DP-filter Performance Analysis in Dynamic Scene for GM Smart Receiver

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the performance of the GM Smart Receiver's DP-filter in dynamic scenes. In single-point positioning mode, GNSS receivers typically provide around 1.5 meters of horizontal accuracy, but this can drift due to pseudorange inaccuracies. For applications like agricultural guidance systems, relative positioning precision is crucial. The DP-filter, an advanced smoothing algorithm, enhances relative positioning precision by utilizing carrier phase, delta-carrier phase, pseudorange, and Doppler observations. This method improves accuracy to sub-meter or centimeter levels.

Smooth (Pass to Pass) Accuracy
Several methods are used to quantify pass-to-pass accuracy, including comparing differences between adjacent paths and using RTK results as a reference. The DP-filter's performance is tested in various environments and configurations, showing improved accuracy and consistency.

Testing Procedure
The test compares the smoothing function of the GM Smart Receiver with a competitor's receiver. Both receivers were set up in parallel, tracking GPS, GLONASS, and BeiDou constellations. The test was conducted in an open sky and tree canopy environment. Results showed that the GM Smart Receiver maintained a closed loop path, while the competitor's receiver drifted.

Results
In open environments, both receivers achieved less than 20 cm pass-to-pass accuracy. In sheltered environments, the GM Smart Receiver showed superior performance, with a path distance of around 0.4 meters compared to the competitor's 1.2 meters. The GM Smart Receiver demonstrated better performance in both open and sheltered environments, with H-RMS values of 0.12 meters in sheltered and 0.07 meters in open environments.

Conclusion
The DP-filter of the GM Smart Receiver achieves under 20 cm pass-to-pass accuracy and smooth performance in open environments, meeting the requirements for high relative position precision in applications like agricultural guidance systems. It also outperforms competitors in sheltered environments, demonstrating its advantage in resisting environmental challenges.

DP-filter Performance Analysis in Dynamic Scene for GM Smart Receiver-2

Geometer International | Test Report IINTRODUCTION IINTRODUCTION In the single point (autonomous) positioning mode, the GNSS receiver provides around 1.5 meter absolute accuracy in horizontal, it can be significant drift in position due to pseudorange accuracy and no corrections input during positioning calculation. For some positioning applications, such as guidance system in agriculture, absolute accuracy is not essential, but the relative position precision of continuous epochs and adjacent path is critical, even a small number of discontinuities point cause serious problems for users.

DP-filter Performance Analysis in Dynamic Scene for GM Smart Receiver-3

Geometer International | Test Report SMOOTH (PASS TO PASS) ACCURACY There are several different methods which can be used to quantify pass to pass accuracy. We adopt the following analysis methods that are straight forward to compute and understand: a) Compare the difference between adjacent paths to evaluate pass to pass accuracy. b) Set RTK result as a reference, calculate real-time coordinate difference of trails between DP-filter and RTK result, here called dynamic difference value, and calculate standard deviation according to the below formula.

DP-filter Performance Analysis in Dynamic Scene for GM Smart Receiver-4

Geometer International | Test Report TESTING PROCEDURE In this paper, we test DP-filter performance to check the DP-filter performance in different environment, constellation and frequency configuration. Scenariо The test is to compare smoothing function of GM Smart Receiver with one of competitors N. Setting RTK solution as the reference, one GM Smart Receiver and one competitor’s were setup in parallel with one GM Smart antenna mounted on a trolley. The testing trolley was traveling at speeds of 7-10 km/h through a playground. In this scenario, all OEM boards tracks GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou...

DP-filter Performance Analysis in Dynamic Scene for GM Smart Receiver-5

Geometer International | Test Report TESTING PROCEDURE GM Smart Fig.1-2 Smooth performance (2 loops) of GM Smart and Competitor N The Fig.1-2 show smoothing path of GM Smart and Competitor’s horizontally. The GM Smart acquires a closed loop; however, the competitor’s receiver gets drift at the end of path. We compare the difference between two adjacent paths first. The following Fig.1-3 and Fig.1-4 show the adjacent path performance. We separately compare the difference in open environment and one half shelter environment. In open environment, they do not have the obvious difference, both of...

DP-filter Performance Analysis in Dynamic Scene for GM Smart Receiver-7

Geometer International | Test Report TESTING PROCEDURE We add the RTK solution as reference, make the mathematical statistics to calculate standard deviation (RMS). The following figure show the result. In statistics, we separately analyze the left red box of upper figure which is half-shelter environment and the right green box which is in open environment. We can see from the Tab.1-1, the H-RMS of GM Smart is 0.12 meter in shelter environment and 0.07 meter in open environment. It shows the better performance than competitor N, no matter in open environment or shelter environment. Tab.1-1 Real-time...

DP-filter Performance Analysis in Dynamic Scene for GM Smart Receiver-8

Geometer International | Test Report IINTRODUCTION CONCLUSION DP-filter performance of GM Smart Receiver can reach under 20cm pass-to-pass accuracy and good smooth performance in open environment. This can meet the requirement of some projects which needs high relative position precision and smooth performance, such as guidance system in agriculture. DP-filter can also get the better smooth performance than the competitor in shelter environment, shows the advantage for resisting shelter environment.
