A Comparison Study on Total Least Squares and Least Squares
토털최소제곱법과 최소제곱법의 비교연구
Abstract
The Total Least Squares (TLS) method is introduced in comparison with the conventional Least Squares (LS) method. The principles and mathematical models for both methods are summarized and the comparison results from their applications to a simple geometric example, fitting a straight line to a set of 2D points are presented. As conceptually reasoned, the results clearly indicate that LS is more susceptible of producing wrong parameters with worse precision rather than TLS. For many applications in surveying, can adjustment computation and parameter estimation based on TLS provide better results.
