Optimization of GPS networks with respect to accuracy and reliability criteria
Yalcinkaya, Mualla and Kamil Teke
Optimal design of geodetic GPS networks with respect to accuracy and reliability criteria is an essential part of most geodesy related projects. Whether the datum and point locations of a network was known, the process of determining the optimal baseline configuration and their optimal weights with respect to the selected design criteria can be achieved by optimizing observational plan using Second Order Design (SOD). The scalar design criteria can only satisfy to the limited demands for a network. Thus, criterion matrices, which can be defined as the computed variance-covariance matrix in designing stage that meet many of the accuracy demands, is mostly used. Analytical approximations to the criterion matrices are effective methods of reaching objective functions formulated with criterion matrices.
