Types of Global Positioning System Surveys01:30

Types of Global Positioning System Surveys

99
GPS surveying methods vary in application, accuracy, and data collection techniques, catering to diverse surveying and mapping needs. Static GPS, kinematic GPS, and real-time kinematic (RTK) surveying are widely used. Each technique offers distinct advantages.Static GPS involves placing one receiver at a known reference point and another at the target point. It collects exact positional data by observing multiple satellite ranges over an extended period, achieving centimeter-level accuracy for...

Errors in Global Positioning System

82
Global Positioning System (GPS) technology has revolutionized navigation and positioning, but its accuracy is often compromised by various errors. These errors, stemming from environmental, satellite, and receiver-related factors, require careful mitigation to ensure reliable performance across applications.Atmospheric ErrorsGPS signals travel through the Earth’s ionosphere and troposphere, introducing delays which affect accuracy. The ionosphere is strongly influenced by charged particles,...

Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...

Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments01:30

Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments

72
Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMs) are essential tools in modern surveying, offering precise distance measurements by emitting electromagnetic signals and calculating the time required for these signals to travel to a target and return. Two primary types of signals are used in EDMs — light waves and microwaves — each suited to specific environmental and distance requirements. Light-wave-based EDMs utilize either infrared or laser light, providing high accuracy over short...

Tapes are essential in surveying for accurate, durable, and short-distance measurements. Made from lightweight, nylon-coated steel, they offer flexibility and strength for rugged outdoor use. The nylon coating protects against rust and wear, extending the tape's life. Standard lengths, around 30 meters, are marked in meters and millimeters for precision.Surveyors select tapes based on site conditions and accuracy needs. Lightweight, nylon-coated tapes are commonly used for ease of handling and...

Area of Science:

  • Robotics and Navigation
  • Sensor Fusion
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) is crucial for indoor navigation but suffers from accuracy issues due to smartphone sensor errors.
  • Existing PDR methods relying solely on inertial sensors accumulate significant tracking errors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel radar-assisted PDR (RadarPDR) scheme to improve indoor pedestrian tracking accuracy.
  • To address the limitations of current inertial sensor-based PDR systems.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of a frequency-modulation continuous-wave (FMCW) radar with smartphone inertial sensors.
  • Development of a segmented wall distance calibration model to mitigate radar ranging noise.
  • Fusion of radar-derived wall distance with inertial sensor data (acceleration, azimuth).
  • Implementation of a hierarchical particle filter (PF) combined with an extended Kalman filter for position and trajectory adjustment.

Main Results:

  • RadarPDR demonstrates efficient and stable performance in practical indoor scenarios.
  • The proposed scheme significantly outperforms traditional inertial sensor-based PDR methods.
  • Improved accuracy in walking direction, step detection, and step length estimation.

Conclusions:

  • RadarPDR offers a robust solution for accurate indoor pedestrian tracking and navigation.
  • The fusion of FMCW radar with inertial sensors effectively compensates for individual sensor limitations.
  • This approach provides a foundation for more reliable indoor navigation services.
