Proposta de metodologia para melhora do posicionamento obtido através de receptores GPS de baixo custo. / Proposal of a methodology for improving low cost GPS receivers positioning.

Erly Caldas de Lima 08 May 2018 (has links)
O desenvolvimento técnico da eletrônica, a contínua redução do tamanho dos receptores GNSS, associada à diminuição do consumo de energia, transformaram estes produtos em alguns circuitos integrados ou apenas pequenos chips do tamanho de um botão de uma camisa. Desta forma pode-se promover a sua integração com inúmeros dispositivos eletrônicos. A associação com os telefones celulares foi principalmente impulsionada pelo mandato de aprimoramento dos serviços 911 (E911) da Federal Communications Commission (FCC) nos Estados Unidos, exigindo que todas as operadoras de telefonia móvel daquele país fornecessem a localização com boa precisão das chamadas de emergência. Esta necessidade estimulou a produção dos chips em larga escala e, portanto, a diminuição do custo e a sua popularização. Desta maneira quase que em sua totalidade, os telefones celulares são hoje fabricados com receptores GPS, o que torna estes dispositivos uma das fontes mais baratas de se obter o Geoposicionamento. Acontece que existe uma lacuna na literatura quanto à precisão e a exatidão das coordenadas fornecidas por estes equipamentos. O presente trabalho visa, através de testes estatísticos e da comparação com outros receptores GPS e métodos, quantificar estes valores e propor uma metodologia para melhorar tal posicionamento. Para conseguir o objetivo, a estrutura do Sistema Operacional do telefone foi modificada de tal modo que fosse possível o acesso às observáveis do chipset do GPS embarcado e convertidos para o padrão RINEX de arquivamento de dados brutos. Os testes foram executados com o equipamento original e com o equipamento modificado com a instalação de uma antena externa e mostraram que com a utilização da medida de fase da portadora o equipamento pode fornecer o posicionamento com uma precisão média de 0,069m, com o desvio padrão de 0,047m e erro planimétrico de posicionamento máximo de 0,218m e mínimo de 0,004m. / The technical development of electronics, the continuous reduction in the size of GNSS receptors, allied with the energy consumption decrease, transformed these products into some integrated circuits or in small Chips as small as size of a button of a shirt. In this way one can promote its integration with countless electronic devices. The association with cell phones was mainly driven by the mandate to enhance services 911 (E911) of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States, requiring that all mobile carriers of that country provide all the emergency calls location with good accuracy. So as to fulfill this necessity, the production of Chips in a large scale has been stimulated and therefore the decrease in cost and its popularity. In this way almost in its entirety, cell phones are now manufactured with GPS receivers, which makes these devices one of the cheapest sources to obtain the geopositioning. It turns out that there is a gap in the literature about how precise and accurate the coordinates provided by these equipments can be. This thesis aims through statistical tests and comparison with other GPS receivers and methods, quantify these values and propose a methodology to improve such positioning. To achieve the objective, the structure of the phone\'s operating system was modified in such a way that it was possible to access the embedded GPS Chipset observables and then converted into the RINEX standard raw data file. The tests were carried out with the original equipment and with the modified ones, with an external antenna installation which showed that using the phase measure of the carrier, the equipment can provide a positioning with an average accuracy of 0, 069m, with a default deviation of 0, 047m and a maximum planimetric positioning error of 0, 218m and a minimum of 0, 004m.

Real Time Positioning; Construction and implementation of a GPS-Communicator. / Realtidspositionering; Utveckling av en GPS-kommunikator.

Darnell, Christian, Wilczoch, Christian January 2002 (has links)
The first half of the Masters thesis is the result of a survey made on the behalf of the Swedish company KORDAB International AB. The survey includes an overview of different positioning systems and some wireless communication techniques available on the market today. Positioning systems discussed are GPS, DGPS, AGPS and GSM positioning. Mobile Internet connections through mobile phones and communication through radio modems are mentioned and described as examples of wireless communication techniques. Examples of techniques described are HSCSD, GPRS, UMTS and MOBITEX. KORDAB is in the starting blocks to implement a real time positioning feature into their own technical information system GEOSECMA. This survey will give them a base which will help them to decide on which system to use for this feature. The second half of the thesis includes parts concerning a prototype made to exemplify how KORDAB could implement the real time positioning feature into GEOSECMA. The NMEA 0183 protocol, reference systems and transformation are described to give the necessary background knowledge for the construction and functionality of the prototype. The prototype is a GPS-communicator made as an interface between a GPS-receiver and GEOSECMA and its functionality is also described in this second half of the thesis. Feasible applications are also discussed to show the possibilities real time positioning gives. One application discussed is “Zoom and Auto highlighting”. This application is designed to help user of GEOSECMA to zoom in the map and highlighting the nearest object at current location.

Evaluation of Target Tracking Using Multiple Sensors and Non-Causal Algorithms

Vestin, Albin, Strandberg, Gustav January 2019 (has links)
Today, the main research field for the automotive industry is to find solutions for active safety. In order to perceive the surrounding environment, tracking nearby traffic objects plays an important role. Validation of the tracking performance is often done in staged traffic scenarios, where additional sensors, mounted on the vehicles, are used to obtain their true positions and velocities. The difficulty of evaluating the tracking performance complicates its development. An alternative approach studied in this thesis, is to record sequences and use non-causal algorithms, such as smoothing, instead of filtering to estimate the true target states. With this method, validation data for online, causal, target tracking algorithms can be obtained for all traffic scenarios without the need of extra sensors. We investigate how non-causal algorithms affects the target tracking performance using multiple sensors and dynamic models of different complexity. This is done to evaluate real-time methods against estimates obtained from non-causal filtering. Two different measurement units, a monocular camera and a LIDAR sensor, and two dynamic models are evaluated and compared using both causal and non-causal methods. The system is tested in two single object scenarios where ground truth is available and in three multi object scenarios without ground truth. Results from the two single object scenarios shows that tracking using only a monocular camera performs poorly since it is unable to measure the distance to objects. Here, a complementary LIDAR sensor improves the tracking performance significantly. The dynamic models are shown to have a small impact on the tracking performance, while the non-causal application gives a distinct improvement when tracking objects at large distances. Since the sequence can be reversed, the non-causal estimates are propagated from more certain states when the target is closer to the ego vehicle. For multiple object tracking, we find that correct associations between measurements and tracks are crucial for improving the tracking performance with non-causal algorithms.
