Geodetic Surveying and Plane SurveyingSurveying has been traditionally defined as the art and science of determining the position of natural and artificial features on, above or below the earth’s surface; and representing this information in analog form as a contoured map, paper plan or chart, or as figures in report tables, or in digital form as a three dimensional mathematical model stored in the computer. As such, the surveyor/geodesist dealt with the physical and mathematical aspect of measurement. The accurate determination and monumentation of points on the surface of the Earth is therefore seen as the major task.Though these surveys are for various purposes, still the basic operations are the same---they involve measurements and computations or, basically, fieldwork and office work. There are many different types of surveys such as land surveys, route surveys, city surveys, construction surveys, hydrographic surveys, etc., but generally speaking, surveying is divided into two major categories: geodetic and plane surveying.Surveys will either take into account the true shape of the Earth(Geodetic surveys)or treat the earth as a flat surface(Plane surveys). Additionally, surveys are conducted for the purpose of positioning features on the ground(Horizontal surveys), determining the elevation or heights of features(Vertical surveys) or a combination of both.Geodetic SurveyingThe type of surveying that takes into account the true shape of the earth is called geodetic surveying.This type of survey is suited for large areas and long lines and is used to find the precise location of basic points needed for establishing control for other surveys. In geodetic surveys, the stations are normally long distances apart, and more precise instruments and surveying methods are required for this type of surveying than for plane surveying.Widely spaced, permanent monuments serve as the basis for computing lengths and distances between relative positions. These basic points with permanent monuments are called geodetic control survey points, which support the production of consistent and compatible data for surveying and mapping projects. In the past, ground-based theodolites, tapes, and electronic devices were the primary geodetic field measurements used. Today, the technological expansion of GPS has made it possible to perform extremely accurate geodetic surveys at a fraction of the cost.A thorough knowledge of the principles of geodesy is an absolute prerequisite for the proper planning and execution of geodetic surveys.In Geodetic Surveys, the shape of the earth is thought of as a spheroid, although in a technical sense, it is not really a spheroid. Therefore, distances measured on or near the surface of the earth are not along straight lines or planes, but on a curved surface. Hence, in the computation of distances in geodetic surveys, allowances are made for the earth’s minor and major diameters from which a spheroid of reference is developed. The position of each geodetic station is related to this spheroid. The positions are expressed as latitudes(angles north or south of the Equator) and longitudes(angles east or west of a prime meridian) or as northings and eastings on a rectangular grid.A geodetic survey establishes the fundamentals for the determination of the surface and gravity field of a country. This is realized by coordinates and gravity values of a sufficiently large number of control points, arranged in geodetic and gravimetric networks. In this fundamental work, curvature and the gravity field of the earth must be considered.The type of surveying in which the mean surface of the earth is considered a plane, or in which the curvature of the earth can be disregarded without significant error, generally is called plane surveying. The term is used to designate survey work in which the distances or areas involved are of limited extent. With regard to horizontal distances and directions, a level line is considered mathematically straight, the direction of the plumb line is considered to be the same at all points within the limits of the survey, and all angles are considered to be plane angles. To make computations in plane surveying, you will use formulas of plane trigonometry, algebra, and analytical geometry. For small areas, precise results may be obtained with plane surveying methods, but the accuracy and precision of such results will decrease as the area surveyed increases in size. For example, the length of an arc 18.5 km long lying in the earth’s surface is only 7mm greater than the subtended chord and, further, the difference between the sum of the angles in a plane triangle and the sum of those in a spherical triangle is only 0.51 second for a triangle at the earth’s surface having an area of 100km2 . It will be appreciated that the curvature of the earth must be taken into consideration only in precise surveys of large areas.A great number of surveys are of the plane surveying type.Surveys for the location and construction of highways, railroads, canals, and in general, the surveys necessary for the works of human beings are plane surveys, as are the surveys made to establish boundaries, except state and national. However, with the increasing size and sophistication of engineering and other scientific projects, surveyors who restrict their practice to plane surveying are severely limited in the types of surveys in which they can be engaged. The operation of determining elevation usually is considered a division of plane surveying. Elevations are referred to the geoid. The geoid is theoretical only.It is the natural extension of the mean sea level surface under the landmass. We could illustrate this idea by digging an imaginary trench across the country linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.If we allowed the trench to fill with seawater, the surface of the water in the trench would represent he geoid. So for all intents and purposes, the geoid is the same as mean sea level. Mean sea level is the average level of the ocean surface halfway between the highest and lowest levels recorded. We use mean sea level as a datum or, curiously and incorrectly, a datum plane upon which we can reference or describe the heights of features on, above or below the ground. Imagine a true plane tangent to the surface of mean sea level at a given point. At horizontal distances of 1km from the point of tangency, the vertical distances(or elevations) of the plane above the surface represented by mean sea level are 7.8cm. Obviously, curvature of the earth’s surface is a factor that cannot be neglected in obtaining even rough values of elevations. The ordinary procedure in determining elevations, such as balancing backsight and foresight distance in differential leveling, automatically takes into account the curvature of the earth and compensates for earth curvature and refraction, and elevations referred to the curved surface of reference are secured without extra effort by the surveyor.There is close cooperation between geodetic surveying and plane surveying. The geodetic survey adopts the parameters determined by measurements of the earth, and its own results are available to those who measure the earth. The plane surveys, in turn, are generally tied to the control points of the geodetic surveys and serve particularly in the development of national map series and in the formation of real estate cadastres.Below we are about measure distance, Angle and Direction Measurement and Traversing. Distance MeasurementOne of the fundamentals of surveying is the need to measure distance. Distances are not necessarily linear, especially if they occur on the spherical earth. In this subject we will deal with distances in Euclidean space, which we can consider a straight line from one point or feature to another. Distance between two points can be horizontal, slope, or vertical. Horizontal and slope distances can be measured with lots of techniques of measurement depending on the desired quality of the result. If the points are at different elevations, then the distance is the horizontal length between plumb lines at the points. Here gives a brief summary of relevant techniques and their respective accuracies:Pacing and OdometerPacing is a very useful form of measurement though it is not precise, especially when surveyors are looking for survey marks in the field. Pacing can be performed at an accuracy level of 1/100~1/500 when performed on horizontal land, while the accuracy of pacing can’t be relied upon when pacing up or down steep hills. The odometer is a simple device that can be attached to any vehicle and directly registers the number of revolutions of a wheel. With the circumference of the wheel known, the relation between revolutions and distance is fixed.Ordinary Taping and Precise TapingTaping is a very common technique for measuring horizontal distance between two points. Ordinary taping refers to the very common tapes that we can buy them in stores, such as the plastic tapes or poly tapes. Such tapes have low precision in distance measurements with about 1/3000~1/5000. The precise taping refers to the steel tapes and which are much more expensive than the plastic tape and have higher precision of 1/10000~1/30000. Invar tapes are composed 35% nickel and 65% steel. This alloy has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, making the tapes useful in precise distance measurement. Many tapes are now graduated with foot units on one side and metric units on the reverse side. Metric units are in meters, centimeter and minimeter with the total length of 20 m, 30 m, 50 m and 100 m.If we want to measure the horizontal distance between the two points A and B, we can do like this: With zero of the tape to the higher point B and tape going along the point A, we can measure the horizontal distance by using the plumb bob with pump line entering to the point A. To judge the exact horizontal line, we should move the tape up and down along the pump line and we will find the changes of reading in the tape. The shortest reading of the tape is the horizontal distance.If the distance is longer than the length of tape, then we can divide the long distance into several segments and get the total distance by plus each segment together. Since different tapes have different starts of zero of the tapes, it is very important to judge where the zero of the tape begins. Tacheometry and StadiaTacheometry is an optical solution to the measurement of distance. The word is derived from the Greek Tacns, meaning “swift”, and metrot, meaning “a measure”. Tacheometry involves the measurement of a related distance parameter either by means of a fixed-angle intercept. Theodolite tacheometry is an example of stadia system.The theodolite is directed at the level staff where the staff is held vertically and the line of sight of the telescope is horizontal.By reading the top and bottom stadia hairs on the telescope view and then the horizontal distance from center of instrument to rod can be obtained by multiplying the stadia interval factor K by the stadia interval and plus the distance C which is from the center of instrument to principal focus, i.e. D=Ks + C. Usually the nominal stadia interval factor K equals 100 which is a constant for a particular instrument as long as conditions remain unchanged, but it may be determined by observation in practice. The value of C is determined by the manufacturer and stated on the inside of the instrument box. For external-focusing telescopes, under ordinary condition, C may be considered as 1 ft without error of consequence. Internal-focusing telescopes are so constructed that C is 0 or nearly so; this is an advantage of internal-focus telescopes for stadia work. Most instruments now used for stadia are equipped with internal-focusing telescopes.Applications of tacheometry include traversing and leveling for the topographic surveys, location of detail surveys, leveling and field completion surveys for the topographic mapping, and hydrographic mapping. The relative precision is 1:1000 to 1:5000.Stadia is a form of tacheometry that uses a telescopic cross-hair configuration to assist in determining distances.A series of rod readings is taken with a theodolite and the resultant intervals are used to determine distances.Electronic Distance Measurement(EDM)The Electronic Distance Measurement(EDM) was first introduced in 1950s by the founders of Geodimeter Inc. The advent of EDM instrument has completely revolutionized all surveyingprocedures, resulting in a change of emphasis and techniques. Distance can now be measured easily, quickly and with great accuracy, regardless of terrain conditions.EDM instruments refer to the distance measurement equipments using light and radio waves. Both light waves and radio waves are electromagnetic. They have identical velocities in a vacuum (or space) to 299,792.458±0.001km/sec.These velocities, which are affected by the air’s density, are reduced and need to be recalculated in the atmosphere. The basic principle of EDM instruments is that distance equals time multiplied by velocity.Thus if the velocity of a radio or light wave and time required for it to go from one point to another are known, the distance between the two points can be calculated.The EDM instruments may be classified according to the type and wavelength of the electromagnetic energy generated or according to their operational range. EDM instruments use three different wavelength bands: (1)Microwave systems with range up to 150km, wave length 3 cm, not limited to line of sight and unaffected by visibility; (2)Light wave systems with range up to 5 km (for small machines), visible light, lasers and distance reduced by visibility; (3)Infrared systems with range up to 3 km, limited to line of sight and limited by rain, fog, other airborne particles. Although there is a wide variety of EDM instruments available with different wavelengths, there are basically only two methods of measurement employed which may divide the instruments into two classification as electro-optical (light waves) and microwaves (radio waves) instruments. These two basic methods are namely the pulse method and more popular phase different method. They function by sending light waves or microwaves along the path to be measured and measuring the time differences between transmitted and received signals, or in measuring the phase differences between transmitted and received signals in returning the reflecting light wave to source. Modern EDM instruments are fully automatic to such an extent that, after the instruments, set up on one station, emits a modulated light beam to a passive reflector set up on the other end of the line to be measured. The operator need only depress a button, and the slope distance is automatically displayed. More complete EDM instruments also have the capability of measuring horizontal and vertical or zenith angles as well as the slope distance. These instruments referred to as total station instruments.Angle and Direction MeasurementHorizontal and vertical angles are fundamental measurements in surveying. It is necessary to be familiar with the meanings of certain basic terms before describing angle and direction measurement. The terms discussed here have reference to the actual figure of the earth.Basic TermsA vertical line at any point on the earth’s surface is the line that follows the direction of gravity at that point.It is the direction that a string will assume if a weight is attached at that point and the string is suspended freely at the point.At a given point there is only one vertical line.A horizontal line at a point is any line that is perpendicular to the vertical line at the point.At any point there are an unlimited number of horizontal lines.A horizontal plane at a point is the plane that is perpendicular to the vertical line at the point. There is only one horizontal plane through a given point.A vertical plane at a point is any plane that contains the vertical line at the point.There are an unlimited number of vertical planes at a given point.Horizontal Angle and Vertical AngleA horizontal angle is the angle formed in a horizontal plane by two intersecting vertical planes, or a horizontal angle between two lines is the angle between the projections of the lines onto a horizontal plane. For example, observations to different elevation pointsB andC from A will give the horizontal angle ∠bac which is the angle between the projections of two lines (AB and AC) onto the horizontal plane. It follows that, although the points observed are at different elevations, it is always the horizontal angle and not the space angle that is measured (Figure 1). The horizontal angle is used primarily to obtain relative direction to a survey control point, or topographic detail points, or to points to be set out.A vertical angle is an angle measured in a vertical plane which is referenced to a horizontal line by plus (up) or minus (down) angles, or to a vertical line from the zenith direction. Plus and minus vertical angles are sometimes referred to as elevation or depression angles, respectively. A vertical angle thus lies between 0°and ±90°. Zenith is the term describing points on a celestial sphere that is a sphere of infinitely large radius with its center at the center of the earth. The zenith is anangle measured in a vertical plane downward from an upward directed vertical line through the instrument. It is thus between 0°and 180°. Obviously the zenith angle is equal to 90°minus the vertical angles. Vertical angles or zeniths are used in the correction of slope distance to the horizontal or in height determined. For the most part, the instrument used in the measurement of angles is called a transit or theodolite, although angles can be measured with clinometers, sextants (hydrographic surveys), or compasses.The theodolite contains a horizontal and vertical circles of either glass or silver.The horizontal and vertical circles of theodolite can be linked to circular protractors graduated from 0°to 360°in a clockwise manner set in horizontal and vertical plane. The horizontal circle is used when measuring or laying off horizontal angles and the vertical circle is used to measure or lay off vertical angles or zenith angles. Usually the units of angular measurement employed in practice are degrees, minutes, and seconds, the sexagesimal system.Angle MeasurementA horizontal angle in surveying has a direction or sense; that is, it is measured or designed to the right or to the left, or it is considered clockwise or counterclockwise. In the above figure, the angle at A fromB toC is clockwise and the angle from C to B is counterclockwise. With the theodolite set up, centered, and leveled over at station A, then a simple horizontal angle measurement between surveying point B, A and C would be taken as follows:⑴Commencing on, say, “face left”, the target set at survey point B is carefully bisected and the reading on horizontal scale is 25°. ⑵The upper plate clamp is released and telescope is turned clockwise to survey point C. The reading on horizontal circle is 75°⑶The horizontal angle is then the difference of the two directions, i.e. (75°-25°) =50°(⑷Change face and observe point C on “face right”, and note the reading=255°⑸Release upper plate and swing counterclockwise to point B and note the reading =205°⑹The reading or the direction must be subtracted in the same order as 255°-205°=50°⑺The mean of two values would be accepted if they are in acceptable agreement. Modern electronic digital theodolites contain circular encoders that sense the rotations of the spindles and the telescope, convert these rotations into horizontal and vertical (or zenith) angles electronically, and display the value of the angles on liquid crystal displays (LCDs) or light-emitting diode displays (LEDs). These readouts can be recorded in a conventional field book or can be stored in a data collector for future printout orcomputation. The instrument contains a pendulum compensator or some other provision for indexing the vertical circle readings to an absolute vertical direction.The circle can be set to zero readings by a simple press of a button or initialized to any value on the instrument.Azimuth is the horizontal angle measured in a clockwise direction from the plane of the meridian, which is a line on the mean surface of the earth joining the north and south poles. Azimuth ranges in magnitude from 0°to 360°, values in excess of 360°, which are sometimes encountered in computations, are simply reduced by 360°before final listing.Bearing is the traditional way of stating the orientation of the line. It is actually the angle measured from the north or south.The bearing, which can be measured clockwise or counterclockwise from the north or south end of the meridian, is always accompanied by letters that locate the quadrant in which the line falls. For example, bearing N32W indicates a line trending 32°west of the north. It is equal to an azimuth of 328°.Bearing S12W indicates a line trending 12°west of the south. It is equal to an azimuth of 192°. It is important to state that the bearing and azimuth are respect to true north..TraversingThe purpose of the surveying is to locate the positions of points on or near the surface of the earth. To determine horizontal positions of arbitrary points on the earth’s surface and elevation of points above or below a reference surface are known as a control survey.The positions and elevations of the points make up a control network.There are different types of control networks depending on where and why they are established.A control network may have very accurate positions but no elevations (called a Horizontal Control Network) or very accurate elevations but no positions (called a Vertical Control Network).Some points in a control network have both accurate positions and elevations.Control networks range from small, simple and inexpensive to large and complex and very expensive to establish.A control network may cover a small area by using a “local” coordinate system that allows you to position the features in relation to the control network but doesn’t tell you where the features areon the surface of the earth, or cover a large area by consisting of a few well-placed and precise-established control points, which is sometimes called the primary control.The horizontal positions of points in a network can be obtained in a number of different ways.(The generally used methods are triangulation, trilateration, traversing, intersection, resection and GPS.The main topic of this text refers to the traversing.TriangulationThe method of surveying called triangulation is based on the trigonometric proposition that if one side and three angles of a triangle are known, the remaining sides can be computed by the law of sines.Furthermore, if the direction of one side is known, the direction of the remaining sides can be determined.And then coordinates of unknown points can be computed by application of trigonometry.TrilaterationSince the advent of long-range EDM instrument, a method of surveying called trilateration was adopted to combine with triangulation.The trilateration is based on the trigonometric proposition that if the three sides of a triangle are known, the three angles can be computed by the law of cosines.Trilateration possesses some advantages over triangulation because the measurement of the distances with EDM instrument is so quick, precise and economical while the measurement of the angles needed for triangulation may be more difficult and expensive. For some precise projects, the combination of triangulation and trilateration which is called triangulateration is applied.TraversingA survey traverse is a sequence of lengths and directions of lines between points on the earth, obtained by or from field angle and distance measurements and used in determining positions of the point. The angles are measured using transits, theodolites, or total stations, whereas the distances can be measured using steel tapes or EDM instruments. A survey traverse may determine the relative positions of the points that if connects in series, and if tied to control stations based on some coordinate system, the positions may be referred to that system. From these computed relative positions, additional data can be measured for layout of new features, such as buildings and roads. Since the advent of EDM equipment, traversing has emerged as the most popular method to establish control networks such as basic area control, mapping, control of hydrographic surveys and construction projects.In engineering surveying, it is ideal way to surveys and dimensional control of route-type projects such as highway, railroad, and pipeline construction. In general, a traverse is always classified as either an open traverse or a closed traverse. An open traverse originates either at a point of known horizontal position with respect to a horizontal datum or at an assumed horizontal position, and terminates at a station whose relative position is not previously known..The open traverse provides no check against mistakes and large errors for its termination at anunknown horizontal position and lack of geometric closure. This lack of geometric closure means that there is no geometric verification possible with respect to the actual positioning of the traverse stations. Thus, the measuring technique must be refined to provide for field verification. At a minimum, distances are measured twice and angles are doubled. Open traverses are often used for preliminary survey for a road or railroad.A closed traverse can be described in any one of the following two ways: ⑴A closed loop traverse, as the name implies, forms a continuous loop, enclosing an area.This type of closed traverse starts at assumed horizontal position or at a known horizontal position with respect to a horizontal datum and ends at the same point. ⑵A connecting traverse starts and ends at separate points, whose relative positions have been determined by a survey of equal or higher order accuracy. A known horizontal position is defined by its geographic latitude and longitude, or by its X and Y coordinates on a grid system.Closed traverses, whether they return to the starting point or not, provide checks on the measured angles and distances.In both cases, the angles can be closed geometrically, and the position closure can be determined mathematically. Therefore they are more desirable and used extensively in control, construction, property, and topographic surveys.As we mentioned above, a closed traverse provides checks on the measured angles and distances. For example, the geometric sum of the interior angles in an n-side closed figure should be (n-2)×180°, but due to systematic and random errors of the measurements, when all the interior angles of a closed traverse are summed, they may or may not total the number of degrees required for geometric closure. The difference between the geometric sum and actual field sum of the interior angles is called angular closure. The total error of angular closure should be distributed evenly to each angle (if all angles were measured with the same precision) before mathematical analysis of the traverse. The important point before doing this is that the overall angular closure can’t be beyond the survey specifications.Closed traverses provide also checks on the measured distances, and the position closure can be determined mathematically, which means that an indication of the consistency of measuring distances as well as angles should be given to a traverse that closes on itself. Theoretically this position closure from the origin back to itself should be zero. But the Errors in the measured distances and angles of the traverses, however, will tend to alter the shape of the traverse, therefore we should compute the algebraic sum of the latitudes and algebraic sum of the departures, and compare them with the fixed latitude and departure of a straight line from the origin to the closing point. By definition, latitude here is the north/south rectangular component of a line and departure is the east/west rectangular component of a line. To differentiate direction, north is considered plus, whereas south is considered minus.Similarly, east is considered plus, whereas west is considered minus.Then the discrepancy should be adjusted by apportioning the closure both in latitudes and in departures on a reasonable basis. The adjusted position of each traverse point is determined with respect to some origin.This position is defined by its Y coordinates and its X coordinates with respect to a plane rectangular coordinate system in which the Y axis is assumed north-south whereas the X axis east-west.。
Unit14 Datums, Coordinates and Conversions(已知坐标转换)A datum is the mathematical model of the Earth we use to calculate the coordinates and elevations on any map , chart, or survey system . Geodetic datum s define the size and shape of the Earth and the origin and orientation of the coordinate systems used to map the Earth . Hundreds of different datum s have been used to frame position descriptions since the first estimates of the Earth’s size were made by Aristotle . But all coordinates reference some particular set of numbers for the size and shape of the Earth . For example, the Global Positioning System (GPS) is based on the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS-84) . Many countries use their own datums when they make their maps and surveys—what we call local datums .(基准是我们用来计算任何地图、海图或测量系统的坐标和海拔的地球的数学模型。
Unit15 Map Projection(投影地图)Map projections are attempts to portray the surface of the Earth or a portion of the Earth on a flat surface . Some distortions of conformality , distance , direction , scale, and area always result from this process . Some projections minimize distortions in some of these properties at the expense of maximizing errors in others . So m e projections are attempts to only mode rately distort all of these properties . No projection can be simultaneously conformal and area-preserving .(地图投影是在平面上描绘地球或部分地球表面的投影。

Uuit1 What is Geomatics? (什么是测绘学)Geomatics Defined(测绘学定义)Where does the word Geomatics come from?(Geomatics-测绘或地球空间信息学,这个名词是怎么来的呢?)GEODESY+GEOINFORMATICS=GEOMA TICS or GEO- for earth and –MA TICS for mathematical or GEO- for Geoscience and -MATICS for informatics. (大地测量学+地理信息学=GEOMATICS 测绘学或者geo 代表地球,matics 代表数学,或者geo 代表地球科学,matics 代表信息学)It has been said that geomatics is many things to many people.(据说测绘学这个词对不同的人有不同的理解)The term geomatics emerged first in Canada and as an academic discipline; it has been introducedworldwide in a number of institutes of higher education during the past few years, mostly by renamingwhat was previously called “geodesy”or “surveying”, and by adding a number of computer science-and/or GIS-oriented courses.(这个术语【term 术语】作为一个学科【academic discipline 学科】第一次形成【emerge】于加拿大;在过去的几年里被全世界的许多高等教育研究机构所熟知,通常是以前的“大地测量学”或“测量学”在引入了许多计算机科学和GIS 方向【或“基于GIS”】的课程后重新命名的。
外文资料:Construction of Digital Mine and Key TechnologiesABSTRACTIn China,the mine is facing a stern challenge over its environmental protection, the limitation on its structure and function within its subsystem,optimization of its limited manpower,financial and material resources and its sustainable development.Digital mine is come up with to deal with all these problems.The Digital Mine can be liken to“a logistics supply chain”,the basic characteristic is the high-speed network,with broadband and two-way communication system,used as“path map”,which shall make sure the fast delivery of all the date within all the relevant enterprises in the country;It consists of vehicles, which refers to the technics of Mine CAD,virtual reality,mine simulation, scientific calculation,artificial intelligence,visualization and office automation;goods,which refers to mine data and mind application model;package, which refers to3DGM(3-Dimensional Geographical Model)and data mining;security system,which refers to the collection and renewal system of mine data;and dispatching system,which refers to MGIS(Mine Geographical Information System),the common carrier of the entire information and office decisions,controlling the use and operation of all vehicles as well as all of the goods production and the package system.The basic structure of the Digital Mine is composed of two parts:digital ground and digital mine.The digital ground is a management information system based on the EPR(Enterprise Resource Planning)and spatial information infrastructure and information system based on3S technology and computer network.The digital mine regards the mine geology and surveying data as basic information data for spatial positioning,furthermore,inputting other relevant information if necessary,such as mining working-face,excavating working-face,underground chamber,mechanical and electronic equipments,ventilation and safety device,underground pipeline and communication and others,forming a spatial database.Thus,the entire mine’sinformation system of management and service and decision support system is established.The Digital Mine is a huge systematic

the digitization of storing,transporting,expressing and applying of all the relevant spatial data and ttribute data,including mine construction, exploration,development,mining,environmental protection and control.In addition, it is also a huge artificial intellectual system that integrates digital construction,digital exploration,digital mining,digital environmental protection and digital forecasting based on data dictionary technology,data warehouse technology,WebGIS,virtual reality technology,multimedia technology, CASE technology and artificial intelligence technology.Key words:digital mine;data dictionary;data warehouse;WebGIS;virtual reality; multimedia;artificial intelligenceINTRODUCTIONThe digital mine is integration understanding and digitized reconstruction of real mine&relevant phenomenon,it aims high-efficient,safe and green mining for mineral resource,which guarantee sustainable growth mine economic,also guarantee ecological stability of mine natural environment,and then realize the sustainability,stability,harmonious of the whole mine system,it is a part of digital mining area,digital earth.Constructing digital mine is a complicated system engineering,which need use these disciplines such as information, geography,mine,computer,mathematics,mechanics,surveying and mapping, geomatics.etc.at present,the study on digital mine is on the primary stage,its target is particular application,till now,digital mine has set up some regional,single-function technological system,for instance,mine geology& surveying information system.With the development of modern science and technology, constructing digital mine,realizing informationization and digitization of mine enterprises become basic strategy of mine enterprise's sustainable development.Till now,regarding research of digital mine,each scholar has studied the function intension of digital mine from ifferent sides.I think digital mine should possess these following functions:①overall digitized for data related to mine(hereafter referred to as mine data).Function includes mine data acquisition,mine data memory, mine ata retrieval,mine data transform,mine data transmission and alternate visit etc.;②using“3S”technology,multimedia,artificial intelligence technology, WebGIS technology,virtual reality technology to realize3D display of ore body and mine and monitor duly mining work,realize artificial intelligence,check and assess mineral stack impact on environment etc.;③with the help of computer technology, network technology.etc.Digital mine should be capable of realizing mine data release,updating,share and exchange between different departments,mine data of the same trade in time;④Digital mine should have functions of predicting, appraising,analyzing etc.,which can offer policymaking and optimization scheme for macroscopic strategy of the government department,drawing up the selling prices of enterprises,etc.1.CONCEPT OF DIGITAL MINEDigital mine regards mine system as prototype,regards geographical coordinate as reference system,regards mine science and technology,information science, artificial intelligence and calculation science as theoretical foundation,regards high-new mine observation technology and network technology as technological support,establishing a series of different levels prototype,system field,material model,mechanics model,mathematical model,information model and computer model,using multimedia and simulation&virtual reality technology to express multidimensional information,at the same time,it is a technological system possessing high resolution,magnanimity data,various data fusion and with the characteristic of space,digitization,internalization,intelligence and visualization.It is virtual mine of informationization,digitization,using the method of informationization&digitalization to research and reconstruct mine, after accomplishment of digital mine,the information involving in the whole mine system can be understood fully at a glance,especially regarding informationconnection between multiple bodies and law of interaction.The concept of digital mine can be grasped from two aspects.on one hand,inherent information of digital mine is digitized(namely,fixed information related to spatial position directly,such as topography on the ground,geology under the shaft, mine scheme,completed engineering under the shaft,and so on),and build digital mine according to three-dimensional coordinate,which portray mine and ore body overall;on the other hand,all relevant information is imbedded to make up a multidimensional digital mine in more extensive meaning.(i.e.relative change information related to spatial position indirectly,such as management of reserves, electromechanical management,personnel management,production management, technical management,etc.),Fig.1shows its structure and interaction:According to the above-mentioned analysis,digital mine should include4layers.(1)Data administration layer:it lies in the first layer in the system,also in lowest layer of the whole system,which is responsible for the collection,memory, preprocessing,transform,inquiry,retrieval,transmission,cross visit of the data and data output,providing the support of the data for other layers.So it is foundation and data source of the whole system.(2)Model layer:it lies in the second layer in the system,which includes designed new model and application of various given geological model,mathematical model, appraising and predicting model,etc.for instance,the tonnage and grade model of mineral deposit,reserves calculation model,and so on.And some models need be designed and set up in the course of practical application,for example,the three-dimensional geological body has fracture,because there is no ready-made model, the users must design and build model again.This layer offers modeling method and data support for constructing new model and applying given model.(3)Technologies and methods layer:the third layer in the system.It refers to applying various new and high technologies to realize the three-dimension display of the mine and ore body,real time supervision on mining work,artificial intelligence and examination and assessment of ore pileup and impact on environment on the basis of model layer(4)Management and application layer:in outermost layer of the system.it includes MIS and office automation,the long-range renewal,share and exchange of data;In addition,relevant analysis and prediction can be carried out depending on various information and processed data derived from other layer,which offer the decision support of each level for policymaker2.ESSENTIAL FEATURES ANDBASIC STRUCTURE OF DIGITAL MINEEssential features of digital mine include:①digital mine regards high-speed enterprise network as“the route chart”.And broadband,high-speed,two-way communication network is gradual set up to guarantee the fast transmission of mine data in the network of mining industry between enterprises and provinces;②it regards high and new technologies,such as mining CAD,virtual reality,mining stimulation,scientific calculation,artificial intelligence,visualization and office automation,as“the vehicle”,which integrates many varieties of data and information;③digital mine regards mining industry data and mining industry application model as“goods”,and the core of digital mine is the data warehouse;④it regards3DGM(three-dimension geography science model)and the data mining as“package”,and regards the acquisition&renewal system of mining industry data as“security”,and regards MGIS as“deployment”.digital mine is public carrier for the whole mine information and office decision,which deploys and controls the use of all kinds of“vehicles”,the manufacture of all kinds of“goods”.The basic structure of digital mine can be roughly divided into two major parts:“digital ground”and“digital shaft”.Digital MineInherent information digitalization Relative change information digitalization round topographic map Underground Geology Mining program Others Reserves Management Mechatronics Management Personnel Management Production Management Others The former is composed of two systems:one is management information system of person,property,matter and process(such as the financial affairs,goods and materials,marketing)based on ERP(Enterprise Resource Planning);the other is spatial information infrastructure and information system based on“3S”technology and computer network technology.“digital shaft”regards geology of coal mine and surveying data as basic information data for spatial positioning,which can form spatial database after these parameters andinformation, such as coalface,leading face of excavation,room in the pit,electromechanical facility of shaft,ventilation safety devices,pipeline in the pit,communication and other information related to shaft,are input into the system.On this basis, management,service and decision-making information system of the whole mine is set up.Fig.3shows the basic structures and interrelation of igital mine.3.KEY TECHNOLOGIES TO DIGITAL MINEThe realization of digital mine involves numerous disciplines and knowledge, they mainly include:the data’dynamic acquisition and real time updating technology,data processing and information extraction technology,spatial data warehouse technology,spatial data modeling technology,virtual reality and stimulation technology,network technology,etc.as shown in Fig4,the research on these technology systems and their integration mode is the key to the realization of digital mine.obviously,data acquisition is the data source of digital mine system,data management is the foundationof digital mine system,data modeling and spatial analysis are the core of digital mine system,visualization release of distributed network is important expression of digital mine.3.1three-dimensional spatial data acquisitionData acquisition is the most basic work for establishing digital mine system, and accuracy of the data determines directly the accuracy of data model and spatial analysis.Mine data acquisition focuses on geological exploitation data,mine surveying data,mining engineering data,etc.due to the characteristic of multiple sources,so effectivecombination and superposition should be conducted according to data model and structure,which guarantees quality and quantity of the data to reach optimum.Except for traditional surveying,electronic surveying,geological drilling,etc.,the three-dimensional spatial data acquisition of mine includes new methods in the following.3.2distributed spatial database and network GIS technologyDistributed database and distributed processing is the development trend.Every specialized department of mine may establish professional database in order to bring the special skill in data acquisition,updating,processing into full play and avoid management difficulty and the network.Jam caused by the centralized type system. These dispersive computers are linked into a multiple computer system through interconnection network,which adopt the distributed computing technology and interoperation technology to realize the resource-sharing.Hypermedia network GIS (WebGIS)and interoperation norm(OpenGIS)are the tools to realize distributed calculation and interoperation between homogenous system(the same software platform)and heterogeneous system(the different software platform)respectively.3.3data model and data structureDigital mine is a typical multidimensional dynamic system.For the sake of abstracting and expressing real mine,spatial-temporal database must be developed to describe complex geographical phenomenon which is dynamic and real-time.The spatial data structure develops on the basis of spatial data model,which is the conventional connotation of a software system,and it indicates“the set of data elements of certain structure”.in order to build spatial-temporaldata model of“digital mine”,the spatial-temporal data structure should be adopted to express it accurately.In this respect of data model of three-dimensional space,till now,numerous researches have been carried out both at home and abroad, and many kinds of three-dimensional data model have been proposed.Generally speaking,data model can divided into plane model,body model and mixed model.The spatial object of mine has the following haracteristics:①great complexity of the geometry and spatial relationship;②uncertainty of geometry characteristic and internal attribute change.When three-dimensional data model and data structure of geology-oriented mine is researched,at first,these characteristics must been enough understood,thus,the most suitable expression mode and modeling method can been achieved.3.4dynamic analog and artificial intelligence technologyThe function of digital mine is not merely information management,the more important one is to possess commanding and decision making functions.Digital mine regards the data warehouse and high-speed network as support,and use artificial intelligence technologies such as data mining and knowledge discovery,expert system to realize decision support function including production deployment command, resource forecasting,environmental protection countermeasure,security warning and emergency processing,the effectiveness is the sign of the successful application of digital mine.4.CONCLUSIONSDigital mine regards computer and network as the key means to realize acquisition,memory,transmission,expression,deep processing of mine information and the application in production,management and policy making,which is huge system composed of many interrelated software and hardware sub-system.The construction of digital mine is a long-term task,which involves many new and high technologies, so unremitting efforts need be made.At present,taking the complexity of the system into consideration,enterprises of mine generally adopt the principle of“design of top layer,gradual division,planning stage by stage,realization subsystem by subsystem”.In the construction of digital mine,due to interrelation between subsystems,some subsystems need other systems to act as the foundation or accessory,for example,the automatic deployment system of opencut mine is best assisted by corresponding model system,relevant optimization systems and auxiliary design system.if the construction is independent,use efficiency and benefit will influenced greatly.In general,the system located in low layer and relative independent system shouldhave priority to be built,such as database and administration system,model system, auxiliary design system and administration system.Now,some software needed in the construction of digital mine may buy ready-made products at the domestic and abroad, but the majority software of the digital mining system need be developed.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTThis work was funded by National Natural Science Foundation of

Definitions of GIS“GIS” is an acronym meaning of Geographic Information System. In order to provide a good understanding of GIS, the following two definitions given by R hind (1989) and the UnitedStates Geological Survey (USGS, 1997) respectively are presented first.1 “a system of hard w are, software, a n d procedures designed to support the capture, management, manipulation , analysis, modeling, and display of spatially referenced data for solving complex planning an d management problems .”2 “a co mputer system capable of assembling , storing, manipulating, and displaying geographically referenced information , i.e., data identified according to their location .”GIS books generally adopt the ideas expressed by these two definitions. These two characteristics distinguish GIS from other types of information systems: The word “Geographic” in GIS explains “spatially” where things are such as the location of nations, states, counties, cities, schools, roads, rivers, lakes, and the list can go on and on. Spatially means where on the earth’s surface an object or feature is located. T his can be as simple as the latitude and longitude of a feature. T he geographic feature or object can be anything of interest.“ Information” in GIS is the “data” or “attribute” information about specific features that we are interested in. The name of the feature, what the feature is, the location of the feature, and any other information that is important. An example could be the name of a city , w here it is located , ho w big it is in square feet ( area) , its population , its population in the past, and any other information that is important . “System” in GIS is the computer software that is written to help people analyze the data, look at the data and combineit in various ways to show relationships or to create geographic models .A GIS can be made up of a variety of software and hardware tools, as long as they are integrated to provide a functional geographic data processing tool.As mentioned above, GIS is a computer system that links geographic information (where things are) with descriptive information (what things are) . Unlike a flat paper map, w here“What you see is w hat you get”, a GIS can present m any layers of different information. To use a paper map, all you do is unfold it. Spreadout before you is a representation of cities and roads, mountains and rivers, railroads, and political boundaries. T he cities are represented by little dots or circles, the roads by black lines, the mountain peaks by tiny triangles, and the lakes by s m all blue areas similar to the real lakes . A digital map is not muchmore difficult to use than a paper map. As on the paper map, there are dots or points that represent features on the map such as cities, lines that represent features such as roads, and small areas that represent features such as lakes . All this information—where the point is located , how long the road is, and even how many square miles a lake occupies—is stored as layers in digital for m at as a pattern of ones and zeros in a computer . Think of this geographic data as layers of information underneath the computer screen. Each layer represents a particular the m e or feature of the map. O ne the m e could be made up of all the roads in an area. Another me could represent all the lakes in the same area. Yet another could represent all the cities. These themes can be laid on top of one another, creating a stack of information about the same geographic area. E ach layer can be turned off and on, as if you were peeling a layer off the stack or placing it back on. You control the amount of information about an area that you want to see, at anytime, on any specific map. The technology components of a GIS can be explained interims of hard ware, software and human resources. GIS hard ware includes: computers, computer configuration/ net works, input devices, printers, and storage systems. Computers for GIS usage can be P Cs or supercomputers. These computers can be stand-alone units or can be hooked into a network environment. Input devices include digitizers and scanners. Printers and plotters are used to produce a hardcopy map. GIS storage systems include: optical disks, magnetic disks (such as a hard drive), floppy disks or magnetic tapes.GIS software includes both GIS program and special application packages, such as digital Terrain modeling and network analysis. The main difference between GIS software programs and desktop mapping programs is the ability of GIS programs to perform spatial analysis. ARC/ INFO by Environ mental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) Inc. is one of typical examples of GIS software packages. Desktop mapping programs offer m any of the same features, as a GIS, but their ability to support spatial analyses are limited. They are developed to satisfy individual user needs for mapping presentations. MapInfo developed by MapInfo Corp is an example of popular desktop mapping programs. Human resources used to operate a GIS typically include: operational staff, technicalprofessional staff, and management personnel Operational staffers people such as (1) cartographers, who monitor the design of map displays, thestandards for map symbols and standard map series, (2) data capturers, who converts map into digital form and (3) potential usersof a GIS . Technical professional staff include (1) information analysts w ho solve particular user problems and satisfy their information needs, (2) system administrators, who are responsible for keeping the system (hardware/ software) operational , (3) programmers, who translate the application specifications prepared by the analyst into programs and (4) the database administrator, w ho assists the analysts, programmers and users to organize geographic features into layers, identify sources of data , develop coding structures for no graphics data, and document information about the contents of the databases . Management personnel include (1 ) the manager, who monitors the daily performance of the GIS project Implementation team and manages the output production as required by the organization and (2) the Quality Assurance Coordinator w ho manages the output of the final product to ensure that it meets the conversion specification and data acceptance plan. H o w a GIS Works:A GIS works by providing a way to capture or input data , store , retrieve and manage the data , manipulate and analyze the data , and finally a w ay of displaying that data as a map or as a document or both . Let’s take a closer look as each of these aspects of GIS.Data Input: All GIS data ha s to be in a digital form at so whether it’s a report, a photo, a map, or information gathered in the field , it has to be made digital . Obtaining geographic data to insert into a GIS is a large subject in which includes a number of different approaches. One of the most common ways to collect spatial geographic data is to perform a physical survey. This includes surveying the land, underwater areas, and underground features of the earth (which are referred to as field survey, hydrographic survey and mining survey respectively) .Basic forms of data input include: (1) Typing: Reports, survey documents,population statistics, etc., all have to be entered into the computer preferably in a data base for m at or as tabular data . (2) Scanning: Paper maps such as topographic maps, aerial photographs, remotely sensed images if not already in a digital for m at need to be scanned and then georeferenced or georectified. When a picture or a map or an aerial photo is georeferenced it will open in a GIS program in the right place on a map in relation to other map objects being viewed. They will be in the proper place spatially. (3) Digitizing: currently digitizing is the most common method for converting existing maps and images into digital form. Digitizingis basically tracing points, lines, or areas fro m a paper map , or aerial photo so that instead of a photograph or a raster image , there is no w a digital line graphic or vector file .(4) GPS data capture: Data can also be placed in a GIS as points, lines, and polygons from a GPS unit if it has the capability of recording such information. (5) Aerial photography/remote sensing: T his is an increasingly popular way to gather spatial data. Aerial photographs are taken fro m an aircraft, after which they are measured and interpreted. Similarly, satellite re mote sensing can be interpreted for physical features and attributes. (6)Censuses: Censuses conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau gather a variety of demographic data such as population , age structure , sex ratio, race co m position , employment rates . (7) Statistics: Statistics are a set of mathematical methods used to collect and analyze data .These methods include the collection and study of data at different time intervals and at a fixed location, providing information for yearbooks, weather station reports, etc. This information often has a spatial component and can thus be incorporated into a GIS. (8) Tracking: Tracking is a process of collecting attribute data on changes that occur at a location over a period of time. Examples of tracking include: monitoring the change of an ecosystem, and real-time monitoring of a moving objects such as vehicles.Data Storage, Retrieval, and Management: Different types of information required for a GIS require storage which allows the information to be updated and queried for analysis by the user. There are two types of information to be stored; spatial data and attribute data, which is the topic of next text. Data Manipulation and Analysis: A good system and/ or software package allows the user to define and execute spatial and attribute procedures. T his is commonly thought of as the heart of the GIS. Overlaying, buffering, modeling, and analysis are so m e of the methods used in building a coverage or project. It also takes the users knowledge to recognize what is seen in the resulting map and data. The power of GIS is in the analysis of data.Data Output: Usually this is a map or graphic, which the user has generated after analyzing the data. School districts can use GIS to help the m in decisions like school boundaries and then create a map to distribute to the community. Tabular data and reports can be generated as w ell to help explain the details seen in the map or graphic and ho w the conclusions w ere derived.地理信息系统基础GIS定义GIS是一个只取首字母的地理信息系统意义的缩写词。

The relative positions and movements of the stars as well catalogued and so with a combination of altitude, direction and time observations to the stars, the position in terms of latitude and longitude of a ground station can be calculated. There if less call for direct position determination nowadays since most countries are covered by a primary horizontal control scheme, and the absolute position of any new local survey word can be established by including a national reference point in the local survey.In very remote areas, or where the terrain is totally unsuitable for the classic survey methods of triangulation and traverse, there is, however, a need for direct position determination. For the majority of this work, visual observation to the stars has been replaced by electromagnetic measurements to or from artificial earth satellites. In addition, the relative positions of survey stations can be determined directly by inertial techniques originally developed for aircraft navigation.1.1 Inertial PositioningA pair of gyros are incorporated in a position fixing device known as the Auto-Surveyor manufactured by Litton Systems. It has originated from an aircraft navigation system, which was developed for military applications into its present three-dimensional survey system. ‘Hardware’ consists of (i)the inertial measuring unit, (ii)a computer ,(iii)a cassette recorder,(iv)a display and control unit and (v) the power supply .These items can be placed anywhere within a road vehicle or helicopter providing that the operator is close to (iv).The measuring unit contains a gyro-stabilized platform with two air-bearing gyroscopes in four gimbal mountings which keep its three orthogonal axis oriented in space in a north-east=downwards relationship . Each axis also has a sensor-torquer type of acclerometer which defines acceleration in the particular direction via a quantitizer system feeding the computer .This is pre-programmed to compute the survey as it is carried out and to control the system (see Fig.1)Before staring the survey an alignment drill carried out at the origin station. This is said to have a duration of about one hour (that for the survey is restricted to some four hours or so) and the platform levels itself with respect to the local vertical and aligns its nothing axis with the local meridian so that the accelerometers are in the directions of north, east and down. Simultaneously the computer monitors the biases of the system and evaluates the initial conditions for a Kalman filter enables an evaluation of theperformance of the system by comparison of the errors arising during the survey to a priori data relating to the statistical nature of errors which navigation instruments are likely to contain.When the alignment is complete the known coordinates and elevation of the station are fed in by the operator and the traverse can begin. The orthogonal movements are sensed by the accelerometers and, at intervals of sixteen milliseconds, the signals to the computer are doubly integrated into distances of displacement with respect to the origin. In the Auto-Surveyor ‘z-increments’ accumulate as elevation differences, whilst the other two increments are used to compute values of geodetic latitude and longitude on the pre-programmed reference spheroid. The computer also directs the platform gimbal torques to place the platform tangential to the spheroid with the north axis correctly oriented.At approximately four minute intervals the vehicle is halted a ‘zero velocity updating’ is carried out. This takes about thirty seconds and the platform is re-leveled, with respect to local vertical, and effectively resets ’vertical zero‘. As mentioned above, previous calculations and platform torquing are with respect to the reference spheroid so that the amount of torque used for the re-leveling is a measure of the directional change of deviation from the vertical. Since the vehicle is stationary, the accelerometers should read zero as should the velocities by mtegration so that when the Kalman filter scrutinizes these values it can establish accelerometer errors due to their drift, which is non-linear, and it uses the velocity errors to establish the rate of change of drift; precise integration is not possible after four minutes due to that drift. Platform re-leveling takes place after the adjustment.The survey now continues with successive updating stops and also with halts at the survey stations where the same process occurs. At the terminal station known coordinates and elevations are entered as updating information and a zero velocity update is carried out; the Kalman filter carries out a smoothing adjustment data and results of the smoothing are registered on the recorder.Traverse lines are normally measured in two directions, occupying the same stations , discrepancies then indicating effects of gyrodrift on platform alignment .Standard errors of ±0.20 m in position of points at 10 km separation are achievable with a similar value for heighting when a road vehicle is used.Ferranti manufacture a corresponding system in the UK, and reference can be made to a report in the New Civil Engineer, 17 January 1980, on its value to the highway engineer. This report refers specifically to their Inertial Road Surveyor although it indicates that systems for land surveys, borehole surveys and underwater surveys are available too.2 GPS IN NA VIGATIONAL APPLICATIONS2.1 INTRODUCTIONGlobal Positioning System (GPS) has for several years been a buzzword for professionals in many fields including surveying, geodesy, GIS, meteorology, and geodynamics. The reason for this GPS wonder perhaps lies in the superior capability of GPS: it offers solutions to many problems that we could not or felt difficult to solve, and also enables us to do many things better than before. Navigation is one of these things, which has been greatly changed from the development of GPS.This paper will provide an overview of GPS as applied to navigation. It will first describe briefly the principles of GPS .The different GPS based positioning methods in navigation will then be discussed, followed by an review of GPS based systems for air, land and marine navigation.2.2 PRINCIPLES OF GPS POSITIONINGGPS is a satellite based passive positioning system that was initially designed primarily for military use .It was developed and has been maintained by the United States Department of Defense (US DoD). The system is now used by both the military and civilian users to obtain high accuracy position, velocity andtime information, 24 hours a day, under all weather conditions, and anywhere in the world. The system was 1993 and full operational capability (FOC) in April 1995.2.2.1 The Components of GPSOne common way to look at GPS is to resolve it into three segments:The space segment refers to GPS satellites that are orbiting at an altitude of about 20,200 km above the earth surface. The full operational capacity of GPS is achieved with 24 active satellites. There are currently 27 operational satellites, three of that are the active spares that can be used as replacements when the active satellites are out of services. The key components in satellite are the antennas sending and receiving signals, two large wings covered with solar cells to generate power for the satellite to consume, and atomic clocks that are accurate to about 1 second in 3,000,000 years.The control segment consists of 5 monitor stations, 3 ground antennas, and 1 master control station. The monitor stations passively track all satellites in view, accumulating ranging data. The tracked data are processed at the master control station to determine satellite orbits and to update each satellite’s Navigation Message. The updated information is transmitted to each satellite via the ground antennas.The user segment is anybody who has a GPS receiver. The surveyors, the navigators and the GIS data collectors are examples of the users.The signals that GPS satellites send out consist of two codes, the coarse acquisition (C/A) code and the precise (P) code, and a Navigation Message. The GPS codes are just like a series of 1’s and 0’s that are arranged into certain sequences, Figure 1. The C/A code is used for the standard positioning service (SPS) available to all users. The service offers a positional accuracy of about 100 m horizontally and 156 m vertically at the 95% probability level. The P code is used for the Precise Positioning Service (PPS) and can bi accessed only by authorized users such as the US military and its allies. The service provides a positional accuracy of about 15 m horizontally and 25 m vertically at the 95% probability level.The GPS Navigation Message contains such information as the orbital elements of the satellites, clock behavior, and an almanac that gives the approximate data for each active satellite. Two carrier frequencies on L-band, L1 and L2 are used to carry the signals described above. L1 has a wave-length of about 19 cm (1575.42MHz) and L2 a wave-length of about 24 cm (1227.60MHz). Both L1 and L2 are microwave frequencies and can penetrate the atmosphere. L1 carries both the C/A and the p codes and L2 the p code only. The Navigation Message is carried on both of the two frequencies.To the more sophisticated users such as the surveyors, positioning using the code information cannot fulfill their accuracy requirements, say at the centimeter or millimeter level. In this case, the L1 or L2, or both L1 and L2 carrier phases are also observed and used for positioning.2.2.2 The Working Principles of GPSGPS measures positions by measuring distances. GPS satellites have known orbits and therefore known positions at any instant time. Therefore, if the distances to three or more GPS satellites can be measured from a point anywhere on near the earth surface, the three-dimensional position of the point can bi calculated, Figure 2.The distances between the point and the satellites are determined either using the code or the carrier phase observations. The same GPS codes are generated at the same time by both the satellites and the GPS receiver. When the receiver receives the code information from the satellites, it correlates the signals it generates and those received from the satellites, Figure 3, which can determine the time that takes for the GPS signal to travel from a satellite to the receiver. The time can then be used to calculate the distance.Figure3. Time measurement by code correlationFigure4. Carrier waves and phase measurementAs the clock of the receiver has usually a much lower accuracy than those on a GPS satellite, the clock time is in practice commonly considered as an unknown parameter which is solved together with the position of the receiver point. In this case, signals from at least four GPS satellites are required, as there are four unknown values to be solves for.When carrier phase observations are used in GPS positioning, the distance between a receiver point and a satellite is determined using.Distance = λλ∆+N (1)Where λ is the wavelength of the carrier wave; N is the whole wave numbers counted from a satellite to the receiver and λ∆ is the length that is shorter than one wavelength, Figure4. λ∆ is determined directly from the phase measurements. N is the integer ambiguity and is usually solved for based on continuous phase observations over some extended time.2.2.3 Pros and Cons of GPSSome general points on the advantages of GPS are given here only. First, it covers the whole globe spatially. Hence the word ‘Global’ in is its name, and continuously in time for 24 hour a day. Second, the system offers high positioning accuracy at an affordable price to the user. Besides, GPS is convenient to use in many applications.GPS also has its disadvantages. Perhaps the biggest problem that it has is the requirement of line of sight to GPS satellites. GPS signals can penetrate the atmosphere but not any solid objects such as buildings, trees, and mountains. This requirement seriously limits the use as buildings, trees, and mountains. This requirement seriously limits the use of GPS in environments such as dense urban areas and underground. Another problem with GPS is the multipath effects that contribute to significant errors when a receiver is surrounded by smooth reflective surfaces.3 GPS BASED POSITIONING METHODS IN NA VIGATIONGPS was designed primarily as a tool for navigation. It has been successfully applied for the navigation of vehicles such as cars, ships and airplanes, as well as for the guidance of weaponry objects such as missiles. This section will look at the different positioning methods of using GPS in navigation.3.1 Single Receiver PositioningThe simplest way to used GPS for navigation is to carry a GPS receiver whenever you go. The receiver can offer in real-time the SPS positioning accuracy, that was discussed earlier, as long as signals from four or more GPS satellites can be received. Since such an application is very basic, almost any commercial GPS receivers on the market can be used for this purpose. Many of the receiver units cost less than US$100. This simple GPS positioning method is used very commonly for recreational activities such as hiking and fishing, Fieldwork in remote areas such as in the desert or forest, and travel on the sea.3.2 Differential GPS (DGPS) PositioningIf the positioning accuracy described above is insufficient, an easy and affective way to increase the accuracy is to use differential GPS. In this operation mode, two GPS receivers are required, and the other carried around to where the position needs to be determined. In this case, the first receiver is called the reference station and the second the roving station.If the user is close enough to the reference station, various GPS errors, such as the effect of the atmosphere, are very similar for both of the two stations. The reference station can be used to determine the errors in the three coordinate components. Corrections can be worked out for the position of the roving station based on the errors determined at the reference station. The positioning accuracy can be greatly improved by doing this ‘differential’operation. DGPS technique has been repeatedly demonstrated to achieve a positioning accuracy of 2 to 5m over baselines up to 1,000 km.If real-time positioning is required, a data communication link between the two stations is required. A common approach is to use a pair of radios if the distance between the two stations is short, say within a few kilometers. For distances up to a few hundred kilometers, a broadcasting station can also be used to send the correction messages to the entire designated area. For example, Hong Kong has established a permanent GPS reference station on its Kau Yi Chau island. A transmitter is used to broadcast correction messages to an area of 500 km in diameter which covers the entire Hong Kong region. The claimed accuracy of the system is within 1 m.The simple differential operation described above has relatively limited coverage, and is restricted by the coverage of the terrestrial communication system. Besides, the positioning accuracy decreases as the separation communication system. Besides, the positioning accuracy decreases as the separation between the user and the reference station increases. A technique called Wide Area Differential GPS (WADGPS) can be used to overcome the problems of the simple differential method. WADGPS uses a number of GPS reference stations to cover a wide area such as a whole country or continent. The GPS positioning errors are separately modeled and applied to the roving user station in a way that breaks the position dependence. Therefore the limitation in the navigation accuracy due to the user-reference station separation can be largely eliminated. Positioning accuracy of about 2 m and 3 m forthe horizontal and the height components respectively is achieved over base-lines ranging from 2,000 km to 3,500 km. The limitation in the coverage of the data links is also overcome by using geostationary communication satellites.3.3 GPS Aided with Additional Sensors and InformationAs said above, the requirement of direct line of sigh to GPS satellites makes it very difficult to use GPS in restricted areas such as high rise cities. For example, recent tests have shown that only about 30 percent of Hong Kong can receive signals from four or more GPS satellites. One way to solve the problem is to aid GPS with sensors such as compasses, odometers, inertial navigation systems (INS), which basically use gyros and accelerometers to the determination of positions, or additional information such as existing maps and databases.Pseudolite, a pseudo-satellite as its name implies, is a device that can transmit GPS-like signals, A pseudolite can be placed at strategic locations such as on a tall building at a road intersection to transmit signals to nearby areas. The signals form a pseudolite can be treated in the same way as those from a real satellite.GPS can also be used in combination with GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System), a system developed and maintained by Russia. The design and working principles of GLONASS are to certain extent similar to GPS. Efforts have been made by both researchers and instrument manufacturers to integrate the two systems to achieve better positioning accuracy and especially better satellite coverage in difficult environments. Receivers capable of receiving signals from both GPS and GLONASS satellites have been developed. A currently undergoing international GLONASS Experiment (IGEX-98) campaign organized by IAG, IERS,IGS, and ION is expected to establish a global network and bring research and international collaboration together.The system integrity and future continuity of GLONASS has always been a concern, especially when the number of GLONASS satellites in space has dropped dramatically in 1997-1998.The accuracy of differential GPS+GLONASS has been reported to be better than 0.5m4 GPS BASED NA VIGATION SYSTEMSVarious GPS based navigation systems have been developed. This section will take a brief look at these and the basic requirements for land, air and marine navigation.4.1 Airplane NavigationIt is understandable that navigation has different requirements under different circumstances. There are however some general considerations when designing different navigation systems, which are the accuracy, availability, continuity and integrity of the systems.Although GPS and GLONASS combined provide very good positioning capability, they still however, when used alone, cannot meet the criteria as a sole means for navigation in aircraft navigation and landing guidance, or for safety-critical use in the marine and land environment. To meet these requirements, the GNSS-1 and GNSS-2(GNSS also comes from Global Navigation Satellite System) have been proposed. GNSS-1 is a satellite navigation system having GPS and/or GLONASS as backbone, augmented by other techniques. GNSS-1 is expected to meet the requirement for sole means of navigation up to non-precision approach and Cat 1 precision approach. GNSS-2 is the second generation satellite navigation system, which can meet all users requirements, independent of any other means of radio navigation. Though the system architecture of GNSS-2 has not been defined yet, its design goal is to provide sole means use for Category Ⅲ2b precision approach for landing.The following are some of the developments in the scope of GNSS-1:European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)In Europe, a Tri-Partite Group made up of the European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation (EUROCONTROL), the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Commission (EC) jointly manages the EGNOS. The EC is responsible for institutional and policy issues and funding. EUROCONTROL defines the user requirements and is also involved in the test and validation phase of the system development. ESA manages the development of EGNOS within GNSS-1.The coverage of EGNOS will be the footprint of Inmarsat Atlantic Ocean Regions East (AORE) and Indian Ocean Regions (IOR) as EGNOS uses these satellites as core transponder of the system. EGNOS is planned to reach its Initial Operational Capability, (IOC) in 1999and Final Operational Capability (FOC) in 2001. FOC is intended to meet sole-means requirements for en-route to Cat-I.EGNOS will include GPS/GLONASS. GPS-like ranging system, wide area differential systems, ranging and integrity monitoring stations (RIMS), and geostationary integrity channel. When the Final Operational Capability (FOC) is declared the use of GPS/(GLONASS)/EGNOS/RAIM(Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring) as sole means of navigation for up to Cat-I service shall be reached.Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS)WAAS has been developed by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The ground network of the system includes 25 reference stations and 2 master stations providing differential and ionospheric corrections for improved accuracy. To achieve the various requirements of all phases of flight up to Cat-I, WAAS will also broadcast integrity messagesand additional GPS-like signal, beside the GPS differential corrections. The initial supplemental service, phase I of the system, has been scheduled for September 2000.The WAAS aims at providing service for precise up to Cat-I. Local Area Augmentation Sys-tern(LAAS), which is similar in principle to WAAS but with a smaller area of coverage and higher positioning accuracy, will be employed for more stringent requirements of Cat-II/III precise approaches.MTSAT Satellite Based Augmentation System (MSAS).The Japanese Multi-functional Transport Satellite (MTSAT) Satellite Based Augmentation System (MSAS) is developed by the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) to support sole means navigation services for en-route to precision approach phases of flight. The first MTSAT is scheduled to be launched in 1999. Initial phase I (Cat-I) of the system is to be completed by 2001 and the final MSAS capability (CAT-II/III) is scheduled at 2005.MASA in designed to provide Air Traffic (ATS) and meteorological mission. The system configuration is similar to the US WAAS. Consisting of ground network for broadcasting integrity and correction data and to provide additional GPS-like ranging system from geostationary satellite for improving availability and continuity.The development of GNSS-2 has to consider institutional issues regarding the ownership, control and interoperability of the systems. With the consent of the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) members, an interoperability working group has been set up and held its first meeting on July 1998 to discuss these issues. The interoperability demonstration for WAAS/EGNOA and WAAS/MSAS has been scheduled.4.2 Land Vehicle NavigationLand vehicle navigation systems need basically to provide information on, for example, the real-time position of the vehicle, and the shortest route to travel from one place to another or the route that takes the shortest time to travel. A complete navigation system is also supplemented by real-time display of the position of the vehicle on a map. Besides, at a central control station, a wireless data communication link is also required between each vehicle and the control station.Intelligent Transport System (ITS) is an area of interests to many researchers as well as government transport departments. Beside the functionality of a basic land vehicle navigation system discussed above, an ITS may also include features such as automatic toll paying, intelligent control of traffic signals, etc.The block of satellite signals by objects such as tall buildings, bridges, pedestrians, and surrounding vehicles is a major problem for satellite based land vehicle navigation ,especially in dense and high rise cities like Hong Kong ,Therefore, it is often necessary to supplement a satellite based positioning system with additional sensors such as compasses, odometers and INS. To achieve the required positioning accuracy in difficult areas while keeping the cost of the navigation system low is still an area of research.4.3 Marine NavigationThe foremost requirement of a marine navigation system is to provide information on the position and direction of a ship when traveling on an open sea. It is also necessary Marine navigation can use a single GPS receiver, DGPS or the more sophisticated systems such as a GNSS de-pending on the navigational requirements.5 CONCLUSIONSIn this paper , an introduction to GPS has been given ; various GPS-based positioning methods , including using a single GPS receiver , differential GPS, GPS aided with additional sensors and information , were discussed ;an overview of the development f GPS based navigation technology has been given; and some existing systems for air , land and marine navigation have also been briefly reviewed .GPS is a new and powerful tool for many positioning applications such as surveying and navigation. It offers an unprecedented coverage both spatially and in time. The system is easy to apply and provides a high positioning accuracy at a relatively low cost to the end user. The major disadvantages of GPS include the requirement of line of sight to GPS satellites and multipath errors.It seems clear that, to provide safer, more efficient and less costly means of navigation services, satellite-based navigation system will be an integrated system consisting of different sensors and technologies and it will provide global coverage and interoperability with integrity.自动定位技术1 定位技术传统的直接定位是依靠天文学上的观测。
