Total Least Squares Fitting Estimation Model for GPS Height Transformation

In the current research on the total least squares method in the conversion of GPS height, the calculation of the conversion parameter and elevation abnormities of the check points are generally performed in two steps, and only consider the error in the coefficient matrix used to calculate the parameters; errors in the coordinate of the check point are ignored. In view of this gap, we put forward a total least squares fitting estimation model of GPS height transformation, that combines the calculation of fitting parameters with the calculation of elevation abnormities at inspection points, and considers the position error of all points. Collocation calculation experiemental results verify the feasibility of this method. These test results show that the method can effectively improve the accuracy of elevation conversion.
