AbstractIn the classical geodetic data processing, a non- linear problem always can be converted to a linear least squares adjustment. However, the errors in Jacob matrix are often not being considered when using the least square method to estimate the optimal parameters from a system of equations. Furthermore, the identity weight matrix may not suitable for each element in Jacob matrix. The weighted total least squares method has been frequently applied in geodetic data processing for the case that the observation vector and the coefficient matrix are perturbed by random errors, which are zero mean and statistically in- dependent with inequality variance. In this contribution, we suggested an approach that employ the weighted total least squares to solve the nonlinear problems and to mitigate the affection of noise in Jacob matrix. The weight matrix of the vector from Jacob matrix is derived by the law of nonlinear error propagation. Two numerical examples, one is the triangulation adjustment and another is a simulation experiment, are given at last to validate the feasibility of the developed method.

The EIO (Errors In Observations) model is used in the total least squares method to calculate, process geodetic data. Next to the classical least squares method, it is applied to solve more solutions. When we use the EIO model in calculus and process, performing a matrix inverse has a large dimension will be avoided. Moreover, the calculation and accuracy evaluation steps are based on the iterative algorithm to get the results. In this paper, the authors use the procedure of calculating and evaluating the accuracy of the EIO model in the experimental calculation of the coordinate transformation according to the Helmert formula

We present elegant algorithms for fitting a plane, two parallel planes (corresponding to a slot or a slab) or many parallel planes in a total (orthogonal) least-squares sense to coordinate data that is weighted. Each of these problems is reduced to a simple 3×3 matrix eigenvalue/eigenvector problem or an equivalent singular value decomposition problem, which can be solved using reliable and readily available commercial software. These methods were numerically verified by comparing them with brute-force minimization searches. We demonstrate the need for such weighted total least-squares fitting in coordinate metrology to support new and emerging tolerancing standards, for instance, ISO 14405-1:2010. The widespread practice of unweighted fitting works well enough when point sampling is controlled and can be made uniform (e.g., using a discrete point contact Coordinate Measuring Machine). However, we demonstrate that nonuniformly sampled points (arising from many new measurement technologies) coupled with unweighted least-squares fitting can lead to erroneous results. When needed, the algorithms presented also solve the unweighted cases simply by assigning the value one to each weight. We additionally prove convergence from the discrete to continuous cases of least-squares fitting as the point sampling becomes dense.

The article proposes the estimation of the gross output vector in the presence of errors in the matrix of direct costs and the final consumption vector. The article suggests the use of the total least squares method for estimating the gross output vector. Test cases showed that the accuracy of the proposed estimates of the gross output vector is higher than the accuracy of the estimates obtained using the classical least squares method (OLS).
