Estimation of systematic errors in tracked datasets using least squares crossing point analysis

نویسنده

  • Morgan Brown
چکیده

Geophysical data often contains both systematic and random errors. If left unchecked, the systematic errors can cause acquisition footprint in the final map. I present a method to estimate systematic error by analyzing measurements at points where two acquisition swaths cross. I then subtract the estimated systematic error from the data and generate a map with a familiar least squares formulation. I test the method on bathymetric data from the Sea of Galilee. Compared to two previous least squares formulations, my new method produces final maps which are relatively free of acquisition footprint, and which exhibit preservation of underlying bathymetric features.

Retrieving Three Dimensional Displacements of InSAR Through Regularized Least Squares Variance Component Estimation

Measuring the 3D displacement fields provide essential information regarding the Earth crust interaction and the mantle rheology. The interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) has an appropriate capability in revealing the displacements of the Earth’s crust. Although, it measures the real 3D displacements in the line of sight (LOS) direction. The 3D displacement vectors can be retrieved ...

Least Squares Filtering

A general estimation model is defined in which two observations are available; one being a noisy version of the transmitted signal, while the other is a noisy-filtered and delayed version of the same transmitted signal. The delay and the filter are unknown quantities that must be estimated. An adaptive system, based on the least squares (LS) estimation criterion, is proposed in order to perform...

On the Estimation of Planimetric Offsets in Laser Altimetry Data

Offsets between overlapping strips of laser altimetry data serve as the input for strip adjustment procedures that estimate and eliminate systematic errors in laser altimetry datasets. For a three-dimensional strip adjustment offsets are to be measured in three dimensions. Height offsets can be determined straightforward by comparing the heights of horizontal planes. Planimetric offsets are mor...

Modified Lsm for Calibration of Measuring Apparatus

Modified least squares method (LSM) is developed that take into account errors in input standard signals for calibration of measuring devices. Calibration of the differential pressure gage by the standard control-point setting mechanisms is demonstrated in the paper as an example. The accuracy of the coefficient estimates changes when the errors of the control-point setting mechanisms are taken...

High-Accuracy Decoupling Estimation of the Systematic Coordinate Errors of an INS and Intensified High Dynamic Star Tracker Based on the Constrained Least Squares Method

Navigation accuracy is one of the key performance indicators of an inertial navigation system (INS). Requirements for an accuracy assessment of an INS in a real work environment are exceedingly urgent because of enormous differences between real work and laboratory test environments. An attitude accuracy assessment of an INS based on the intensified high dynamic star tracker (IHDST) is particul...
