The current PolCal process requires at least one trihedral CR to determine the co-pol CI. However, the deployment of ground CRs is costly and may even be impossible in some areas. To calibrate a polarimetric image without CRs, our proposed method automatically extracts the volume-dominated and Bragg-like pixels as a reference to estimate the crosstalk, x-pol, and co-pol CI values. Then, a first-order polynomial model is exploited to fit the co-pol CI to further improve calibration accuracy. In the experimental section, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method with data from two of China’s newly developed very high-resolution systems. The experiments confirmed that the proposed workflow can be considered as a feasible calibration scheme when the ground deployment of CRs is impossible, and it is also an effective analysis tool for the assessment of calibrated products.

In order to gain the accuracy of the aided INS/GNSS in GNSS gap intervals, a heuristic neural network structure based on the recurrent fuzzy wavelet neural network (RFWNN) is applicable for INS velocity and position error compensation purpose. During frequent access to GNSS data, the RFWNN should be trained as a highly precise prediction model equipped with the Kalman filter algorithm. Therefore, the INS velocity and position error data are obtainable along with the lost intervals of GNSS signals. For performance assessment of the proposed RFWNN-aided INS/GNSS, real flight test data of a small commercial unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) were conducted. A comparison of test results shows that the proposed NN algorithm could efficiently provide high-accuracy corrections on the INS velocity and position information during GNSS outages.

Low-frequency desert noise intelligent suppression in seismic data based on multiscale geometric analysis convolutional neural network / Yuxing Zhao in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 58 n° 1 (January 2020)

For the desert noise that shares the same frequency band with the effective signal and has complex characteristics (nonlinear, nonstationary, and non-Gaussian), it is difficult to find a universally applicable method. In response to this problem, a multiscale geometric analysis (MGA) convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed in this article. One of the most important features of the CNN is that it can extract data-rich intrinsic information from the training set without relying on a priori assumption. By introducing the CNN into the MGA, a new kind of denoising method can be created, which can achieve good results even under a low SNR. This article takes the nonsubsampled contourlet transform as an example to create a denoising network named NC-CNN for high-efficiency and intelligent denoising of desert seismic data. The processing results of synthetic seismic records and field seismic records prove that NC-CNN can effectively suppress the low-frequency noise (random noise and surface wave), and the effective signal almost has no energy loss. In addition, the reconstruction ability of the missing signals is also an advantage of this method.

Kalman-filter-based undifferenced cycle slip estimation in real-time precise point positioning / Pan Li in GPS solutions, vol 23 n° 4 (October 2019)

Precisely correcting cycle slips caused by signal interruptions is crucial for recovering the data continuity. Most of the existing approaches usually employ only data of one epoch after the interruption for real-time cycle slip processing. In this study, we propose to introduce and estimate cycle slip parameters together with standard PPP parameters, such as position, ionospheric delay, and ambiguities in the case that possible cycle slips are detected, using a Kalman-filter-based procedure with the undifferenced and uncombined PPP model. The integer search strategy is used to fix cycle slips. To reduce the probability of wrong integer fixing, a strict integer validation threshold is suggested. As a result, it is not easy to fix all cycle slips with only one epoch of data. Our approach can be easily extended to use multi-epoch observations to enhance the cycle slip estimation. Once the cycle slips are correctly determined, continuous PPP can be achieved instantaneously. This new approach is tested and validated with three groups of experiments using GPS and GLONASS stations operated by the International GNSS Service from DOY 1–10, 2017, and a real vehicle kinematic data. Numerous experimental results showed that the proposed method can correctly fix the cycle slips for more than 99.5% of epochs suffering from re-convergence. On average, this method takes observation information from about 1.5–2.5 epochs to fix cycle slips and realize rapid re-convergence. Consequently, positioning performance is significantly improved.

Maintaining real-time precise point positioning during outages of orbit and clock corrections / Ahmed El-Mowafy in GPS solutions, vol 21 n° 3 (July 2017)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 21 n° 3 (July 2017) . - pp 937 – 947 Titre : Maintaining real-time precise point positioning during outages of orbit and clock corrections Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Ahmed El-Mowafy, Auteur ; Manoj Deo, Auteur ; Nobuaki Kubo, Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : pp 937 – 947 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] horloge [Termes descripteurs IGN] International GNSS Service [Termes descripteurs IGN] international GPS service for geodynamics [Termes descripteurs IGN] interruption du signal [Termes descripteurs IGN] orbitographie [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes descripteurs IGN] précision décimétrique [Termes descripteurs IGN] prévision Résumé : (auteur) The precise point positioning (PPP) is a popular positioning technique that is dependent on the use of precise orbits and clock corrections. One serious problem for real-time PPP applications such as natural hazard early warning systems and hydrographic surveying is when a sudden communication break takes place resulting in a discontinuity in receiving these orbit and clock corrections for a period that may extend from a few minutes to hours. A method is presented to maintain real-time PPP with 3D accuracy less than a decimeter when such a break takes place. We focus on the open-access International GNSS Service (IGS) real-time service (RTS) products and propose predicting the precise orbit and clock corrections as time series. For a short corrections outage of a few minutes, we predict the IGS-RTS orbits using a high-order polynomial, and for longer outages up to 3 h, the most recent IGS ultra-rapid orbits are used. The IGS-RTS clock corrections are predicted using a second-order polynomial and sinusoidal terms. The model parameters are estimated sequentially using a sliding time window such that they are available when needed. The prediction model of the clock correction is built based on the analysis of their properties, including their temporal behavior and stability. Evaluation of the proposed method in static and kinematic testing shows that positioning precision of less than 10 cm can be maintained for up to 2 h after the break. When PPP re-initialization is needed during the break, the solution convergence time increases; however, positioning precision remains less than a decimeter after convergence.
