    摘要: A method for reduced-outlier satellite positioning includes receiving a set of satellite positioning observations at a receiver; generating a first receiver position estimate; generating a set of posterior observation residual values from the set of satellite positioning observations and the first receiver position estimate; based on the set of posterior observation residual values, identifying a subset of the satellite positioning observations as statistical outliers; and after mitigating an effect of the statistical outliers, generating a second receiver position estimate having higher accuracy than the first receiver position estimate.

    摘要: Described are methods, systems, and devices for correcting ionospheric error. In some aspects, a mobile device equipped with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver is configured to determine a positioning measurement of a GNSS signal. The mobile device is further configured to receive augmentation data from an augmentation system. When augmentation data for a current measurement period is unavailable, the mobile device can obtain augmentation data associated with Total Electron Content (TEC) values (e.g., vertical TEC values) during one or more prior measurement periods. Based on the augmentation data associated with TEC values during one or more prior measurement periods and a pierce point of the received GNSS signal, an ionospheric error in the positioning measurement of the GNSS signal can be determined and corrected.

    摘要: Disclosed are various techniques for wireless communication. In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a satellite vehicle (SV), a signal of a first frequency band, estimate a first ionospheric delay residual error based on the signal of the first frequency band, calculate a first pseudorange measurement and a first carrier phase measurement based on the first ionospheric delay residual error, and estimate a position using the first pseudorange measurement and the first carrier phase measurement. In some aspects, the ionospheric delay residual error is estimated via a Klobuchar equation. In some aspects, the position is estimated using ultra-long baseline real-time kinematics (RTK) positioning.

    摘要: A map creation device includes a processor, and the processor is configured to execute a program to acquire an image captured by a camera mounted in a vehicle, estimate a first position indicating a position of the vehicle and an error of the first position based on information indicating a traveling state of the vehicle, estimate a second position indicating the position of the vehicle and an error of the second position based on radio waves transmitted from artificial satellites, set position information of the vehicle preferentially using one position with a smaller error of the first position and the second position, and create a map of places in which the vehicle has traveled based on the set position information of the vehicle and the image.

    摘要: A device estimates an actual trajectory of a vehicle. The device is designed to determine a sequence of measured position values over a corresponding sequence of times by use of a position sensor. The device is further designed to determine a sequence of odometry values on the basis of sensor data from one or more vehicle sensors. The device is also designed to determine, as an estimation of the actual trajectory of the vehicle, a sequence of estimated pose values for the sequence of times and a systematic position offset for the sequence of measured position values so that an optimization criterion is improved, in particular is optimized at least locally.

    摘要: A method for determining the point location of a vehicle stopped on one storage track among a set of storage tracks, using virtual beacons is provided. It determines and compares the likelihood of a plurality of hypotheses as to the stopped location of the vehicle, corresponding to a first set of NBe predefined virtual beacons Be(i), i varying from 1 to NBe, the respective positions of which are known in an amount of one virtual beacon per storage track, by correlating the GNSS geo-positioning signals received at various synchronization reset times of a second set by the GNSS receiver located on board the vehicle with predicted GNSS geo-positioning signals of replicas expected for the various positions of the virtual beacons of the first set at the various times. The detected holding position of the vehicle is the position that corresponds to the maximum likelihood.
