Abstract
Kinematic GPS positioning has been widely used, but the available commercial software systems most are only suitable for processing the short or medium range kinematic baseline. However, airborne surveying typical has few hundreds kilometer, even more than one thousand kilometers kinematic baseline as logistic limitation in some extreme case, e.g. airborne surveying in polar region. It is a real challenge to the traditional kinematic GPS software based on double differenced model. Since Zumbergre et al. demonstrated the perfect performance of Precise Point Positioning (PPP) in both static and kinematic applications, the PPP attracted a lot attentions and opened a new alternative to precise kinematic positioning. In this paper software, named TriP, based on PPP technology, developed by the first author will be introduced briefly. And then in-situ GPS data from airborne survey, in the Arctic region, was analyzed. Both static simulation test and flight kinematic test demonstrate that cm to dm RMS could be achieved with TriP in kinematic case. The accuracy could satisfy kinematic positioning in airborne survey applications.
