In recent years, there is a strong urge to introduce GPS systems which can role in reference points and measure global positions to the field of structural measurements. In this study, a new structural measurement system using low-cost L1 single frequency GPS receivers instead of conventional expensive RTK L1&L2 dual frequency GPS receiver. This system consists of GPS OEM board, GPS antenna, wireless access points, and monitoring program based on Lambda method and makes it possible to apply to monitor a static behavior of large scaled Infra-structures, such as dams, tall buildings, road slops.

The GPS ability for detecting the deformation is experimently tested by analyzing how precisely GPS can detect the true movement value of the GPS test bed with three axis. As the result, we found that GPS can detect the deformation with the precision of 2 mm in horizontal componts and 8 mm in vertical component for the short baseline of 16 km. The applicable possibilities of GPS for measuring the structure deformation are discussed on the base of this result.

To get the highly-accurate and precise position of a GPS receiver, they should consider the state-of-the-art GPS force and measurement models. Especially, the phase center variations (PCV) of a GPS antenna can cause several centimeters of positioning errors in the vertical direction. In this study, we implemented four different models of PCV and evaluated their impact on the computed coordinates. The test data were taken from the 14 National Geography Information Institute permanent GPS stations and 30 Minisry of Government Administration and Home Affairs sites. For different combinations of calibration methods, an average of 1.3-2.6cm of height difference was observed. Also, we found a maximum error of ${\sim}4mm$ in the estimates of the precipitable water vapors.

GPS/Meteorology technique for PWV monitoring is currently actively being researched an advanced nation. But, there is no detailed research on an evaluation of precision of GPS derived PWV measurements during the period of foul weather condition. Here, we deal with the precision of GPS derived PWV during the passage of Typhoon RUSA. Typhoon RUSA which caused a series damage was passed over in Korea from August 30 to September 1, 2002. We compared th tropospheric wet delay estimated from GPS observation and radio-sonde data at four sites(Suwon, Kwangju, Taegu, Cheju). The mean standard deviation of PWV differences at each site is ${\pm}$0.005mm. We also obtained GPS PWV at 13 GPS permanent stations(Seoul, Wonju, Seosan, Sangju, Junju, Cheongju, Taegu, Wuljin, Jinju, Daejeon, Mokpo, Sokcho, Jeju). GPS PWV time series shows, in general, peak value before and during th passage of RUSA, and low after the RUSA. GPS PWV peak time at each station is related to the progress of a typhoon RUSA. We obtained very similar result as we compare GMS satellite image with tomograph using GPS PWV and we could present th possibility of practical use by numerical model for weather forecast.

This paper discusses the development of compaction management system using Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS technology for the efficient management or compaction. The use or RTK provides the land surveyors with a graphical display of his/her corrected position on the ground at that moment in time. In this work, we intended to improve the efficiency of compaction management showing the route of rollers and the total number of compaction obtained from management software (GPSROLL v.1.0) developed in this study. The RTK GPS system installed on the roller. To improve the efficiency of field management, GPSROLL software provides also data processing module for the field soil test and the field surveying data. GPSROLL system is based on the Korean GUI for user-friendly data input and output.

The purpose of GPS structural vibration monitoring is to obtain information on the frequency and amplitude of vibrations based on GPS observations that are often affected by various errors. Filters are frequently used to improve GPS accuracy and to retrieve vibration signals from GPS observational series. This paper studies the performances of four commonly used filters, i.e., Vondrak, wavelet, adaptive FIR and Kalman filters, for such applications. Controlled experiments are carried out and the results show that the capability of GPS in tracking structural dynamics and complex signals can be improved with any of the filters. The performances of Vondrak and wavelet filters are almost the same and superior to the adaptive FIR and Kalman filters. Recommendations are given for the selection of filters and filter parameters for different situations based on an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each of the filters.

This paper deals with a new approach to acquire the exterior orientation parameters based on GPS(Global Positioning System) in combination with IMU(Inertial Measuring Unit), which enables us to achieve the same accuracy with minimal ground control points comparing to the conventional photogrammetric method. To prove the possibility of practical use of GPS/INS photogrammetry, a survey flight was conducted loading with all necessary photographing systems. The observed data set by GPS/IMU were analyzed and verified :he accuracy performance of kinematic GPS, and also compared to those of conventional photogrammetry in various points of view.

JPL(Jet Propulsion Laboratory) has been routinely produced the precise GPS ephemeris and clock's correction parameter using data collected from globally distributed permanent GPS tracking stations, and has been offering the automated GPS data analysis(Precise Point Positioning： PPP) service by using them. In this study, after investigating the potential capacity of JPL's PPP service, the coordinates computation of the GPS base station by this service were investigated. For this, the dual frequency P codes data of 24 hours were observed from continuously operating four reference stations in USA. sent to the JPL's main computer through E-mail and/or ftp, and then were processed by Gipsy/Oasis-II (GOA-II) software with the precise GPS transmitter parameters. Centimeter-level positioning results were available to obtain in X, Y, Z geocentric rectangular coordinate system.

Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) provides GPS measurements to support high accuracy CPS positioning. The CORS improves GPS positioning productivity by eliminating the requirement for GPS users to operate two receivers. Previously, this is achieved by providing data from CORS to users in post-mission mode. However, the efficiency of the CORS will be maximized by upgrading it in real-time operation using RTK-GPS surveying because users can obtain centimeter-level accuracy in real-time without operating their own reference stations. In this research, authors extracted the arbitrary point's coordinate which is using GPS CORS data, now served in RINEX FORMAT via Internet, with observation network of the existing triangulation and GPS CORS data. And then, RTK GPS was performed with this arbitrary point as reference station.

Using the baseline vectors obtained by GPS observations on 32 triangulation points over Gyunggido area, Bessel coordinates of the corresponding points are calculated according to trilateration adjustment. The result shows the possibility of construction of a new cadastral survey network with the degree of correctness of 5cm, when newly computing the coordinates of the survey datum point of the area with values from GPS baseline vectors.
