Enhanced real time kinematics determination method and apparatus

摘要

A method of and computer-readable medium containing instructions for high accuracy, reliable position determination. A high precision GPS-RTK system using the present novel techniques is initialized instantaneously or near instantaneously. To improve the computational efficiency and to improve the reliability of the procedure, advances in data functional and stochastic modeling, validation criteria, adaptation and system design were achieved. A position estimate using an integrated method is determined. Ambiguity resolution of the position estimate is enhanced by applying a quality control procedure using derived validation criteria. A second position estimate based on the enhanced ambiguity resolution is derived.
