Ambiguity dilution of precision (ADOP) and position dilution of precision (PDOP) are two popular scalar-diagnostics used in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning. Where the ADOP is a predictor for carrier-phase ambiguity resolution performance, the PDOP is meant to predict the receiver-satellite geometry's capability for precise positioning. We will show, however, that although the PDOP works well for code-based positioning, one has to exercise great care in using the PDOP for real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning. We show that the ADOP and PDOP have distinct behaviors, an important consequence of which is that one can have time periods with small PDOPs, and thus seemingly good geometry for precise positioning, but at the same time large ADOPs, thus showing that successful ambiguity resolution and therefore precise positioning will not be possible. Also, the reverse situation may occur, i.e., having large PDOPs with small ADOPs. In such a situation, the large PDOPs should not automatically lead to the conclusion of poor position performance, because the large gain that ambiguity resolution brings will often still make precise positioning possible. We will analyze and explain this complementary behavior of the PDOP and ADOP and demonstrate this both analytically and empirically. For this analysis we use real Global Positioning System (GPS) single- and multifrequency signals and GPS/Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS), GPS/Navigation with Indian Constellation (NAVIC) L5 signals of two baselines located in Perth, Australia.
模糊精度稀释(ADOP)和位置精度稀释(PDOP)是全球导航卫星系统(GNSS)定位中常用的两种标量诊断方法。ADOP是载波相位模糊度分辨率的预测器,而PDOP则是用来预测接收机-卫星几何结构的精确定位能力。然而,我们将表明,尽管PDOP在基于代码的定位中工作得很好,但在使用PDOP进行实时运动学(RTK)定位时必须非常小心。我们表明,ADOP和PDOP具有不同的行为,其中一个重要的结果是,一个人可以有小PDOP的时间段,因此似乎是精确定位的良好几何形状,但同时,大adopp,从而表明成功的歧义解决,因此精确定位是不可能的。此外,也可能出现相反的情况,即大的pdp和小的ADOPs。在这种情况下,大的pdp不应该自动导致定位性能差的结论,因为歧义解决带来的大增益通常仍然可以实现精确定位。我们将分析和解释PDOP和ADOP的这种互补行为,并通过分析和经验证明这一点。在此分析中,我们使用了位于澳大利亚珀斯的两条基线的真实全球定位系统(GPS)单频和多频信号以及GPS/准天顶卫星系统(QZSS), GPS/Navigation with Indian Constellation (NAVIC) L5信号。

Methods for gridding multibeam echo sounder (MBES) measurements to equidistant grids are proposed as alternatives to the shallowest measured depth, which is affected by outliers. The approaches considered use a combination of mean and standard deviation of soundings and the regression coefficient from the best fitted plane. These methods along with mean and shallowest depths were applied to two surveyed areas. Two issues were found to be of importance, that is, a proper distribution of soundings and low uncertainties in the depth measurements. Improper sampling excludes using the method employing regression coefficients. For flat areas, the shallowest measured depth was found to be highly influenced by measurement uncertainties, counteracted when using the mean depth. However, the mean depth underestimates the shallowest depth for areas with slopes. When correcting the mean depth for standard deviation, the effect of slopes is accounted for while the influence of measurement uncertainties is decreased compared to shallowest measured depth. Since the uncertainties are dependent on beam angle, depth, and measurement equipment, these issues need to be accounted for in survey planning.
