Abstract
The polynomial regression model in which the precision information of satellite and local terrestrial
networks is considered is applied to carry out translation between GPS and local terrestrial systems, and the
geometrical meaning of translation parameters is explained tentatively. In order to overcome the
overparameters and choose the effectual translation parameters, the translation parameters in the polynomial
regression model are analyzed based on the theory of reliability, and determinability of parameters is
applied to the translation model to select the the effective parameters. Finally, in order to test the model,
an observed network in north of China has been calculated and analyzed with this model and translation
parameters have been selected with determinability.
Introduction
The model selection for translation between GPS and terrestrial network has been an important problem
in modern geodesy. As well known, it is important to select the optimum translation model within a limited
area of a certain local terrestrial network for the departments such as engineering surveying, mineral,
geology and so on. For the purpose, the problem has been studied widely and deeply.[2],[3],[4],[5].Traditional
translation model, 7-parameters model, between the two systems mainly focused on the solution of seven
translation parameters, i.e. three shifts Dx Dy Dz)of the two systems ;three components of rotation about
X,Y,Z axes or Eular rotation elements(ex ey ez) and one scale element K. However, that this model is not
suitable in a limited small area has been proved in reality. Considering the systematic error of local
terrestrial network and the merits and demerits of existed main translation model between the two systems,
the polynomial regression model is applied to the translation for the two systems, and the geometrical
meaning of translation parameters is explained tentatively. In order to overcome the overparameters and
choose the effectual translation parameters, the translation parameters in the polynomial regression
model are analyzed based on the theory of reliability,.
Translation approach with polynomial regression model
The realization of translation between GPS and terrestrial network is usually based upon the coordinate
differences at the same point that has the coordinates of both satellite frame and terrestrial frame.
According to Weierstrass[ ],the coordinate differences lR can be approximated by polynomial with certain
order term, i.e. for the I point of data in translation model, considering the second order term of the
polynomial, the coordinate differences between the two systems for the same vector can be expressed as
follows,
(Rt) i=(Rg) i+(dR) i (1)
(dR) i=(dx dy dz) i (2)
and
In the formula,(Rt) i is the vector of i point in geocentric system or GPS frame;
(Rg) i is the vector of i point in geodetic system or local terrestrial frame;
(dR) i is the difference of the same vector of in the tow systems
And subscript k is the reference point of terrestrial network; m0,n0,l0 are the shifts of the original point; m1,n1,l1 are the scale
elements of the directions of X,Y,Z axes; (m,n), (m,l), (n,l) are the rotation about X,Y,Z axes,…,m,n,…n,l,…l are the systematic errors that can not be distinguished.
Data Processing
Data processing in this work is based on the principle of adjustment of correlated observations[7]. For the i point in network, the observation equation can be established as following, (3)
In the formula,
X is the correction of the coordinate of i point;
Y is the parameters for translation between two systems;
A and B are the coefficients matrix relative to X and Y;
B is the approximate of geodetical latitude of the i point;
L is the approximate of geodetical longitude of the i point;
H is the approximate of geodetical height of the i point.
