Abstract:
GNSS multipath signals widely exist in complex navigation and positioning scenarios such as urban canyons. Although the multipath signal interferes GNSS receiver and reduces positioning accuracy, it provides environment information around the receiver. Based on the coupled amplitude delay locked loops algorithm (CADLL) which senses GNSS multipath signals and extracts feature parameters, a particle filter-based reflection plane parameters estimation algorithm is designed and implemented. The algorithm can enhance the receiver's environment perception in the GNSS multipath environment, the corresponding information can be applied to the fields of scene perception, collision avoidance, path planning and positioning augmentation. GNSS multipath signal recording and algorithm testing are carried out in a static environment. The experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively estimate the position parameters of the reflecting plane. The root mean square error (RMSE) of the azimuth angle of the reflection plane is less than 10 degrees, the RMSE of the elevation angle is less than 5 degrees, and the RMSE of the distance is less than 10 meters.

Finally, the novel method is performed to solve the data of GNSS and marine positioning examples to show its performance, and results show the numerical convergence experiments are performed to show the convergence efficiency improvment.

Abstract:
Wi-Fi channel state information (CSI) contains rich feature information, which enables CSI based fingerprint positioning methods to build higher-dimensional features to improve positioning accuracy. However, the redundant information in the fingerprint features also makes the built-up fingerprint database large in storage, and increasing of the time cost of establishing the positioning model becomes large, and the real-time positioning calculation. In this regard, this paper proposes to use principal component analysis (PCA) method to reduce the dimensionality of the original fingerprint features, and then use the sequential minimal optimization (SMO) algorithm to establish the regression model of the reduced feature and the corresponding position and predict the position. The experimental results show that the algorithm in this paper can effectively overcome the above problems, while the average positioning error is 1.25 m, and the cumulative probability of positioning error within 2 m can reach 97%.

Abstract:
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) tilt-photography technology has become the mainstream of the construction of three-dimensional real-field models with its advantages of low cost, high efficiency and high precision. The accuracy of the real 3D model is affected by many factors. This study is mainly focused on the point of view of the uniformity of the control point distribution, to explore its impact on the accuracy of the real 3D model, and propose a more general measure of control point uniformity. Two experiments with different numbers of control points are designed, and each experiment contains three different uniformity distribution schemes. Aerial images of the experimental area were obtained by UAV, and six schemes were adopted to participate in model. By analyzing the model accuracy, the results show that: the accuracy of the real 3D model is poorer when the uniformity of the control points is lower, and the elevation accuracy is worse than the plane accuracy. Increasing the uniformity of the control points will improve the overall accuracy of the model. The improvement of the uniformity of the control points will improve the accuracy of the model at a lower uniformity; the uniformity of the control points can improve the accuracy of the model at a lower uniformity. The uniformity of the control points can improve the accuracy of the model at a lower uniformity. The uniformity of the control points can improve the accuracy of the real 3D model at a lower uniformity. The uniformity of the control points can be used as an evaluation indicator in the deployment of field control points.

[Abstract](1106) [FullText HTML] (175) [PDF 1093KB](70)

Abstract:
Real-time acquisition of geographic location information of smart mobile terminals is the key to the realization of an augmented reality (AR) real-scene smart navigation system. In order to improve the accuracy of GPS positioning for smart terminals, a GPS combined positioning optimization method based on Kalman filtering and improved DBSCAN clustering algorithm is proposed. Kalman filtering is performed on the position coordinate data collected by the GPS system to remove large data fluctuations and control the positioning error range. Using DBSCAN clustering algorithm for classification denoising and secondary clustering, the arithmetic mean value of the data in the class and the total number of data between the classes are weighted to find the center of gravity, and the position coordinates are determined. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the GPS single-point positioning accuracy, reduce positioning errors, and at the same time well meet the real-time and robustness requirements of the AR real-world intelligent navigation system.

[Abstract](617) [FullText HTML] (283) [PDF 1373KB](42)

Abstract:
The inertial measurement unit (IMU) is disturbed by its own temperature, bias, vibration and other factors, so the pose is easy to diverge when integrating, and the monocular vision positioning accuracy is poor when the robot moves rapidly. Therefore, this paper studies a visual inertial synchronous simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) method based on tight coupling. Firstly, the location problem of visualodometry (VO) is studied. In order to reduce the mismatching of feature points, the feature points extraction method based on Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF (ORB) is adopted. Then the mathematical model of IMU is constructed, and the discrete integral of the motion model is obtained by using the median method. Finally, the pose of monocular vision is aligned with IMU trajectory, and the optimal state estimation of robot motion is obtained by nonlinear optimization based on sliding window. The two experiments were verified by constructing the simulation scene ard comparing with the monocular ORB-SLAM algorithm. The results show that the proposed method is better than visual odometer alone, and the positioning accuracy is controlled at about 0.4 m, which is 30% higher than the traditional tracking model.

[Abstract](496) [FullText HTML] (226) [PDF 1487KB](27)

Abstract:
According to the coordinate time series results of 19 CMONOC reference stations in Gansu Province, the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) was used to explore the optimal noise model of each reference station, the velocity field of the reference station was determined, and the crustal movement in Gansu Province was analyzed. The research results show that the noise characteristics of each coordinate component of the CMONOC reference station in Gansu Province are quite different. "WN+FN" is the optimal noise model, which can better describe the noise characteristics of the three components of the reference station coordinate time series, and The estimated rate uncertainty is 4 to 15 times when only white noise is considered. The average rate of horizontal movement of the CMONOC reference station in Gansu Province under the framework of ITRF14 is 34.54 mm/a and the direction of movement is SEE 98.07°; the average rate of horizontal movement relative to the Eurasian plate is 6.49 mm/a and the direction of movement is NEE 79.23‬°.

Abstract:
With the increasing complexity of modern electromagnetic environment, navigation receiver is at higher risk of various interference. Narrowband interference and pulse interference are common means of suppressing interference on satellite navigation signals. Different interference signals have different time-frequency domain characteristics, and their influence on satellite navigation signals is also very different, which is mainly reflected in the carrier-to-noise ratio and bit error rate. In view of the lack of research on pulse interference performance in China, a formula of anti-interference quality factor suitable for pulse interference is proposed by comparing narrowband interference performance evaluation method. This paper deduces the method of calculating the equivalent carrier-to-noise ratio in time domain under pulse interference, and verifies the result through simulation. The result shows that the calculation error of equivalent carrier-to-noise ratio under pulse interference with different duty ratio is less than 0.5 dB, and the result is quite accurate.

Abstract:
In order to compare and analyze BDS-3/Galileo compatible frequency pseudorange single-point positioning accuracy, based on the measured data of MGEX distributed tracking stations, singal point positioning accuracy of pseudorange combination of dual-system compatible frequencies and non-compatible frequenry of BDS-3 and Galileo are analyzed, together with that of single frequency of BDS-3 and Galileo respectively.

In terms of single system positioning, the single point positioning accuracy of B1C and B2a pseudorange of BDS-3 is better than that of comesponding compatible frequenry of Galileo. In terms of dual-system positioning, the single point positioning accuracy of compatible frequenry pseudorange combination of BDS-3/Galileo is better than that of non-compatible frequenry combination. and the dual-system combination positioning improves the Galileo single-system positioning accuracy better BDS-3, which indicates that the design of BDS-3 compatible frequency effectively improves the compatibility with Galileo system.

Abstract:
For two coordinate reference frames which have no direct conversion parameters, a new method is developed to solve the complex and inefficient problem of traditional multi-step "transition" transformation. This paper takes the coordinates and velocities of 714 stations released by EUREF as an example to convert them from the ETRF2014 to the ETRF2000. The results show that, the coordinate and velocity difference between the traditional method and the method proposed in this paper is in the order of $ {10}^{-8} $ meters and $ {10}^{-9} $ meters per year, respectively. The analysis results verify the feasibility of the calculation method.

Abstract:
The construction of BDS-3 has been completed. At this time, it is very meaningful and necessary to carry out the study and analysis of BDS-3 data quality and positioning performance. Observation data of MGEX stations were used to assess the observation data quality and pseudorange single-point positioning accuracy of BDS-3. Meanwhile, the positioning accuracy of BDS-2 and GPS were compared with BDS-3. The results show that the data integrity rate of BDS-3 at each station is above 95%. The average signal-to-noise ratio of each frequency band is higher than 45 dB·Hz, but signal-to-noise ratio of GEO satellite fluctuates frequently. The average value multipath error of various types of BDS-3 satellites are all less than 35 cm, and the pseudorange noise of most BDS-3 satellites is generally less than 0.3 m. Compared with BDS-2 and BDS-3, the positioning accuracy of BDS-2/BDS-3 has been improved to different extents, but the improvement of BDS-3 positioning accuracy in high latitude areas is very small. BDS-3 can obtain a positioning accuracy better than 3 m and 4 m in horizontal and vertical directions in all regions of the world, which is roughly comparable to GPS positioning performance.

[Abstract](641) [FullText HTML] (175) [PDF 726KB](37)

Abstract:
In view of the difference of period and noise characteristics in different regions, this paper takes the coordinate time series of 27 CORS in Shandong Province from 2015 to 2018 as the research object, and analyzed the period and noise of coordinate components of each station on the basis of data preprocessing. The results show that, there is no strict whole periodic signal in coordinate time series, and the periodic motion in U direction is relatively regular. The spectrum index of coordinate component shows that the noise model of most stations is white noise (WN) + flicker noise (FN). Using the maximum likelihood estimation criterion, the best noise model of coordinate time series in Shandong CORS station is WN + FN, and the best noise model in E and U direction is WN + FN. The best noise model is WN + FN + random walk noise (RWN).

[Abstract](653) [FullText HTML] (356) [PDF 1362KB](30)

Abstract:
Due to the problems of the diversity of the scale, the unclear boundary and the complex spectral information of the ground objects, the performance of the statistical method and machine learning method for the change detection of the high complexity street view images is poor. Therefore, a street view images change detection method combining semantic segmentation model and graph cuts (GC) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the DeeplabV3+ semantic segmentation model combined with migration learning is used to pre-train the Camvid data set to obtain the pre-trained model in this method; Then a small number of annotated samples from the data set of this paper were used to Fine Tune the pre-training model, which was respectively used for semantic segmentation of street view images in two periods. Then GC method is used to remove the sky, roads,vegetation and other factors, which is impacting on the street view. Finally, change vector analysis (CVA) is used to obtain the difference images, and binarization and accuracy evaluation were carried out for the difference images. The results show that the overall accuracy of the proposed method is better than the Otsu method (OTSU), K-means method, Segnet network migration learning method and DeeplabV3+ network migration learning method, it is a feasible method for detecting changes in street view images.
