Pseudolite Augmentation for GPS Aided Aerial Photogrammetry: An Analysis of Systematic Errors
نویسندگان
چکیده
GPS has been widely used as a geo-referencing tool in aerial surveying. However, the accuracy and availability of GPS positioning cannot meet the stringent requirements of large-scale photogrammetry. Ground-based pseudolites can strengthen measurement geometry for GPS based airborne geo-referencing systems. As a result, positioning accuracy and reliability can be improved, especially in the vertical component. However, as pseudolites are comparatively close to receivers, some challenging issues in systematic error analyses and modeling need to be further investigated. In this paper, the major systematic errors related to pseudolites, such as tropospheric delay, multipath and pseudolite location errors are analysed, and their impacts on the performance of an integrated GPS/Pseudolite airborne georeference system are presented.

High-Accuracy Airborne GPS/INS Positioning Augmented by Pseudolite
GPS/INS integrated systems have been used in mapping applications for direct geo-referencing, which needs very accurate position and attitude solutions. However, due to the limited constellation of GPS satellites and their geometric distribution, the accuracy of GPS positioning cannot meet the requirements of large scale aerial photogrammetry. A GPS/INS integrated system with pseudolite (PL) au...
