Abstract: | The polynomial interpolation of least squares and interpolation moving least squares based on control stations with known GPS (global positioning system) ellipsoidal heights and levelling orthometric heights are the most often used methods for the interpolation of the geoid heights. But in their applications there occur two problems: one lies in selecting the suitable polynomial parameters; the other in reducing the influences of some possibly abnormal data points. To solve both of the problems, without emphasizing a sound theoretical basis, a heuristic solution with the help of robust estimation technique and optimization criteria for the regression equation is presented. Through two actual numerical examples it is shown that the new solution concept is efficient and can be realized easily on computers. Received: 23 May 1996 / Accepted: 27 March 1997 |
