| Summary: | To better understand and evaluate the GNSS positioning performance, it is convenient to adopt corresponding measures to reduce the impact of errors on positioning. A GNSS positioning error estimation scheme based on an improved multi-layer perceptron model is proposed. The multi-head attention mechanism and gating operation are integrated into the multi-layer perceptron model to adaptively select and filter features, enhancing the model’s ability to understand input features. First, the original positioning error of the satellite is obtained through the Kalman filter positioning method. The data are then preprocessed to extract available features. Finally, the features are input into the constructed model for training and testing to obtain the estimated positioning error value. Two types of comparative experiments were completed. The performance of the presented model is evaluated by the root mean square error. Experimental results show that the proposed method performs well in terms of performance indicators, and has obvious advantages over other state-of-the-art methods. In particular, the root mean square error of the presented method in the first dataset is 0.239 m, which is <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mn>39.2</mn><mo>%</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mn>17</mn><mo>%</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> lower than the current state-of-the-art long short-term memory network and convolutional neural network, respectively. The presented method can provide higher-precision estimated values for studying the GNSS positioning error estimation problem. |
