Abstract

Integrating the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Inertial Navigation System (INS) sensor technologies using the precise GPS Carrier phase measurements is a methodology that has been widely applied in those application fields requiring accurate and reliable positioning and attitude determination; ranging from 'kinematic geodesy', to mobile mapping and imaging, to precise navigation. However, such integrated system may not fulfil the demanding performance requirements when the baseline length between reference and mobil user GPS receiver is grater than a few tens of kilometers. This is because their positioning/attitude determination is still very dependent on the errors of the GPS observations, so-called "baseline dependent errors". This limitation can be remedied by the integration of GPS and INS sensors, using multiple reference stations. Hence, in order to derive the GPS distance dependent errors, this research proposes measurement processing algorithms for multiple reference stations, such as a reference station ambiguity resolution procedure using linear combination techniques, a error estimation based on Kalman filter and a error interpolation. In addition, all the algorithms are evaluated by processing real observations and results are summarized in this paper.

GPS 반송파를 사용하는 GPS/INS 통합 측위 기술은 서로가 가지는 기술적 한계를 상호 극복하여 그 성능을 최대화 할 수 있어 측량과 항법의 다양한 분야에 활용되고 있다. 그러나 GPS/INS 통합 측위을 통하여 수 센티미터의 정확도를 확보하기 위해서는 기준국과 이동국 수신기 사이의 간격이 10~20Km 이내로 제한되어야 하는 단점을 가지고 있으며 이는 두 시스템 관측데이터를 통합 처리하더라도 그 정확도는 여전히 GPS 위성궤도 오차, 전리층 영향 그리고 대류권 지연과 같은 기선장에 따른 오차의 영향을 받기 때문이다. 이것은 3대 이상의 기준국 관측데이터를 사용하여 기선장에 따른 오차 보정량을 추정하여 이동국 관측데이터에서 그 영향을 최소화하여 극복 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다중의 기준국 관측데이터를 사용하여 기선장에 따른 오차 보정량 결정을 위한 기준국 반송파 미지정수 결정, 칼만필터에 의한 기선장에 따른 오차 추정 그리고 기준국과 이동국의 기하관계에 의한 오차 보간을 통한 보정량 산출 알고리즘 제안하고 실제 관측데이터 처리를 통해 그 성능을 평가 하였다.
