Sentinel-1 Precise Orbit Calibration and Validation
In this paper, we propose a model-based procedure to calibrate and validate Sentinel-1 orbit products by the Multi-Squint (MS) phase. The technique allows to calibrate an interferometric pair geometry by refining the slave orbit with reference to the orbit of a master image. Accordingly, we state the geometric model of the InSAR phase as function of positioning errors of targets and slave track...
متن کاملSentinel-1A – First precise orbit determination results
Sentinel-1A is the first satellite of the European Copernicus programme. Equipped with a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) instrument the satellite was launched on April 3, 2014. Operational since October 2014 the satellite delivers valuable data for more than two years. The orbit accuracy requirements are given as 5 cm in 3D. In order to fulfill this stringent requirement the precise orbit determ...
متن کاملREML Variance-Component Estimation
In the numerous forms of analysis of variance (ANOVA) discussed in previous chapters, variance components were estimated by equating observed mean squares to expressions describing their expected values, these being functions of the variance components. ANOVA has the nice feature that the estimators for the variance components are unbiased regardless of whether the data are normally distributed...
متن کاملLeast-squares variance component estimation
Least-squares variance component estimation (LS-VCE) is a simple, flexible and attractive method for the estimation of unknown variance and covariance components. LS-VCE is simple because it is based on the well-known principle of LS; it is flexible because it works with a userdefined weight matrix; and it is attractive because it allows one to directly apply the existing body of knowledge of L...
متن کاملEstimation of Variance of Normal Distribution using Ranked Set Sampling
Introduction In some biological, environmental or ecological studies, there are situations in which obtaining exact measurements of sample units are much harder than ranking them in a set of small size without referring to their precise values. In these situations, ranked set sampling (RSS), proposed by McIntyre (1952), can be regarded as an alternative to the usual simple random sampling ...
