As a consequence, discrepancies arise between the ambiguity variance–covariance matrix of the PPP float solution and the precision of the real-valued ambiguities after UPD correction. To address this issue, we investigate the effect of incorporating UPD uncertainty into PPP-AR and implement an ambiguity-domain scheme that uses this uncertainty to assist integer ambiguity resolution. The satellite UPD residuals were used to represent the uncertainty of satellite UPD and improve the performance of PPP-AR. Experiments were conducted using data collected over a 14-day period from 122 reference stations distributed across China. The results demonstrate that accounting for UPD uncertainty can significantly enhance PPP-AR performance. In certain epochs, by incorporating UPD uncertainty, vertical positioning errors were reduced from over 15 cm to approximately 1 cm, while horizontal positioning errors decreased from decimeter-level to 1.2 cm. During ionospheric active periods, the new method also notably shortened the convergence time of PPP-AR. Under 0, 10, and 20 s delays in receiving real-time satellite orbit and clock offset products, the application of the UPD uncertainty reduced the convergence time in the vertical direction by 9.54 %, 10.97 %, and 13.58 %, respectively.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18349,"journal":{"name":"Measurement","volume":"258 ","pages":"Article 119165"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145270169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On industrial robots, the speed reducers often operate under the non-stationary conditions. The intensity and frequency components of the acoustic signals emitted by speed reducer change. Due to the complexity of the contacts inside the speed reducer and the uncertainty of the sound propagation path outside the reducer, the harmonic components in the acoustic signal are non-stationary and the energy is discontinuous. Therefore, a method combining time–frequency representation, Vold-Kalman filter and slice delay-and-sum beamforming is proposed to localize the sound source of reducers with time–frequency energy discontinuity under non-stationary operating conditions. Firstly, the parametric resampled time–frequency representations of each microphone signal are obtained and aggregated after standardization. Next, time–frequency ridges are extracted from the aggregated time–frequency representation and used as frequency vectors to reconstruct the time-domain signals of each microphone at different orders through the Vold-Kalman filter. Finally, the sound source localization maps of each order are calculated by the slice delay-and-sum beamforming method and all the order localization maps within the same slice are aggregated after standardization to improve localization accuracy. Standardization aggregation fuses the features of time–frequency representations of signals from different channels, improves the continuity of the time–frequency energy distribution, and provides a high-resolution time–frequency representation for accurate extraction of order signals. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by numerical simulations of non-stationary sound sources and localization experiment on industrial robot joint.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18349,"journal":{"name":"Measurement","volume":"258 ","pages":"Article 119153"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145222271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conventional fault detection and exclusion (FDE) method ignores the correlation among observations, and the RTK double differences (DD) model results in a high degree of correlation between test statistics. This may lead to contamination effects that adversely impact the accuracy of fault identification. This study proposes an adaptive FDE method that combines correlation coefficients weighted based on observation-domain correction (CWOD-FDE) for landslide monitoring. Unlike conventional satellite-by-satellite exclusion, our method classifies faults by observation type to preserve redundancy, introducing a maximum fault mode constraint and correlation-based weighting with observation coefficients to suppress contamination and improve detection reliability. Experimental results based on real landslide monitoring data indicate that the proposed CWOD-FDE method reduces the fault anomaly rate from approximately 50 % to 10 %, effectively minimizing false alarms and the erroneous exclusion of valid observations. The number of usable carrier-phase observations increased from 18 to 20, enhancing the redundancy of observation. In terms of positioning accuracy, the root mean square error (RMSE) in the East, North, and Up directions are 0.037 m, 0.031 m, and 0.058 m, respectively, representing improvements of 89.5 %, 91.3 %, and 92.4 % compared to extended Kalman Filter (EKF) positioning, and 74.5 %, 91.9 %, and 88.3 % compared to traditional FDE method.

Particularly noteworthy are supervised learning paradigms such as random forests, support vector machines, and deep neural networks, which have demonstrated immense success in pollutant forecasting, anomaly detection, and low-cost sensor array calibration. Deep learning architectures, e.g., convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), have also enabled high-accuracy spatiotemporal estimation, with the capability to capture nuanced environmental dynamics at increased spatial and temporal resolutions.
