Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of GNSS millimeter-level positioning, in particular to an optimal selection method for GNSS reference stations and a high-precision positioning system. Background Art
[0002] Based on the positions of millimeter-level positioning monitoring stations (monitored objects) of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), it is widely used to monitor the deformations of buildings such as bridges, dams, high-rise buildings, and landslide bodies, so as to make danger warnings based on the deformations and reduce personnel and property losses. Currently, for the positioning of the monitoring stations (monitored objects), the corresponding positioning system generally includes multiple satellites, at least one monitoring station, and one reference station. The disadvantage of using one reference station is that when the reference station fails, it is necessary to wait for repair or replace the reference station again to restart the positioning. Therefore, it is impossible to monitor the deformation during the failure period. In addition, when the reference station has poor received signal due to being blocked by obstacles or other reasons, the positioning accuracy of the GNSS monitoring station position will be reduced.

Based on Figure 3 the horizontal accuracy and elevation accuracy in, the comprehensive accuracy can be calculated. It can be seen that the comprehensive accuracy of the first reference station is the smallest, and the second reference station and the third reference station are larger, that is, the first reference station is selected as the optimal reference station.
