To mitigate the impact of reflected non-line-of-sight (NLOS) reception, a sky-pointing camera with a deep neural network was employed to exclude these measurements. However, NLOS exclusion results in distorted satellite geometry. To fill this gap, complementarity between the low-lying visual landmarks and the healthy but high-elevation satellite measurements was explored to improve the geometric constraints. Specifically, inertial measurement units, visual landmarks captured by a forward-looking camera, and healthy GNSS measurements were tightly integrated via sliding window optimization to estimate the GNSS-RTK float solution. The integer ambiguities and the fixed GNSS-RTK solution were then resolved. The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified using several challenging data sets collected in urban canyons in Hong Kong.","PeriodicalId":56075,"journal":{"name":"Navigation-Journal of the Institute of Navigation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84574761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show a clear advantage for both SLAC approaches and that the SLAC algorithm with a reduced set of calibration parameters achieves the same performance as the one with a full set of parameters.","PeriodicalId":56075,"journal":{"name":"Navigation-Journal of the Institute of Navigation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88250252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is important that the network has matured through recalibration, and that UTC was once generated with only GPS. This approach covers all types of links, including redundant links and cross links. The uncertainties of non-GPS links depend on the uncertainties of the pivot lab’s GPS system and the other system(s) used in the link. Clock predictions of labs not linked by GPS must be adjusted whenever the pivot lab’s GPS receiver is recalibrated. The resulting uncertainties differ by up to 45% from the results given in a recently published alternative proposal. Aging of the uncertainties leads to a blending of this approach with the current algorithm used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM).","PeriodicalId":56075,"journal":{"name":"Navigation-Journal of the Institute of Navigation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135585744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, because of the atmospheric delays and high measurement noise associated with low-quality patch antennae, the convergence time of smartphone PPP can increase from minutes to even hours. By establishing the Satellite-based Ionospheric Model (SIM) and Real-time Tropospheric Grid Point (RTGP) models, we aim to achieve instantaneous sub-meter level positioning for smartphone PPP. In both kinematic and static experiments, Xiaomi Mi8 and Huawei P40 smartphone signals can converge to sub-meter accuracy in the horizontal direction within one to six seconds when adopting multi-constellation and dual-frequency PPP solutions augmented by precise atmospheric corrections. The atmospheric augmentation PPP method effectively improves the convergence speed and positioning accuracy compared to what can be achieved using the conventional PPP algorithm, thereby satisfying smartphone users’ demand for rapid and high-accuracy positioning.","PeriodicalId":56075,"journal":{"name":"Navigation-Journal of the Institute of Navigation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78654849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
