Reverse RTK Data Streaming for Low-Cost Landslide Monitoring

Geoinformation for Informed Decisions

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography ((LNGC))

Abstract

This chapter describes the preliminary study of real-time data streaming in support of the proposed low-cost landslide monitoring system using the Reverse Real-Time Kinematic (RRTK) technique. The RRTK algorithm was implemented by streaming raw Global Positioning System (GPS) data of both the reference and roving station(s) to the control centre for processing, and transmission of the position solution to the roving station. The main purpose of the data streaming was to investigate the quality of the measurements, for utilization in landslide modelling and analysis in near real-time. A novel methodology using a high pass filtering technique was implemented, to detect outliers in the observations. Also, the autocorrelation of GPS time series was investigated.
