Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

171
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...

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...

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel mobile sensor station network for high-fidelity ground truth generation.
  • To overcome limitations of existing fixed or constrained testing infrastructures.

Main Methods:

  • A network of self-powered stations equipped with 3D-LiDAR, dual-antenna GNSS, and edge computers.
  • Synchronization via GNSS time and rigid LiDAR-to-LiDAR calibration for fused point cloud generation.
  • Data sampling at up to 20 Hz for a coherent geometric representation of the environment.

Main Results:

  • Successful field experiments with an autonomous robot in a 26,000 m² area at speeds up to 20 km/h.
  • Continuous and consistent detection of the robot, including at field boundaries.
