|
Relationship between Geoid and Ellipsoid |
Geoid is an equipotential surface of the earths gravity field, closely approximates Mean Sea Level. Ellipsoid is an arbitrary mathematically defined geometrical construct that closely approximates the earths surface |
|
How is Ellipsoid defined |
It is defined by the semi-major axes, semi-minor axes and flattening |
|
List 4 reference Ellipsoid |
WGS84 GDA 2020 & 94 ANS ADG66 |
|
Latitude |
Circles running around the globe parallel to the equator measured from the equator. Lines run parallel north-south |
|
Longitude |
Semi-circles running from the North Pole to the South Pole (East-West). Reference line the Greenwich meridian. Longitude cannot exceed 180 |
|
Great circle |
A circle that will cut the sphere into two equal halves |
|
Relationship between geodesy projections and grid |
Geodesy lat and long projected on a transverse Mercator projection are distorted and don’t always appear as straight lines which make plotting and calculations difficult. A grid is a sequence of squares superimposed on a projection so that plotting and calculations can be done with simple trig |
|
Theory of GNSS |
GNSS provides a position that is determined by means of receipt of radio signal from a satellite constellation in orbit around the Earth. It’s a real-time, all weather, 24 hour worldwide and 3 dimensional positioning system |
|
Explain GNSS Signals |
Transmits data by microwave signals that are sent in 3 parts Navigational Message: time, SV Health Ephemeris Data: SV precise orbit info Almanac: SV course orbit time, Ionosphere model |
|
3 main categories of GNSS errors |
Satellite Error: clock errors, orbit errors Atmospheric Errors: ionosphere errors, tropospheric errors Receiver Errors: clock error, station co-ordinate |
|
dGPS & WAdGPS |
dGPS is a ground based augmentation system for GPS that can improve accuracy to +- 5 metres. It uses a system of ground based base stations whose position is accurately known. WAdGPS is a form of dGPS where corrections are received from a network of reference stations established over a wide area. |
|
How GNSS Receiver works |
Determine a highly accurate position on the earths surface by means of a process called carrier wave phase measurement |
|
3 methods of GNSS (PPK) |
Absolute: positions determined from observations recorded by a single geodetic receiver Classic static baseline: two receivers, both stationary, one on a known mark one on a unknown mark simultaneously recording. On the fly: two receivers, one stationary on a known mark the other mobile simultaneously recording |
|
PPK Concept |
1. Base and rover record positions simultaneously 2. One or more rovers in motion to observe baseline to static base station 3. Continuous satellite lock during observation 4. Post processing to apply correction |
