Improvement of multi-gnss precision and success rate using realistic stochastic model of observations

With the advancement of multi-constellation and multi-frequency global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs), more observations are available for high precision positioning applications. Although there is a lot of progress in the GNSS world, achieving realistic precision of the solution (neither too optimistic nor too pessimistic) is still an...

Combination of regional and global geoid models at continental scale: application to Iranian geoid

High precision geoid determination is a challenging task at the national scale. Many efforts have been conducted to determine precise geoid, locally or globally. Geoid models have different precision depending on the type of information and the strategy employed when calculating the models. This contribution addresses the challenging problem...

Three-dimensional displacement fields from insar through tikhonov regularization and least-squares variance component estimation

Synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) measures the projection of three-dimensional (3D) ground displacement in the range direction and in the azimuth direction through image processing. The incapability of InSAR in measuring the 3D displacements restricts its capability for assessing real Earth surface deformation. The near-polar...
