چکیده

The classical least-squares processing of GPS measurements generates residuals, which contains the signature of both unmodelled systematic biases and random measurement noise. It is desirable to extract (or minimise) the systematic biases contained within the GPS measurements. This would be relatively straightforward if there were some apriori knowledge of the phenomena related to these errors. Common ways of dealing with this problem include (i) changes to the stochastic modelling, and (ii) redefinition of the functional model. In this paper, we apply a method based on wavelets to decompose GPS double-differenced residuals into a low-frequency bias term and a high-frequency noise term. The extracted bias component is then applied directly to the GPS measurements to correct for this term. The remaining terms, largely characterised by the GPS range measurements and high-frequency measurement noise, are expected to give the best linear unbiased solutions from a leastsquares process. A robust VCV estimation, using the MINQUE procedure, controls the formulation of the stochastic model. The results show that this method can improve both the ambiguity resolution and the accuracy of the estimated baseline components.

Performance Enhancement of GPS/INS Integrated Navigation System Using Wavelet Based De-noising method

Accuracy of inertial navigation system (INS) is limited by inertial sensors imperfections. Before using inertial sensors signals in the data fusion algorithm, noise removal method should be performed, in which, wavelet decomposition method is used. In this method the raw data is decomposed into high and low frequency data sets. In this study, wavelet multi-level resolution analysis (WMRA) techn...

Comparative Analysis of Wavelet-based Feature Extraction for Intramuscular EMG Signal Decomposition

Background: Electromyographic (EMG) signal decomposition is the process by which an EMG signal is decomposed into its constituent motor unit potential trains (MUPTs). A major step in EMG decomposition is feature extraction in which each detected motor unit potential (MUP) is represented by a feature vector. As with any other pattern recognition system, feature extraction has a significant impac...

Wavelet Decomposition for Denoising GPS/INS Outputs in Vehicular Navigation System

This paper aims to bring together Global Positioning System (GPS) and Inertial Navigation System (INS) integration approach for data fusing using wavelet analysis. The wavelet is employed to compare the sensors outputs at different resolution levels and for several types of errors in INS and GPS as well as to smooth and predict the INS errors. Simulation results show that, the types of filters ...

Formation interface detection using Gamma Ray log: A novel approach

There are two methods for identifying formation interface in oil wells: core analysis, which is a precise approach but costly and time consuming, and well logs analysis, which petrophysists perform, which is subjective and not completely reliable. In this paper, a novel coupled method was proposed to detect the formation interfaces using GR logs. Second approximation level (a2) of GR log gained...
