In this paper a MATLAB toolbox for determining the attitude of a rigid platform by means of multiple non-dedicated antennas
using global positioning system is presented. The programs embedded in this toolbox cover the RINEX data analysis, single
point positioning, differential positioning, coordinate conversion, attitude determination, and other auxiliary functions.
After forming the baselines through double-differenced (carrier phase smoothed) code observables, the attitude parameters
are obtained by applying the direct attitude computation and the least squares attitude estimation. The theoretical background
is summarized, and some hints regarding the software implementation are given in the paper. Moreover, improvements yielding
an expanded functionality are proposed.

Network-based geometry-free three carrier ambiguity resolution and phase bias calibration 总被引:5,自引:2,他引:3
Continuously operating reference stations (CORS) are increasingly used to deliver real-time and near-real-time precise positioning
services on a regional basis. A CORS network-based data processing system uses either or both of the two types of measurements:
(1) ambiguity-resolved double-differenced (DD) phase measurements, and (2) phase bias calibrated zero-differenced (ZD) phase
measurements. This paper describes generalized, network-based geometry-free models for three carrier ambiguity resolution
(TCAR) and phase bias estimation with DD and ZD code and phase measurements. First, the geometry-free TCAR models are constructed
with two Extra-Widelane (EWL)/Widelane (WL) virtual observables to allow for rapid ambiguity resolution (AR) for DD phase
measurements without distance constraints. With an ambiguity-resolved WL phase measurement and the ionospheric estimate derived
from the two EWL observables, an additional geometry-free equation is formed for the third virtual observable linearly independent
of the previous two. AR with the third geometry-free model requires a longer period of observations for averaging than the
first two, but is also distance-independent. A more general formulation of the geometry-free model for a baseline or network
is also introduced, where all the DD ambiguities can be more rigorously resolved using the LAMBDA method. Second, the geometry-free
models for calibration of three carrier phase biases of ZD phase measurements are similarly defined for selected virtual observables.
A network adjustment procedure is then used to improve the ZD phase biases with known DD integer constraints. Numerical results
from experiments with 24-h dual-frequency GPS data from three US CORS stations baseline lengths of 21, 56 and 74 km confirm
the theoretical predictions concerning AR reliability of the network-based geometry-free algorithms.

Effective management of critical network infrastructure requires the assessment of potential interdiction scenarios. Optimization
approaches have been essential for identifying and evaluating such scenarios in networked systems. Although a primary function
of any network is the distribution of flow between origins and destinations, the complexity and difficulty of mathematically
abstracting interdiction impacts on connectivity or flow has been a challenge for researchers. This paper presents an optimization
approach for identifying interdiction bounds with respect to connectivity and/or flow associated with a system of origins
and destinations. Application results for telecommunications flow are presented, illustrating the capabilities of this approach.

Digital mobile mapping, the method that integrates digital imaging with direct geo-referencing, has developed rapidly over
the past 15 years. The Kalman filter (KF) is considered an optimal estimation tool for real-time INS/GPS integrated kinematic
positioning and orientation determination. However, the accuracy requirements of general mobile mapping applications cannot
be easily achieved even when using the KF scheme. Therefore, this study proposes an intelligent scheme combining ANN and RTS
backward smoother to overcome the limitations of KF and to enhance the overall accuracy of attitude determination for tactical
grade and MEMS INS/GPS integrated systems.

Many kinematic GPS applications rely on high accuracy, which usually requires the ambiguities to be fixed. Normally, a reference station in the rover’s vicinity is needed for successful ambiguity resolution. Alternatively, a network surrounding the rover and allowing one to derive area correction parameters is needed. Unfortunately, both approaches are not feasible in certain situations. This paper is a contribution to precise kinematic positioning over long baselines. Atmospheric refraction becomes critical in the error budget, but progress has been made to use numerical weather models to derive tropospheric corrections, for instance. The spatial correlation of both ionospheric and tropospheric propagation delays is investigated in this paper and special attention is paid on the systematic error behavior of tropospheric refraction. The principles developed are applied to an extended reliability test of the ambiguities. Finally, it is demonstrated in positioning experiments that kinematic positioning retrieval with fixed ambiguities is actually possible for baselines between 150 and 300 km with an accuracy of approximately 2 cm in post-mission processing.

The architecture of the ultra-tight GPS/INS/PL integration is the key to its successful performance; the main feature of this
architecture is the Doppler feedback to the GPS receiver tracking loops. This Doppler derived from INS, when integrated with
the carrier tracking loops, removes the Doppler due to vehicle dynamics from the GPS/PL signal thereby achieving a significant
reduction in the carrier tracking loop bandwidth. The bandwidth reduction provides several advantages such as: improvement
in anti-jamming performance, and increase in post correlated signal strength which in turn increases the dynamic range and
accuracy of measurements. Therefore, any degradation in the derived Doppler estimates will directly affect the tracking loop
bandwidth and hence its performance. The quadrature signals from the receiver correlator, I (in-phase) and Q (quadrature),
form the measurements, whereas the inertial sensor errors, position, velocity and attitude errors form the states of the complementary
Kalman filter. To specify a reliable measurement model of the filter for this type of integrated system, a good understanding
of GPS/PL signal characteristics is essential. It is shown in this paper that phase and frequency errors are the variables
that relate the measurements and the states in the Kalman filter. The main focus of this paper is to establish the fundamental
mathematical relationships that form the measurement model, and to show explicitly how the system error states are related
to the GPS/PL signals. The derived mathematical relationships encapsulated in a Kalman filter, are tested by simulation and
shown to be valid.

Ionospheric delay corrections for single-frequency GPS receivers over Europe using tomographic mapping 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
The majority of navigation satellites receivers operate on a single frequency and experience a positioning error due to the
ionospheric delay. This can be compensated for using a variety of approaches that are compared in this paper. The study focuses
on the last solar maximum. A 4D tomographic imaging technique is used to map the ionospheric electron density over the European
region during 2002 and 2003. The electron density maps are then used to calculate the excess propagation delay on the L1 frequency
experienced by GPS receivers at selected locations across Europe. The excess delay is applied to correct the pseudo-range
single frequency observations at each location and the improvements to the resulting positioning are calculated. The real-time
tomographic technique is shown to give navigation solutions that are better than empirical modelling methods and approach
the accuracy of the full dual-frequency solution. The improvements in positioning accuracy vary from day to day depending
on ionospheric conditions but can be up to 25 m during mid-day during these solar maximum conditions at European mid-latitudes.

The minimax hub location problem sites a facility to minimize the maximum weighted interaction cost between pairs of fixed nodes. In this paper, distances are represented by a rectilinear norm and may be suited to factory layout or street
network problems. The problem is already well known (in 2-D) as the round trip location problem and is extended to 3-D in
this paper. One rationale for the solution method is based on an extension of the geometric arguments used to solve the minimax
single facility location problem. Suppose a budget is provided for interactions, and that each interaction must be accomplished
for no more than this cost. The algorithm uses a bi-section search for the feasible budget until it finds the expenditure
needed to provide for these flows. The extension in the present paper is that the nodes are permitted to be on different layers
(levels). This 3-D version of the problem appears to be a new variant of the hub model. The models and solution techniques
developed in the paper are illustrated using a small 55 node problem. Because of a relatively efficient implementation of
the bi-section search, the algorithm in 2-D and 3-D is also applied successfully to a 550 node problem.

Pitch and roll attitude estimation of a small-scaled helicopter using single antenna GPS with gyroscopes 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
A method is presented for estimating the roll and pitch attitude of a small-scaled unmanned helicopter based on the velocity
measurements of the global positioning system (GPS). The small-scaled helicopter is a radio controlled (RC) model which is
readily available and affordable for academic laboratories as a research platform. Only one single antenna GPS receiver is
equipped on the RC helicopter to acquire the velocity measurements needed for the attitude estimation. The velocity information
is recorded by the onboard computer for post-processing. An attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) is used to provide
the reference attitudes. The required angular rates and heading for this study are also given by the gyroscopes and compass
of the AHRS for the sake of system’s simplification. The Kalman filter is applied to estimate the helicopter’s accelerations
by using the GPS velocity measurements. The estimated accelerations form the fundamental elements of synthesizing the pseudo-roll
and the pseudo-pitch. With some legitimate simplifications and assumptions, the relation between the helicopter’s attitudes
and the accelerations estimated from the GPS velocity measurements can be developed. Furthermore, to enhance the accuracy
of the pseudo-attitudes, the angular rates acquired from the gyroscopes are incorporated into the estimation algorithm of
pseudo-attitudes by using a complementary filter.

Incorporating spatial variation in housing attribute prices: a comparison of geographically weighted regression and the spatial expansion method 总被引:10,自引:3,他引:7
Christopher Bitter Gordon F. Mulligan Sandy Dall’erba 《Journal of Geographical Systems》2007,9(1):7-27
Hedonic house price models typically impose a constant price structure on housing characteristics throughout an entire market
area. However, there is increasing evidence that the marginal prices of many important attributes vary over space, especially
within large markets. In this paper, we compare two approaches to examine spatial heterogeneity in housing attribute prices
within the Tucson, Arizona housing market: the spatial expansion method and geographically weighted regression (GWR). Our
results provide strong evidence that the marginal price of key housing characteristics varies over space. GWR outperforms
the spatial expansion method in terms of explanatory power and predictive accuracy.

Antenna changes at GNSS reference stations frequently produce discontinuities in the coordinate time series. These apparent
position shifts are mainly caused by changes of carrier-phase multipath effects and different errors in the antenna phase
center corrections. A monitoring method was developed and successfully tested, which requires additional GNSS observations
from a local, temporary reference station. Changes of carrier-phase measurement errors due to the antenna change are determined
and stored in L1 and L2 phase maps. These phase maps provide corrections to be applied either to the observation data obtained
before the antenna change or to the observation data obtained after the antenna change. The observation corrections are able
to remove coordinate discontinuities independent of the selected coordinate estimation algorithm.

Identifying barriers of species and characterize their effects on spatial distribution provide essential information to research
in landscape genetics. We propose a weighted difference barrier (WDB) method as an alternative to maximum difference barriers
(MDB), and to initiate and integrate more spatial modeling and methods into the problem solving process. Overall, WDB provides
quick and straightforward improvements to the drawbacks of MDB. WDB integrates more sample location relationships into the
barrier construction and reveals potential barriers that would otherwise go undetected. WDB incorporates both within group
and between group genetic information, and delineates the barriers as a more complex pattern.

Since the assumption of all stations tracking the same satellites with identical weights was previously employed by Shen and
Xu (GPS Solut 12:99–108, 2008) to derive the simplified GNSS single- and double-differenced equivalent equations, this supplementary paper expands these
simplified equations in the case of each station tracking different satellites with elevation-dependent weights. Numerical
experiments are performed to demonstrate the computational efficiency of the simplified equivalent algorithm relative to the
traditional method in various scenarios of multi-baseline solutions with tracking different satellites. The fast computational
speed of the simplified equivalent algorithm will potentially benefit the local, regional and even global GNSS multi-baseline
solutions as well as the combined GNSS application.

Separate space- or time-lags have been considered regularly in data analyses; as space–time models are more recently being
studied extensively in data analytic fashion, joint estimation of both lags has to be considered explicitly. This paper addresses
this issue, taking into special consideration parametric parsimony together with specification richness; use of the bivariate
Poisson frequency distribution is advocated and applied to an empirical case. The relation of this approach to random effects
specifications is investigated. Data for Belgian regional products constitute the empirical case study.

Hierarchical spatial interaction among the Italian regions: a nonlinear relative dynamics approach 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Regional interactions and spillover effects should be considered as important factors in growth analysis of regional economies.
Using modified versions of the Dendrinos–Sonis model, this paper analyses the spatial hierarchical system of Italy. The interaction
among Italian regions is considered at three different levels of spatial aggregation, the NUTS-1, NUTS-2 and NUTS-3 levels.
Compared to more popular spatial econometric approaches, the Dendrinos–Sonis model and its extensions provide greater flexibility
in the way interaction between regions is handled but the results strongly depend on the choice of a reference region.

Latent lifestyle preferences and household location decisions 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Lifestyle, indicating preferences towards a particular way of living, is a key driver of the decision of where to live. We
employ latent class choice models to represent this behavior, where the latent classes are the lifestyles and the choice model
is the choice of residential location. Thus, we simultaneously estimate lifestyle groups and how lifestyle impacts location
decisions. Empirical results indicate three latent lifestyle segments: suburban dwellers, urban dwellers, and transit-riders.
The suggested lifestyle segments have intriguing policy implications. Lifecycle characteristics are used to predict lifestyle
preferences, although there remain significant aspects that cannot be explained by observable variables.

The ecological fallacy (EF) is a common problem regional scientists have to deal with when using aggregated data in their analyses. Although there is a wide number of studies considering different aspects of this problem, little attention has been paid to the potential negative effects of the EF in a time series context. Using Spanish regional unemployment data, this paper shows that EF effects are not only observed at the cross-section level, but also in a time series framework. The empirical evidence obtained shows that analytical regional configurations are the least susceptible to time effects relative to both normative and random regional configurations, while normative configurations are an improvement over random ones.

A sampling approach to estimate the log determinant used in spatial likelihood problems 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Likelihood-based methods for modeling multivariate Gaussian spatial data have desirable statistical characteristics, but the
practicality of these methods for massive georeferenced data sets is often questioned. A sampling algorithm is proposed that
exploits a relationship involving log-pivots arising from matrix decompositions used to compute the log determinant term that
appears in the model likelihood. We demonstrate that the method can be used to successfully estimate log-determinants for
large numbers of observations. Specifically, we produce an log-determinant estimate for a 3,954,400 by 3,954,400 matrix in
less than two minutes on a desktop computer. The proposed method involves computations that are independent, making it amenable
to out-of-core computation as well as to coarse-grained parallel or distributed processing. The proposed technique yields
an estimated log-determinant and associated confidence interval.

Show me the code: spatial analysis and open source 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2

This paper considers the intersection of academic spatial analysis with the open source revolution. Its basic premise is that
the potential for cross-fertilization between the two is rich, yet some misperceptions about these two communities pose challenges
to realizing these opportunities. The paper provides a primer on the open source movement for academicians with an eye towards
correcting these misperceptions. It identifies a number of ways in which increased adoption of open source practices in spatial
analysis can enhance the development of the next generation of tools and the wider practice of scientific research and education.
