In this research, we constructed a 3D riverbed surveying system that is able to acquire the topographical information of a riverbed in real-time. The system consists of a RTK-GPS receiver and a echo sounder for collecting simultaneously the position and the water depth information of riverbed. A program for data composition and transformation was designed to generate the 3D coordinates by combining data of a GPS receiver and a echo sounder and made GIS database construction easy. We extracted TIN, digital elevation model and cross sectional maps of the riverbed by using GIS software from 3D data constructed through test surveying. It was shown that the accuracy of the result was RMS error of 0.069m when compared with the existing methods which use a total station and staffs. It is expected that the 3D riverbed surveying system wiil be able to be utilized to various surveying for water resources management in rivers, sea, dams, storing reservoirs and so forth.

Recently, a technique for acquiring spatial information data using UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) has been greatly developed. It is a very crucial issue of the GIS (Geographic Information System) mapping system that passes way point in the unmanned airframe and finally measures the accurate image and stable localization to the desired destination. Though positioning using DGPS (Differential Global Navigation System) or RTK-GPS (Real Time Kinematic-GPS) guarantee highly accurate, they are more expensive than the construction of a single positioning system using a single GPS. In the case of a low-priced single GPS system, the stability of the positioning data deteriorates. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement the uncertainty of the absolute position data of the UAV and to improve the accuracy of the current position data economically in the operating state of the UAV. The aim of this study was to present an algorithm enhancing the stability of position data in a single GPS mode of UAV with multiple GPS. First, the arrangement of multiple GPS receivers through the center of gravity of the UAV were examined. Next, MD (Mahalanobis Distance) is applied to detect instantaneous errors of GPS data in advance and eliminate outliers to increase the accuracy of previously collected multiple GPS data. Processing procedure for multiple GPS reception data by applying the center of the triangular method were presented to improve the position accuracy. Second, UAV navigation systems integrated multiple GPS through configuration of the UAV specifications were implemented. Using the unmanned airframe equipped with multiple GPS receivers, GPS data is measured with the TCM (Triangular Center Method). In addition, UAV equipped with multiple GPS were operated in study area and locational accuracy of multiple GPS of UAV with VRS (Virtual Reference Station) GNSS surveying were compared. The result showed that the error factors are compensated, and the error range are reduced, resulting in the reliability of the corrected value. In conclusion, the result in this paper is expected to realize high-precision position estimation at low cost in UAV using multiple low-cost GPS receivers.

수위표의 영점에서 수면까지의 높이로 정의되는 해발수위는 유량 및 유사량 등과 같은 관련 수문자료를 생산하는데 기본이 되는 자료이며, 하천 및 수공구조물의 설계 등에 기초자료로 이용될 뿐만 아니라 수자원의 효율적인 관리 및 수문순환 해석을 위한 가장 중요한 기초자료로서 국가 차원의 올바른 수자원 계획과 정책을 수립하는데 널리 활용된다. 이와 같이 해발수위자료의 이용 분야가 다양하고 그 자체로서도 중요한 의미를 가지는 점을 고려할 때 무엇보다도 중요한 것은 자료의 품질이 확보되어야 하는 것이다. 그러나 영점표고검정수준점 및 기준 수위표의 설치 이후 오랜 시간이 경과됨에 따라 노후화와 수위관측소 주변의 환경변화가 발생하게 되어 자료의 정확도가 매우 낮아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 해발수위 자료의 품질향상을 위해 수위관측소의 영점표고검정수준점 및 수위표 영점표고에 대하여 수준측량 및 RTK(Real Time Kinematic) GPS(Global Positioning System) 측량을 병행하여 수행하였으며, 조사측량된 값을 활용하여 기존에 측량된 영점표고검정수준점 및 수위표 영점표고에 대한 검토를 수행하였다. 금강 및 삽교천 수계에 위치한 50개 수위관측소 대하여 기존 측량값과 비교 검토한 결과 영점표고검정수준점은 0.10m 이하(54.0%), 0.10m 초과 ~ 0.50m 이하(26.0%), 0.50m 초과 ~ 1.00m 이하(6.0%), 1.00m초과 ~ 1.50m 이하(2.0%), 1.50m 초과 ~ 2.00m 이하(2.0%), 2.00m 초과 ~ 3.00m 이하(4.0%), 3.00m 초과(6.0%)의 값을 나타냈으며, 수위표 영점표고는 0.10m 이하(50.0%), 0.10m 초과 ~ 0.50m 이하(32.0%), 0.50m 초과 ~ 1.00m 이하(10.0%), 1.00m초과 ~ 1.50m 이하(2.0%), 1.50m 초과 ~ 2.00m 이하(2.0%), 2.00m 초과 ~ 3.00m 이하(2.0%), 3.00m 초과(2.0%)의 값을 가졌다. 이와 같이 기존과 금회 측량자료를 비교 검토한 결과 대부분이 안정적으로 유지되고 있으나 일부 수위관측소에서 변동량이 크게 발생한 원인은 영점표고검정수준점의 노후화, 기준 수위표의 교체 및 위치 변동, 인위적인 하천공사 등으로 인하여 발생한 것으로 판단된다.

In order to enhance public transportation and to maintain information credibility, improvement of accuracy regarding route and positional information of public transport is very significant. There have been a variety of methods using GPS to measure accuracy of location-based services. However, the researches of evaluation regarding kinematic position of linear objects measured by vehicle/kinematic GPS are still insufficient. That's why our paper aims to suggest method of evaluation accuracy on a real-time bus route surveyed by GPS by SBM(Single Buffering Method). To make it come true, we compared the findings on the static and dynamic positioning by using PP(Point Positioning), DGPS and GPS/INS integrated systems and analyzed the accuracy and error effects among them, focusing on Anyang city. Consequently, we can find out that in case of P.P. comparing positioning accuracy between RTK DGPS and GPS/INS, both of them have survey result within a margin of error of 5m. More importantly, we can evaluate positional accuracy of each GPS system based on the work provision of a public survey such as error for P.P.(14.5m, 18.1m), DGPS(16.9m, 18.5m), and GPS/INS(18.4m, 18.5m). We are expecting that proposed method in our paper can be utilized in a wide range of categories such as feasibility testing of GPS field survey and high accuracy of positioning for Bus Information System.

Currently, the regulation and rules for public surveying and the UCPs (Unified Control Points) adapts those of the triangulated traverse surveying. In addition, such regulations do not take account of the unique characteristics of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) surveying, thus there are difficulties in field work and data processing afterwards. A detailed procesure of GNSS processing has not yet been described either, and the verification of accuracy does not follow the generic standards. In order to propose an appropriate procedure for field surveys, we processed a short session (30 minutes) based on the scenarios similar to actual situations. The reference network in Seoul was used to process the same data span for 3 days. The temporal variation during the day was evaluated as well. We analyzed the accuracy of the estimated coordinates depending on the parameterization of tropospheric delay, which was compared with the 24-hr static processing results. Estimating the tropospheric delay is advantageous for the accuracy and stability of the coordinates, resulting in about 5 mm and 10 mm of RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error) for horizontal and vertical components, respectively. Based on the test results, we propose a procedure to estimate the daily solution and then combine them to estimate the final solution by applying the minimum constraints (no-net-translation condition). It is necessary to develop a web-based processing system using a high-end softwares. Additionally, it is also required to standardize the ID of the public control points and the UCPs for the automatic GNSS processing.
