However, the performance of RTK can degrade in GNSS-hostile areas like urban canyons. The surrounding buildings and trees can reflect and block the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals, obstructing GNSS receivers’ ability to maintain signal tracking and exacerbating the multipath effect. A common method to assist RTK is to couple RTK with the Inertial Navigation System (INS). INS can provide accurate short-term relative positioning results. The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is usually used to couple RTK with INS, whereas the GNSS outlying observations significantly influence the performance. The Robust Kalman Filter (RKF) is developed to offer resilience against outliers. In this study, we design an algorithm to improve the traditional RKF. We begin by implementing the tightly coupled RTK/INS algorithm and the conventional RKF in C++. We also introduce our specific implementation in detail. Then, we test and analyze the performance of our codes on public datasets. Finally, we propose a novel algorithm to improve RKF and test the improvement. We introduce the Carrier-to-Noise Ratio (CNR) to help detect outliers that should be discarded. The results of the tests show that our new algorithm’s accuracy is improved when compared to the traditional RKF. We also open source the majority of our code, as we find there are few open-source projects for coupled RTK/INS in C++. Researchers can access the codes at our GitHub.

However, uncertainties in data quality arise from the fact that some of this data are crowdsourced and proprietary validation workflows lack transparency. Comparing data quality between POI sources without standardized validation metrics is a challenge. This study reviews and implements the available POI validation methods, working towards identifying a set of metrics that is applicable across datasets. Twenty-three validation methods were found and categorized. Most methods evaluated positional accuracy, while logical consistency and usability were the least represented. A subset of nine methods was implemented to assess four real-world POI datasets extracted for a highly urbanized neighborhood in Singapore. The datasets were found to have poor completeness with errors of commission and omission, although spatial errors were reasonably low ( Numéro de notice : A2021-830 Affiliation des auteurs : non IGN Thématique : GEOMATIQUE Nature : Article nature-HAL : ArtAvecCL-RevueIntern DOI : 10.3390/ijgi10110735 Date de publication en ligne : 29/10/2021 En ligne : https://doi.org/10.3390/ijgi10110735 Format de la ressource électronique : URL article Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=98968 [article]

Real-time GNSS precise point positioning using improved robust adaptive Kalman filter / Abdelsatar Elmezayen in Survey review, Vol 53 n° 381 (November 2021)  

Public [article]  inSurvey review > Vol 53 n° 381 (November 2021) . - pp 528 - 542 Titre : Real-time GNSS precise point positioning using improved robust adaptive Kalman filter Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Abdelsatar Elmezayen, Auteur ; Ahmed El-Rabbany, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 528 - 542 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] erreur de positionnement [Termes IGN] filtre adaptatif [Termes IGN] filtre de Kalman [Termes IGN] phase [Termes IGN] positionnement par Galileo [Termes IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] temps réel [Termes IGN] valeur aberrante Résumé : (Auteur) Multi-constellation GNSS precise point positioning (PPP) typically uses the extended Kalman filter (EKF) for kinematic applications. Unfortunately, the obtained positioning accuracy in this approach is prone to errors caused by measurement outliers and the system’s dynamic model. An adaptive robust Kalman filter (RKF) was recently developed to mitigate these errors. However, RKF uses empirical values as detection thresholds for the outliers, which requires the measurements to be from the same constellation and of equal precision to obtain an optimal PPP solution. The classification robust adaptive Kalman filter (CAKF) has subsequently been developed to deal with measurements of different precisions, namely pseudorange and carrier-phase measurements. This paper proposes a real-time GPS/Galileo PPP system, which employs a modified version of CAKF called the Improved Robust adaptive Kalman Filter (IRKF). The positioning performance of GPS/Galileo PPP through the IRKF is initially verified in comparison with those obtained through the EKF, RKF, and CAKF using the Centre for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE) final orbit and clock products in both of static and kinematic modes. The real-time GPS/Galileo PPP solution through the IRKF is then assessed in comparison with its near-real-time counterpart. The results indicate that when the IRKF approach is utilised, the positioning accuracy is significantly improved and the convergence behaviour is enhanced compared with results from EKF, conventional RKF, and CAKF. In the real-time mode, centimeter-level horizontal positioning accuracy is achieved under an open sky environment, while decimeter-level horizontal positioning accuracy is achieved under a challenging environment. On the other hand, decimeter-level accuracy is achieved for the vertical positioning component under all environmental scenarios. Moreover, the positioning accuracy of the real-time solution is comparable to the near-real-time counterpart.

Mitigating high latitude ionospheric scintillation effects on GNSS Precise Point Positioning exploiting 1-s scintillation indices / Kai Guo in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 3 (March 2021)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 95 n° 3 (March 2021) . - n° 30 Titre : Mitigating high latitude ionospheric scintillation effects on GNSS Precise Point Positioning exploiting 1-s scintillation indices Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Kai Guo, Auteur ; Sreeja Vadakke Veettil, Auteur ; Brian Jerald Weaver, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 30 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] Antarctique [Termes IGN] atténuation du signal [Termes IGN] Canada [Termes IGN] erreur de positionnement [Termes IGN] latitude [Termes IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] récepteur GNSS [Termes IGN] scintillation [Termes IGN] tempête magnétique Résumé : (auteur) Ionospheric scintillation refers to rapid and random fluctuations in radio frequency signal intensity and phase, which occurs more frequently and severely at high latitudes under strong solar and geomagnetic activity. As one of the most challenging error sources affecting Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), scintillation can significantly degrade the performance of GNSS receivers, thereby leading to increased positioning errors. This study analyzes Global Positioning System (GPS) scintillation data recorded by two ionospheric scintillation monitoring receivers operational, respectively, in the Arctic and northern Canada during a geomagnetic storm in 2019. A novel approach is proposed to calculate 1-s scintillation indices. The 1-s receiver tracking error variances are then estimated, which are further used to mitigate the high latitude scintillation effects on GPS Precise Point Positioning. Results show that the 1-s scintillation indices can describe the signal fluctuations under scintillation more accurately. With the mitigation approach, the 3D positioning error is greatly reduced under scintillation analyzed in this study. Additionally, the 1-s tracking error variance achieves a better performance in scintillation mitigation compared with the previous approach which exploits 1-min tracking error variance estimated by the commonly used 1-min scintillation indices. This work is relevant for a better understanding of the high latitude scintillation effects on GNSS and is also beneficial for developing scintillation mitigation tools for GNSS positioning.
