The objective of GPS control surveying is ultimately to determine coordinate sets of control points within targeted accuracy through a series of observations and network adjustments. To this end, it is of equivalent importance for the accuracy of these coordinates to be realistically represented by using an appropriate method. The accuracy representation can be quantitively made by the variance-covariance matrices of the estimates, of which features are sensitive to the mathematical models used in the adjustment. This paper deals with impact of functional and stochastic modeling techniques into the accuracy representation of the GPS control surveying with a view of gaining background for its standardization. In order to achieve this goal, mathematical theory and procedure of the single-baseline based multi-session adjustment has been rigorously reviewed together with numerical analysis through processing real world data. Based on this study, it was possible to draw a conclusion that weighted-constrained adjustment with the empirical stochastic model was among the best scheme to more realistically describe both of the absolute and relative accuracies of the GPS surveying results.

National Geographic Information Institute has established a plan that preoccupies UCPs (Unified Control Points) at 2~3km intervals in urban areas by considering the distance between existing UCPs by satellite images and aerial photographs in 2015. In this study, we discussed the method of selecting the locations of optimal UCPs by simulating GPS reception environment in candidate sites for UCPs using GIS. For this purpose, we selected new candidate sites for installing UCPs using satellite images and aerial photographs, and analyzed the GPS reception environment by calculating the visibility distance from buildings around UCPs using GIS skyline analysis. The number of and the arrangement of visible satellites that are capable of GPS satellite reception from the viewpoint of sky view were showed by GIS skyline analysis. Quality evaluation results of GPS observation data were compared with average PDOP calculated from hourly PDOP and TEQC in two points of Sungkyunkwan University during 8 hours. As a result of GPS reception environment using GIS, if the PDOP increases, the data acquisition rate is lowed, and the multipath error and the cycle slip are increased. Thus, this study verified that the quality of GPS observation data can be secured by constructing three-dimensional spatial information and simulating PDOP when preoccupying multiple UCPs using GIS.

The study has purposed in evaluating experiences for achievable accuracy and precision of time series at 3-D coordinates. It has been estimated from the kinematic medium-range baseline processing of Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) for the potential application of crustal displacement analysis during an earthquake event. To derive the absolute coordinates of local CORS, it is highly recommended to include some of oversea country references, since it should be compromised of an observation network of the medium-range baselines within the length range from tens of kilometers to about 1,000 kilometers. A data processing procedure has reflected the dynamics of target stations as the parameter estimation stages, which have been applied to a series of experimental analysis in this research at the end. From the analysis of results, we could be concluded in that the subcentimeters-level of positioning accuracy and precision can be achievable. Furthermore, the paper summarizes impacts of satellite ephemeris, data lengths and levels of initial coordinate constraint into the positioning performance.

A GPS measurement solution, in general, is obtained as a least squares solution since the measurement includes errors such as clock errors, ionospheric and tropospheric delays, multipath effect etc. Because of the nonlinearity of the measurement equation, we utilize the nonlinear Newton algorithm to obtain a least squares solution, or mostly, use its linearized algorithm which is more convenient and effective. In this study we developed a fixed point algorithm and proved its availability to replace the nonlinear Newton algorithm and the linearized algorithm. A nonlinear Newton algorithm and a linearized algorithm have the advantage of fast convergence, while their initial values have to be near the unknown solution. On the contrary, the fixed point algorithm provides more reliable but slower convergence even if the initial values are quite far from the solution. Therefore, two types of algorithms may be combined to achieve better performance.

In this study, the epoch adjustment model was developed to correct GPS precise point positioning result to be suitable for the current geodetic datum of Korea which is tied at past epoch statically. The model is based on the formula describing crustal movements, and the formula is composed of several parameters. To determine the parameters, the data gathered at 14 permanent GPS stations for 10 years, from 2000 to 2011, were processed using GIPSY-OASIS II. It was possible to determine the position of permanent GPS stations with an error range of 16mm and the position of check points with an error range of 12mm by appling the model to GPS precise point positioning result. It is considered that more precise model could be calculated by using GPS data of more permanent GPS stations.

This paper describes an accuracy analysis of newly developed gravimetric geoid and an improvement of developed geoid using GPS/Levelling data. We developed the KGEOID05 model corrected with the correction term. The correction term is modelled using the difference between GPS/Levelling derived geoidal heights and gravimetric geoidal heights. The stochastic model used in the calculation of correction term is the least squares collocation technique based on second-order Markov covariance function. 373 GPS stations were used to model the correction term. The standard deviation of KGEOID05 is about 11 cm and it indicates that we can be determined accurate heights ($2{\sim}3\;cm$) when we made precise modelling using KGEOID05 and a few GPS measurements for the local area.

JPL(Jet Propulsion Laboratory) has been routinely produced the precise GPS ephemeris and clock's correction parameter using data collected from globally distributed permanent GPS tracking stations, and has been offering the automated GPS data analysis(Precise Point Positioning： PPP) service by using them. In this study, after investigating the potential capacity of JPL's PPP service, the coordinates computation of the GPS base station by this service were investigated. For this, the dual frequency P codes data of 24 hours were observed from continuously operating four reference stations in USA. sent to the JPL's main computer through E-mail and/or ftp, and then were processed by Gipsy/Oasis-II (GOA-II) software with the precise GPS transmitter parameters. Centimeter-level positioning results were available to obtain in X, Y, Z geocentric rectangular coordinate system.

정밀한 위치결정에 사용되는 GPS는 초기 군사목적을 벗어나 자동차, 선박, 비행기 등의 항법은 물론 측량분야, 지각 및 구조물의 변위 감시, 우주, 통신, 국방 분야 등 매우 광범위한 분야에서 활용되고 있으며, 그 이용도가 급속히 증가하는 추세이다. 그러나 GPS 관측값은 부정오차와 정오차 등 많은 오차를 포함하고 있기 때문에 이를 소거하거나 최소화하여야 한다. GPS 오차는 크게 위성궤도나 위성시간 오차등 위성에 관련된 오차, 수신기 잡음이나 다중경로 등 수신기 관련 오차, 그리고 대류권이나 전리층에 의한 전파 오차로 구분할 수 있다. 이들 오차들은 대부분 차분방법과 수학적 알고리즘에 의해 소거되거나 최소화되지만, 다중경로와 수신기 잡음은 소거하거나 축소할 수 없다. 다중경로는 관측당시의 수신기 주변환경에 따라 바뀌기 때문에 수학적으로 소거할 수 없으며, 수신기 잡음은 수신기 내부의 노이즈로 인하여 발생하기 때문에 소거하기가 상당히 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 다중경로에 의한 GPS 기선변화를 알아보기 위해서 여러 조건하에서 정적 GPS 측량을 실시하였다. 먼저 정확한 좌표를 알고 있는 한 점에 GPS를 설치하고 다른 두 대의 GPS을 임의 점에 설치하였고, 이들 두 GPS 중에 하나의 수신기에 다중경로 환경을 설정하였다 정적 GPS 관측시 기선에 어떠한 변화가 오는 파악하기 위해서 기선처리와 망조정을 통해 기선길이와 좌표값을 산출하였다. 이러한 다중경로 실험은 구조물 모니터링 등 mm 정확도를 요구하는 GPS 측량에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

The emergence of the Global Positioning System(GPS) with its benefits of speed and economy now offers an opportunity to analyse, strengthen, densify and constitute the control network, in addition to providing mapping, cadastral and engineering control under the unfavorable conditions. This research aims at the using of GPS compared to conventional geodetic positioning techniques in Korean primary control networks. A GPS test network of 10km baselines, which is measured and analysed by Wild GPS-System 200, are compared to the distances from EDM and official coordinates, and relative GPS heights are transformed to the height differences on the mean sea level. The results of this study confirms that using GPS merely as a new type of instrument is the most powerful method for the densification of the control points retaining existing networks and existing computational procedures.
