LI Song, TANG Xiaomei, SUN Pengyue, ZHANG Ke, WANG Feixue

2020, 45(4): 1-8. doi: 10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2020.04.001

Abstract:
In real application, the measurement noise is easily affected by gross errors and becomes nonGaussian distribution, resulting in the performance of the traditional Kalman filter (KF) being degraded significantly. In order to deal with this problem, the maximum correntropy Kalman filter (MCKF) is proposed based on the maximum correntropy criterion (MCC) and M-estimation. Compared with KF, the proposed filter can assign less weight to the abnormal measurements to reduce its influence on the state estimation, and compared with the Huber-based Kalman filter (HKF), it can make more effective use of measurement information, thereby the proposed filter is more robust. The tightly coupled GNSS／INS (global navigation satellite system／inertial navigation system) carmounted experiments were carried out to verify the performance of the proposed filter. The results show that the KF and HKF achieve bad estimation accuracy due to the poor quality of the original measurements of the GNSS such as the pseudorange and pseudorange rate. And the proposed MCKF can effectively suppress the influence of abnormal measurements, resulting in faster convergence and higher estimation accuracy than existing filters.

Abstract:
With the development of GNSS and Internet of things technology, multi mode receiver has been used more and more widely. As the first step of signal processing in the receiver, signal acquisition ability directly affects the overall performance of the receiver. In this paper, an optimization method is proposed to solve the problems such as poor FFT algorithm compatibility, long operation time and large resource occupation encountered in the design of the capture module of multi mode receiver. The method is designed by adding intercept operation, module reuse and pipeline structure to solve the above problems. The simulation analysis and hardware implementation show that this method has obvious improvement in resource occupation, operation time and compatibility.

[Abstract](1080) [PDF 878KB](131)

Abstract:
To enhance the compatibility and interoperability among GNSSs, it is necessary to monitor system time offset among GNSSs. At present, the main method of GNSS time offset monitoring is Signal-in-Space Reception method. Because of the FDMA technique, GLONASS satellites have different signal frequencies. It leads to IFBs for both pseudorange and carrier phase observations. The GLONASS IFBs will influence the GNSS-GLONASS system time offset monitoring. To reduce the impact of GLONASS IFBs, this paper proposes a method of GNSS time offset monitoring with GLONASS IFBs estimated. The simulation result indicates the accuracy of GPS-GLONASS time offset can be improved by more than 90％ on average.

Abstract:
Global Navigation Satellite System is widely used because of its wide coverage and low cost. However, due to the use of MEO,IGSO and GEO satellites, the signal landing power is low and susceptible to interference.

[Abstract](273) [PDF 1078KB](35)

Abstract:
Considering that the development of navigation application service requirements for the combination of indoor and outdoor scenes and the problems of low recognition stability and the low recognition accuracy of existing indoor and outdoor scenes perception methods, this paper proposes a robust sensing algorithm for indoor and outdoor scenes based on signal of opportunity. The signal of opportunity is used to reduce the single signal recognition error. In order to improve the classification accuracy of the traditional AdaBoost algorithm for imbalanced data sets, the Probabilistic Neural Network(PNN) is used as the training weak classifier, and the entropy weight method is introduced to modify the weight of the weak classifier generated by iteration to improve the classification accuracy of the strong classifier. Experimental verification in real scenarios shows that the algorithm in this paper performs best in indoor and outdoor scene perception using signal of opportunity: WiFi signal, available GNSS stars, and light intensity in indoor and outdoor environments. For scenes switching in different angle directions, the recognition accuracy of 98％ can be achieved with a false alarm rate of only 1.7％, which verifies the accuracy and robustness of the algorithm proposed in this paper.

2020, 45(4): 72-75. doi: 10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2020.04.011

[Abstract](348) [PDF 485KB](69)

Abstract:
Indoor and outdoor seamless positioning is divided into two independent parts: indoor positioning and outdoor positioning. Indoor positioning usually selects (0,0,0) as the coordinate of the initial geomagnetic point, but this coordinate will be changed with the change of the experimenter or the change of the experimental site, which is not universal. Although GNSS cannot be positioned indoors, the geocentric fixed coordinates located outdoors with GNSS are unique and do not change. In this paper, the geocentric solid coordinate point of GNSS seamless positioning transition point indoors and outdoors is selected as the initial point. Geocentric solid is also used in the indoor positioning coordinate system, which can effectively solve the coordinate compatibility problem of seamless positioning indoors and outdoors and has a broader role.

[Abstract](397) [PDF 547KB](59)

Abstract:
Global navigation satellite reflection system (GNSS-R) is of great significance for the extraction and research of accurate information of ocean surface topography. In this paper, two specular reflection point search algorithms are proposed for the accuracy of specular point search. Firstly, based on the analysis of the basic reflection relation, a search algorithm based on Fibonacci method is proposed, and its superiority over the golden section method is proved from the perspective of number theory. Secondly, a method based on extreme derivative is proposed to establish the distance and function of the variable K, which omits the iterative process in the traditional method. Finally, GNSS satellite and receiver coordinates are generated by navigation simulator, and MATLAB is used for simulation. The simulation results show that the Fibonacci method is better than the Golden Section, and the extreme derivative method can calculate the position information of the specular reflection point, and the traditional iterative step is abandoned.

2020, 45(4): 89-94. doi: 10.13442/j.gnss.1008-9268.2020.04.014

[Abstract](283) [PDF 794KB](40)

Abstract:
Aiming at the problem that the time exposure error of image acquisition is not uniform due to the unstable flight speed of UAV photography, a large-scale image free control method for UAV is proposed. First of all, this paper discusses the analysis of the camera lens distortion error model and the problem that the exposure of UAV is not synchronized due to the exposure delay. Then, the exposure delay model is introduced into the traditional GPS auxiliary beam method adjustment model, and a GPS auxiliary beam method adjustment method with the exposure delay is proposed. Finally, the effectiveness of this method is verified by an engineering example. The experimental results show that this method can be used in the UAV when the control point is involved, thus it can meet the accuracy requirement of 1∶500 large scale mapping.

[Abstract](364) [PDF 617KB](37)

Abstract:
In order to speed up the time-consuming computation of satellite position and velocity in the process of satellite navigation and positioning, a piecewise Hermite interpolation method for BDS-3 receiver is proposed. This method first derives the velocity and acceleration formulas of BDS-3 satellite, and then constructs a piecewise cubic Hermite interpolation polynomial of satellite position and velocity, respectively. The proposed method improves the satellite velocity interpolation accuracy without increasing the computational complexity, and the formula is simple and easy to program. The selfdeveloped receiver of our company was used to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method, compared with Hermite interpolation,piecewise cubic Hermite interpolation and piecewise quintic Hermite interpolation.

[Abstract](523) [PDF 933KB](73)

Abstract:
At present, the research on the acquisition of new signals with pilot channel mainly focused on the design of joint acquisition algorithms, which can increase power utilization so as to improve receiving performance. These algorithms can be divided into two categories: equal length and unequal length coherent integration joint algorithms. For BDS B1C signal, this paper analyzed the weighting problem of three equal length coherent integral joint algorithms, and the relationship between coherent and differential joint algorithm is explained. The theoretical and simulation results show that the coherent joint algorithm has better performance. Furthermore, the design scheme of acquisition parameters is proposed based on the theory of optimal coherent integration time. The performance of the equal and unequal length coherent integration algorithm is compared under different conditions, and the optimal strategy for acquiring B1C signal is given.

[Abstract](412) [PDF 537KB](61)

Abstract:
Aiming at the positioning performance of BDS-3 in the Arctic region, based on the METG station and SOD3 station, this paper analyzes the visible satellite number, PDOP value, single-frequency and dual-frequency pseudorange，and single-point positioning accuracy of the BDS-3 in the Arctic region. After research, it was found that the visible number of the BDS-3 satellites and the PDOP value in the Arctic region are consistent with that of the GPS satellites. The pseudo-range accuracy of the single point positioning accuracy of the B1I frequency and the B3I frequency is slightly worse than that L1 frequency of the GPS satellite. The accuracy of the pseudo-range single-point positioning of the B1I／B3I frequency combination is lower than that of pseudo-range single-point positioning of any single-frequency, and is slightly worse than that L1／L2 frequency combination of the GPS satellite.
