Hello all,<br class="">
<br class="">
I'm using RTKLib in Kinematic mode to obtain the relative positions between several rovers (they are all UBlox NEO-M8T at 1Hz with GPS+GLONASS). I use an additional NEO-M8T at 1Hz with a Novatel GPS-701-GG antenna as the base station.<br class="">
<br class="">
To evaluate whether or not the relative positions are good or not, I've fixed 3 rovers on the roof of a car and I drove for 15 minutes on a looping race-track. Then, I take the positions outputted by RTKLib, I project them in the car's local coordinate-system (X and Y) and I plot the X (normal to the trajectory) and Y (tangential) differences between each rover. As the rovers are fixed in the car's local coordinate-system, the differences should be ideally constant over time.<br class="">
<br class="">
Here are the results I get (yellow curve is the tangential difference, and red curve is the normal difference) :<br class="">

- Differences between rovers 1 and 3 : <a href="http://postimg.org/image/hu7k69pkh/" target="_blank" class="">http://postimg.org/image/hu7k69pkh/</a> <<a href="http://postimg.org/image/hu7k69pkh/" target="_blank" class="">http://postimg.org/image/hu7k69pkh/</a>><br class="">
<br class="">
As you can see, rovers 1 and 2 are quite well positioned relatively to each other: the yellow plot varies between -20cm and +20cm (54% below 10cm).<br class="">
But with rovers 1 and 3, the tangential difference varies between -50cm and +50cm (only 12% below 10cm). I get approximately the same plot between rovers 2 and 3.<br class="">
<br class="">
The sinusoidal aspect of these plots seems to indicate that the error comes from a constant absolute offset of rover 3. Each time a half lap is completed, the sign of the difference changes.<br class="">
<br class="">
Is there any reason that could explain why I get better results between rover 1 and rover 2, rather than between rover 1 and 3? If I redo the same run, results may vary, sometimes all the results seems good between all rovers, sometimes it may be another rover than #3 that performs badly.<br class="">
I've also noticed that sometimes, if I regenerate the positions by removing the first minutes of the run, the results may improve greatly .<br class="">
<br class="">
Also, is there any settings that may be more appropriate than the default ones if I'm more interested by the relative positions of the rovers than by their absolute positions?<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks by advance for your help, and also thanks for all the hard work put into RTKLib!<br class="">
<br class="">
Best regards,<br class="">
Simon<br class="">
