Abstract

This paper presents a new algorithm to accelerate Precise Point Positioning (PPP) convergence. The main idea is to consider the station tropospheric zenith total delay, which is obtained by a global zenith troposphere delay estimate model, as virtual observation and combine it with phase and pseudo-range observations to formulate observation equations. Without relying on any other external enhancement information, it only requires four satellites to quickly complete the positioning with centimetre-level accuracy. Compared with the conventional method, the new one brings about 15% improvement in convergence time.

InSAR SBAS Time Series Tool

The program is written in C++ enabling multiprocessing through OPENMP. The time series inversion is calculated by a general Gauss-Markov linear model (e.g., weighted least square) and then filtered in the frequency domain by FFTW. The estimation is run on a pixel-by-pixel basis and each pixel can be estimated in parallel, therefore it is expected to run fast when OPENMP is enabled.
