This study assesses the interrelationship between land surface temperature (LST), normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), normalized difference built-up index (NDBI), and land cover change in Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos State, Nigeria. Multi-temporal and multi-spectral Landsat imageries for years 2002, 2013, 2016, and 2019 served as the primary dataset. Using the parallelepiped classifier, the imageries were classified into five land cover classes — mixed vegetation, bare land, built-up area, water body, and wetland. The spectral indices (NDVI and NDBI) were computed and the LST was determined using a single-channel algorithm. Land cover transition matrices were calculated to examine the proportion of land cover change between classes, including the unchanged areas. Pearson’s correlation analysis enabled an analysis of the interdependence or interrelationship in the distribution of the parameters. From 2002 to 2019, the highest land cover transitions recorded were bare land to built-up area (12.64 km2), mixed vegetation to built-up area (21.55 km2), wetland to mixed vegetation (8.87 km2), and mixed vegetation to bare land (8.46 km2). There was a negative correlation between LST and NDVI, and between NDVI and NDBI. The distribution of the LST, NDVI, and NDBI varied correspondingly in accordance with land cover changes. The increase in built-up area could be the major driver of the observed changes in LST, NDBI, and NDVI, with an observed relationship that NDBI and LST values increase with increase in built-up areas.

GNSS/INS Kalman filter integrity monitoring with uncertain time correlated error processes / Omar Garcia Crespillo (2022)

Over the last decade, significant effort has been put to guarantee a bounded position estimation by using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) by means of satellite-based or ground-based augmentation systems (SBAS, GBAS) and Advanced Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (ARAIM) for aviation. This has been achieved by carefully designing models that overbound the different residual error components in range measurements (e.g., satellite clock and orbit, tropospheric and multipath among others). On the other hand, and as part of Aircraft based Augmentation Systems (ABAS), the use of Inertial Reference Systems (IRS) has been traditionally included as additional source of redundant navigation information. More recently, the use of Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) with a wider spectrum of possible inertial sensor qualities in tighter integration with single-frequency GNSS has seen its way in a new Minimum Operational Performance Standard (MOPS). New GNSS/INS systems and standards could still benefit from the methodologies and aspects developed for future dual-frequency/multiconstellation GNSS standards. However, safety-related GNSS systems like ARAIM are snapshot-based, that is, the position estimation is performed independently at every epoch, whereas GNSS/INS systems are typically based on Kalman filtering (KF). Therefore, the existing error overbounding models and methodologies are not enough to produce a robust KF position estimation since the impact of time-correlation in measurements must also be accounted for. Moreover, it has been observed that the time-correlation of different GNSS errors presents also some level of uncertain behavior, which makes very challenging for linear dynamic systems to produce a guaranteed solution. As proposed by GNSS Minimum Operational Performance Standards (MOPS), there are sources of time-correlated errors that can be well modelled using a first order Gauss-Markov process (GMP). Using this GMP parametric model, it is possible to capture the uncertain timecorrelated nature of error processes by allowing the variance and time correlation constant of the GMP model to be in a bounded range. Under this situation, the first part of this thesis studies the propagation of the uncertain models through the Kalman filter estimation and provides new theoretical tools in time and frequency domain to bound the KF error estimation covariance. As a result, tight stationary bounding models on the GMP uncertain processes are derived in both continuous and discrete time domain. This is extended to non-stationary models that provide tighter error bounding during an initial transient phase when measurements are first introduced (which will be relevant in scenarios with changing number of visible satellites). The new models can very easily be used during the KF implementation which might be very attractive by regulators and designers. In the second part of the thesis, the new overbounding GMP models are applied for a dual-frequency GPS-Galileo tightly-coupled GNSS/INS integration. The design of the filter and of error models is performed following compatibility with current aviation standards and ARAIM Working Group C results. The impact of the use of the new models is analysed in terms of conservativeness, integrity and continuity based on realistic operational simulations linked to airport runways. The benefit of an overbounded GNSS/INS solution is also compared with the current baseline ARAIM algorithm solution. This thesis supports the evolution of safe GNSS-based positioning systems from only snapshot based to filtered solutions. Ensuring integrity for Kalman filter in general and for GNSS/INS systems in particular is a game changer to achieve higher performance levels for future dualfrequency multi-constellation aviation services and is of vital importance for new ground and air applications like autonomous vehicles or urban air mobility.

The main limitations are encountered in the urban canyons, consisting in a reduced satellite signal availability and a positioning estimation error due to the impact of Line-of-Sight and Non Line-of-Sight multipath phenomenon. This PhD study allows to understand the impact of the multipath phenomenon on the low-cost GNSS receivers and to prove the need of accurate assessment of the multipath error model affecting the GNSS measurements, especially in urban environment. It consists in the investigation, characterization, and finally, exploitation of the multipath error components affecting the pseudorange and pseudorange-rate measurements, of a single frequency, dual constellation GNSS receiver in the urban environment, operating with GPS L1 C/A and Galileo E1 OS signals. The first goal consists in providing a set of methodologies able to identify, isolate and characterize the multipath error components from the measurements under test. However, considering that the isolation of the multipath error is a complex operation due to the superimposed effects of multipath and thermal noise, the final method consists of isolating the joint contribution of multipath and thermal noise components. The isolated multipath and thermal noise error components are firstly classified depending the corresponding received signal /0 values, and, secondly, statistically characterized by means of Probability Density Function, sample mean and sample variance. Also, the temporal and spatial correlation properties of the isolated error components are calculated by means of a methodology which estimates the temporal correlations as a function of the receiver speed. In addition, an image processing methodology based on the application of a sky-facing fish-eye camera provides the determination of an empirical /0 threshold equal to 35 dB-Hz used to qualitatively identify the Non Line- Of-Sight and Line-Of-Sight received signal reception states. The resulting errors are characterized by a nonsymmetrical, positive biased PDF for a /0 lower than 35 dBHz, while they are characterized by a symmetrical and zero-centred PDF for a /0 higher than 35 dB-Hz. Correlation times for pseudoranges are ranged from around 5s for static and very low speed dynamics to around 1s for high-speed dynamics. Correlation times for pseudorange-rates ranged from around 0.5s for static and very low speed dynamics to around 0.2s for high-speed dynamics, due to the data-rate limitations. The second goal consists in exploiting the multipath and thermal noise error models and the LOS/NLOS received signal reception state estimation in a low-complex EKF-based architecture to improve the accuracy of the PVT estimates. This is obtained by implementing some techniques based on the measurement weighting approach to take into account the statistical properties of the error under exam and by the application of a time differenced architecture design to exploit the temporal correlation properties. Positioning performance of the tested solutions surpassed the performances of a simple EKF architecture and are comparable to the performances of a uBlox M8T receiver.

Sentinel-1 sensitivity to soil moisture at high incidence angle and the impact on retrieval over seasonal crops / Davide Palmisano in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, Vol 59 n° 9 (September 2021)

Still, the interplay among the scattering mechanisms taking place at such a high incidence and their implications on the backscatter information content is often disregarded. This article investigates, through an experimental and numerical study, the S-1 sensitivity to the surface soil moisture (SSM) over agricultural fields observed at low (~33°) and high (~43°) incidence angles and quantifies the impact of the incidence angle on the SSM retrieval accuracy. The study sites are the Apulian Tavoliere (Italy) and REd de MEDición de la HUmedad del Suelo (REMEDHUS) (Spain), which are both instrumented with a hydrologic network continuously measuring SSM. At low incidence angles, results confirm that for crops such as wheat and barley, dominated in C-band by surface scattering, there exists a good sensitivity of S-1 VV to SSM. At high incidence angles, the sensitivity to SSM holds through the combination of the soil attenuated and double bounce scattering. Conversely, over crops dominated by volume scattering, such as sugar beet, the S-1 VV signal is not correlated with the in situ SSM observations, neither at low nor at high incidence. For all the crops, the sensitivity of S-1 to SSM in VH is found significantly lower than in VV. The impact of the incidence angle on the SSM retrieval has been studied with a recursive algorithm based on a short-term change detection approach. An upper and lower bounds for the worsening of the S-1 VV retrieval performance at far versus near range observations have been estimated. In the worst-case scenario, the root mean square error (RMSE) increases from ~0.056 m 3 /m 3 , at low incidence, to ~0.071 m 3 /m 3 , at high incidence. The mechanism that lowers the retrieval accuracy at high incidence angles is further investigated in the synthetic experiment and its impact on the RMSE is estimated in terms of the volume scattering contribution.

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 IGN] atténuation du signal [Termes IGN] corrélation temporelle [Termes IGN] coût [Termes IGN] itération [Termes IGN] ligne de base [Termes IGN] oscillation [Termes IGN] phase [Termes IGN] plan de masse [Termes IGN] qualité des données [Termes IGN] récepteur GNSS [Termes IGN] récepteur monofréquence [Termes IGN] réflecteur [Termes IGN] source d'erreur [Termes 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.
