iteratively. Test measurements were carried out in a multipath intensive environment; the accuracies of the measurements are improved by about 50 % and the results can be delivered in near-real-time (in ca. 30 minutes), therefore the algorithm is suitable for structural health monitoring applications.

Absolute field calibration for multi-GNSS receiver antennas at ETH Zurich / Daniel Willi in GPS solutions, vol 24 n° 1 (January 2020)

An industrial robot is used to rotate and tilt the antenna to be calibrated. This procedure ensures good coverage of the antenna hemisphere and reduces systematic errors. The calibration system at ETH Zurich is validated by a direct comparison of the obtained calibrations with calibrations from the anechoic chamber method (University of Bonn) and from another absolute field calibration method (Geo++® GmbH). Calibrations by ETH Zurich agree on the sub-millimeter level with both reference calibrations. A second validation was conducted using real measurements on short baselines. Data were acquired on four stations in direct vicinity and processed using different phase center correction models. The experiment shows that individual corrections of ETH Zurich reduce the residuals in the coordinate domain when compared to type-mean calibrations of the International GNSS Service (IGS). However, residual biases between GPS and Galileo coordinates remain. These biases are efficiently reduced when using the new type-mean calibrations from the IGS that include calibration values for all GNSS, including Galileo. The ETH Zurich calibration system is proven to deliver meaningful calibrations that agree with other calibrations on the millimeter level in the azimuth and elevation domain. The field validation shows evidence that the consistency of the Galileo and GPS calibration should be further enhanced by performing a combined GPS and Galileo analysis, which is not yet implemented.
