Rapid Deformation Identification and Adaptive Filtering with GNSS TDCP Under Different Scenarios and Its Application in Landslide Monitoring

Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) real-time kinematic (RTK) has been widely applied in landslide monitoring and warning, since it can provide real-time and high-precision three-dimensional deformation information in all weather and all the time. The Kalman filter is often adopted for paramet...

description Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) real-time kinematic (RTK) has been widely applied in landslide monitoring and warning, since it can provide real-time and high-precision three-dimensional deformation information in all weather and all the time. The Kalman filter is often adopted for parameter estimation in GNSS RTK positioning since it can effectively suppress the observational noise and improve the positioning accuracy and reliability. However, the discrepancy between the empirical state model in the Kalman filter and the actual state of the monitoring object could lead to large positioning errors or even the divergence of the Kalman filter. In this contribution, we propose a novel rapid deformation identification and adaptive filtering approach with GNSS time-differenced carrier phase (TDCP) under different scenarios for landslide monitoring. We first present the methodology of the proposed TDCP-based rapid deformation identification and adaptive filtering approach for GNSS RTK positioning. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is then validated with a simulated displacement experiment with a customized three-dimensional displacement platform. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach can accurately and promptly identify the rapid between-epoch deformation of more than approximately 1.5 cm and 3.0 cm for the horizontal and vertical components for the monitoring object under a complex observational environment. Meanwhile, it can effectively suppress the observational noise and thus maintain mm-to-cm-level monitoring accuracy. The proposed approach can provide high-precision and reliable three-dimensional deformation information for GNSS landslide monitoring and early warning.
