Abstract

This paper has theoretically and practically reviewed the ISO (International Standard Organization) 17123-8 standard not only to raise the appropriateness for introducing performance criteria of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) surveying equipment based on RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) accuracy but also to derive its proper test procedure by introducing the international standard. Field experiments have been performed to appreciate the GNSS-RTK accuracy of five selected receivers via the full testing procedure of the ISO standard, which statistically compares the so-called experimental standard deviations with themselves and with the reference accuracy. A series of statistical tests have revealed that the RTK accuracy of the same class receivers is not identical, whereas that of the different classes can be equivalent. Such a result evidences the urgency of adopting an RTK accuracy-based specification of the GNSS equipment to the performance standard, currently referenced to the static observation technique only. It is believed that this transition helps the maximization of a new generation of cost-effective receivers to legal surveying applications. Finally, this study proposes the ISO full test, comparing an experimental standard deviation with its referenced value, for a potential field verification procedure of the new performance standard.

본 논문에서는 GNSS-RTK 정확도에 근거한 측량기기 성능 기준 마련의 당위성 제기와 국제표준을 적용한 정확도 성능검사 방안 모색하기 위해 「ISO 17123-8」에 의한 현장시험 절차와 방법을 고찰하고 이 표준을 적용한 관측실험을 수행하였다. ISO 표준에 따라 간이시험과 완전시험 절차를 적용해 5개 기종 GNSS 수신기가 RTK 방식으로 취득한 수평·높이 좌표가 기준정확도 이상이 되는지와 이들 좌표 정확도의 동등 여부를 통계검정 하였다. 그 결과 동일 등급 GNSS 수신기라 할지라도 RTK 정확도가 통계적으로 차이가 있을 수 있고 상이한 등급 수신기들도 그 정확도는 동등할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이로부터 본 연구에서는 GNSS 상시관측 인프라의 고도화로 급증하는 실시간 측량 수요 대처 및 새로운 형태와 특징을 갖는 GNSS 수신기 활용성 제고를 위해 RTK 정확도 기반 측량기기 성능 기준 마련과 검사 방법의 도입 필요성을 제기하였다. 여기서, GNSS-RTK 정확도 평가에는 「ISO 17123-8」 따른 관측 시험 중 완전시험법의 두 분산의 비를 비교해 시험정확도가 기준정확도 이상임을 검사하는 방법이 적합한 것으로 판단하였다.
