Coordinate correction algorithm for WLAN indoor positioning

In the fingerprint matching-based wireless local area network(WLAN) indoor positioning system,Kalman filter(KF) is usually applied after fingerprint matching algorithms to make positioning results more accurate and consecutive.But this method,like most methods in WLAN indoor positioning field,fails to consider and make use of users' moving speed information.In order to make the positioning results more accurate through using the users' moving speed information,a coordinate correction algorithm(CCA) is proposed in this paper.It predicts a reasonable range for positioning coordinates by using the moving speed information.If the real positioning coordinates are not in the predicted range,it means that the positioning coordinates are not reasonable to a moving user in indoor environment,so the proposed CCA is used to correct this kind of positioning coordinates.The simulation results prove that the positioning results by the CCA are more accurate than those calculated by the KF and the CCA is effective to improve the positioning performance.

Analysis of S^(p)_(q) current systems by using corrected geomagnetic coordinates

The S^p_q equivalent current system of the quiet day geomagnetic variation in the polar region is very complicated. It is composed of several currents, such as the ionospheric dynamo current and the auroral electrojet caused by the field aligned current. S p q is unsymmetrical in both polar regions. In this paper, the S p q current systems are analyzed in the corrected geomagnetic coordinates (CGM) instead of the conventional geomagnetic coordinates (GM), and the symmetries of the S p q current in different systems are compared. Then the causes of S p q asymmetry in the GM coordinates are discussed; the effects of each component in S p q are determined.

Study of the effects on GPS coordinate time series caused by higher-order ionospheric corrections calculated using the DIPOLE model

As one of the main error sources in high-precision Global Positioning System （GPS） data processing, higher-order ionospheric （HOI） delays cause significant effects on coordinate time series that cannot be ignored in analyses of long time series. Typically two geomagnetic models, DIPOLE model and Inter- national Geomagnetic Reference Field （IGRF） model, are used for calculating HOI corrections. This paper investigates the effects of HOI correction caused by the DIPOLE model on coordinate time series. GPS data from 104 globally distributed International GNSS Service （IGS） stations spanning from January, 1999 to December, 2003 were reprocessed following up-to-date processing strategies utilizing GAMIT and GLOBK software. Two coordinate time series solutions before and after applying HOI corrections using the DIPOLE model were derived for studying the effects in terms of seasonal variations and noise amplitudes. The results show that after applying the HOI corrections calculated with DIPOLE, the noise amplitudes of the coordinate time series increased, especially in the north and east directions, and the increased amplitudes of the flicker noise were larger than those of the white noise. Furthermore, spurious periodic signals that were probably introduced by the HOI corrections from the DIPOLE model were also found. Moreover, an apparent increase was confirmed for the power spectra of most of the stations, especially in the north direction, and the amplitudes of both the annual and semi-annual signals also increased in the north and east directions. It can be inferred that the quality of the external data sources such as the geomagnetic model might be the key factors that lead to the above results. The results also suggest that we should be very careful when the DIPOLE model is used for HOI corrections.

Analyses and Solutions of Errors on GPS/GLONASS Positioning

This paper focuses mainly on the major errors and their reduction approaches pertaining to combined GPS/GLONASS positioning.To determine the difference in the time reference systems,different receiver clock offsets are introduced with respect to GPS and GLONASS system time.A more desirable method for introducing a independent unknown parameter of fifth receiver,which can be canceled out when forming difference measurements,is discussed.The error of orbit integration and the error of transformation parameters are addressed in detail.Results of numerical integration are given.To deal with the influence of ionospheric delay,a method for forming dual_frequency ionospheric free carrier phase measurements is detailed.

The role of the unfolded protein response in myelination

The production,transport and integration of myelin components into the membrane during development is a highly coordinated and regulated process that relies heavily on the endoplasmic reticulum（ER）,a sub-cellular organelle that is the principal site of membrane assembly.Ribosomes on the rough ER allow translation of proteins such as proteolipid protein（PLP）prior to correct folding,

Payload topography camera of Chang'e-3

Chang＇e-3 was China＇s first soft-landing lunar probe that achieved a successful roving exploration on the Moon. A topography camera functioning as the lander＇s “eye” was one of the main scientific payloads installed on the lander. It was composed of a camera probe, an electronic component that performed image compression, and a cable assembly. Its exploration mission was to obtain optical images of the lunar topography in the landing zone for investigation and research. It also observed rover movement on the lunar surface and finished taking pictures of the lander and rover. After starting up successfully, the topography camera obtained static images and video of rover movement from different directions, 360？panoramic pictures of the lunar surface around the lander from multiple angles, and numerous pictures of the Earth. All images of the rover, lunar surface, and the Earth were clear, and those of the Chinese national flag were recorded in true color. This paper describes the exploration mission, system design, working principle, quality assessment of image compression, and color correction of the topography camera. Finally, test results from the lunar surface are provided to serve as a reference for scientific data processing and application.

Coordinate difference homogenization matching method for motion correction in 3D range-intensity correlation laser imaging

This Letter proposes a coordinate difference homogenization matching method to solve motion influence in three-dimensional（3D） range-intensity correlation laser imaging. Firstly, features and feature pairs of gate images are obtained by speeded-up robust figures and bi-directional feature matching methods. The original mean value of the feature-pair coordinate differences is calculated. Comparing the coordinate differences with the original mean value, the wrong feature pairs are removed, and then an optimized mean value is updated. The final feature-pair coordinates are re-registered based on the updated mean value. Thus, an accurate transformation is established to rectify motion gate images for 3D reconstruction. In the experiment, a 3D image of a tower at 780 m is successfully captured by our laser gated imaging system on a pan-tilt device.
