According to different orders of Lagrange interpolator and different IGS Analysis Centers (ACs) products of Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE), GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ) and Wuhan University (WUH), biases at the day boundaries are estimated and analyzed using a 4-day (DOY 94-97, 2022) data set of GPS, BDS-3 and Galileo from 123 IGS stations. These estimated biases show the time-varying characteristics. The differences in biases across 9th-11th orders of Lagrange interpolator are minimal, and these variances have a negligible impact on positioning. The results show that this poor self-consistency at the day boundary has an obvious influence on the kinematic PPP positioning, especially there is a centimeter-level variation at time of 24:00:00/00:00:00. This influence on the Up direction of kinematic PPP positioning is more serious than other directions. When the bias is estimated and corrected, the kinematic PPP positioning accuracies at the day boundary have a mean improvement of 0.043, 0.064 and 0.027m for WUH, GFZ and CODE, respectively. The mean improvements for GPS, BDS-3 and Galileo are 0.021, 0.062 and 0.051m. Additionally, the static PPP performances at the day boundary show the convergence times are shortened by 3.2, 6.2, and 2.5 minutes for WUH, GFZ and CODE, respectively, when the poor self-consistency of the satellite clock and orbit interpolations is estimated and corrected. Meanwhile, its 0.5 and 1 hour positioning accuracies are improved.","PeriodicalId":18526,"journal":{"name":"Measurement Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141685178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, a tracking error dynamics model considering multi-channel uncertain disturbances is constructed, based on which a model predictive controller is designed to obtain the nominal front wheel steering angle by the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) condition. Furthermore, the dual-stage disturbance observer is designed to enable real-time estimation of the system disturbances, and then the estimated disturbances are used as the compensation for the nominal front wheel steering angle, which establishes the MPC control law with parallel compensation of the dual-stage disturbance observer. Finally, the error boundedness of the dual-stage disturbance observer and the global stability of the model predictive controller are analyzed.

Three representative factors, namely the real-time kinematic (RTK) mode, flight altitude, and the number of ground control points (GCPs) were selected to analyze their impact on UAV aerial photogrammetry accuracy. Four flight altitude tests were conducted separately in two RTK modes, and five GCP layout schemes were designed. Based on this, the root mean square error (RMSE) values of 40 aerial photogrammetric results were analyzed. The results showed a significant correlation between flight altitude and resolution of the UAV aerial photogrammetric results. Further, conversion formulas between actual image resolution and flight altitude for different GCP values were also derived in RTK and non-RTK modes. In the case of precise positioning, the horizontal and vertical accuracy of the aerial photogrammetric image decreased with increasing flight altitude. Under the same flight altitude, the addition or no addition of GCPs, including changes in GCP numbers, had no significant effect on improving the accuracy of aerial photogrammetry in RTK mode. However, in non-RTK mode, the number of GCPs significantly affected accuracy. The horizontal and vertical RMSE values decreased rapidly with the increase in GCP numbers and then stabilized. However, regardless of whether RTK was activated, an excessive number of GCPs was not conducive to improving the accuracy of aerial photogrammetric results. The mapping accuracy of UAVs in RTK mode without GCPs was equivalent to that in non-RTK mode with GCPs. Therefore, when using RTK-UAVs, deploying GCPs is unnecessary under suitable circumstances.

Despite the good performance of traditional SLAM algorithms in static environments, dynamic objects typically exist in realistic operating environments. These objects can lead to misassociated features, which in turn considerably impact the system’s localization accuracy and robustness. To better address this challenge, we have proposed the OMS-SLAM. In OMS-SLAM, we adopted the YOLOv8 target detection network to extract object information from environment and designed a dynamic probability propagation model that is coupled with target detection and multiple geometric constrains to determine the dynamic objects in the environment. For the identified dynamic objects, we have designed a foreground image segmentation algorithm based on depth image histogram statistics to extract the object contours and eliminate the feature points within these contours. We then use the GMS (Grid-based Motion Statistics) matching pair as the filtering strategy to enhance the quality of the feature points and use the enhanced feature points for tracking. This combined method can accurately identify dynamic objects and extract related feature points, significantly reducing its interference and consequently enhancing the system's robustness and localization accuracy. We also built static dense point cloud maps to support advanced tasks of robots. Finally, through testing on the high-speed dataset of TUM RGB-D, it was found that the root mean square error of the Absolute Trajectory Error (ATE) in this study decreased by an average of 97.10%, compared to ORB-SLAM2.

Since the fingerprint positioning methods based on received signal strength difference (RSSD) can adapt to the diversity of transmitting power and frequency, RSSD has become a popular scheme for locating the unknown radio transmitter. However, the RSSD is obtained by subtracting the RSS from two different access points (APs), so the interference of noise on the RSS is inherited and amplified by the RSSD. Besides, the need for more APs to ensure positioning accuracy leads to an increase in hardware costs. In this paper, a RSSD-based fuzzy weight grey correlation degree positioning algorithm, called FUZZY-GREY, is proposed to reduce the interference of noise, save AP hardware cost and improve the positioning accuracy. Firstly, online RSSD vector is improved by using fuzzy weight to reduce the noise interference. Secondly, the RSSD-based grey correlation coefficient is designed to calculate the correlation degree of the corresponding RSSD and ensure data integrity. Finally, a RSSD-based grey correlation degree scheme combining with fuzzy weight is proposed to select optimal reference points (RPs).
