Abstract
Abstract Background: Determining the location, boundaries and areas of land properties accurately in the land cadastre is essential. The named data are provided using coordinates, acquired from field measurements. Since 2008, the Slovenian land cadastre claims positioning in the national realization of the ETRS89, so the GNSS use is practically indispensable. Objectives: Contrary to real-time, we can change parameters in GNSS post-processing. The aim of this paper is to simulate different measurement conditions for GNSS in order to determine how to acquire the best possible coordinates for further use in land area calculation. Methods/Approach: Simulations of obstacles near points followed the increasing of the cut-off angle. Furthermore, shortening the observation interval resulted in different occupation duration. The final condition evaluation for coordinate quality acquisition followed from fuzzy logic. Results: The results show that for short baselines, occupation duration is the most important factor in acquiring high quality coordinates and avoiding the multipath. Differences in coordinates from specific strategies can sometimes exceed the tolerance and evidently affect the area calculation. Conclusions: The findings confirm that only good measurement conditions lead to high quality coordinates and well-defined areas of land properties, which are the fundamental factor in relation to the issues of property valuation and assessing land taxes or rents
Highlights
The initiation of GNSS into geodesy has drastically changed the methods of positioning
The goal of experiments was to gain and compare results in post-processing of relative GNSS carrier-phase positioning based on the identical baseline of a short length (4 km)
The experiments of the measurements conditions impacts in GNSS positioning can be useful in everyday geodetic practice
Summary
The initiation of GNSS into geodesy has drastically changed the methods of positioning. GNSS allows us to determine global coordinates, which present the basis for land property’s boundaries determination as well as its area calculation The latter presents the basis in land management applications and is an important factor on the issues of land property valuation and assessing the land taxes or rents (Bird et al, 2004). The aim of this paper is to simulate different measurement conditions for GNSS in order to determine how to acquire the best possible coordinates for further use in land area calculation. Conclusions: The findings confirm that only good measurement conditions lead to high quality coordinates and well-defined areas of land properties, which are the fundamental factor in relation to the issues of property valuation and assessing land taxes or rents
