<p>Combining multi-source data can improve the accuracy and the spatial resolution of the three-dimensional (3-D) displacements field. How to effectively integrate multi-source data to obtain high-precision and high spatial resolution 3-D displacements field is worthy of further study. The stochastic model and fusion model of integrating multi-source data affect the accuracy of data fusion. In this paper, based on the least squares method, the effects of different stochastic models and data fusion models on the 3-D displacements field’s accuracy are studied. The optimal method for estimating large-scale 3-D displacements field from integrated InSAR, leveling and GPS measurements is obtained. Then we realize the integrating InSAR, leveling and GPS measurements to obtain the high-precision 3-D displacements velocity field in Tianjin(China) from 2016 to 2018. The results are validated with GPS measurements at 6 independent stations, with the root mean squares (RMS) residuals of the discrepancies being 2.39mm/yr、2.54mm/yr and 2.83mm/yr in eastern, northern and vertical directions, respectively. By comparing different stochastic models, the 3-D displacements field obtained from multi-source data is optimized by the variance component estimation-least squares method, which is better than weighted least squares (WLS) method. By comparing different data fusion models, the accuracy of the horizontal displacements velocity is better than that of interpolated GPS results. The horizontal displacements component has a great influence on the vertical displacements velocity accuracy in the process of acquiring the 3-D displacements velocity by integrating InSAR, GPS and leveling measurements. This study provides a reference method for integrating multi-source data to obtain 3-D displacements field. This method effectively utilizes the advantages of GPS, InSAR and leveling measurements, and extends the limitations of single technical in describing surface-time scale applications. The 3-D displacements information with a large spatial scale and high spatial resolution provide a reliable data basis for studying the crustal movement and its dynamic mechanism.</p>

AbstractCombining multi-source measurements can improve the accuracy and the spatial resolution of the three-dimensional (3-D) displacements field. Few researches have been conducted to integrate InSAR, GPS and leveling data of Tianjin in the recent three years to get the 3-D large displacement velocity field. How to effectively combine multi-source measurements and obtain the accurate 3-D large displacement field in high spatial resolution is worth studying. In this paper, the optimal method for acquiring 3-D displacement field by combining InSAR, leveling and GPS measurements is obtained by comparing the different methods. Then we realize the combining InSAR, leveling and GPS measurements to obtain the high-precision 3-D displacement field in Tianjin (China) from 2016 to 2018. Compared with different methods, we integrate InSAR, GPS and leveling measurements and use the weighted least squares method to estimate the 3-D displacement field with the highest accuracy. Although the accuracy of the horizontal displacement field obtained by this method has not been greatly improved, the vertical accuracy is obviously better than the other methods. The introduction of leveling measurements is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the vertical displacement field. Compared with independent GPS measurements, the standard deviations of 3-D displacements velocity field estimated by optimal solution method is 2.6 mm/yr, 2.1 mm/yr and 2.7 mm/yr in the vertical, eastern and northern directions, respectively. These results indicate that this method effectively utilizes the advantages of GPS, InSAR and leveling measurements, and extends the limitations of a single technical in describing surface-time scale applications. And the 3-D displacements information with a large spatial scale and high spatial resolution provides a reliable data basis for studying the crustal movement and its dynamic mechanism in China.

The only parameters of the original GM(1,1) that are generally estimated by the ordinary least squares method are the development coefficient a and the grey input b. However, the weight of the background value, denoted as λ, cannot be obtained simultaneously by such a method. This study, therefore, proposes two simple transformation formulations such that the unknown parameters, and can be simultaneously estimated by the least squares method. Therefore, such a grey model is termed the GM(1,1;λ). On the other hand, because the permission zone of the development coefficient is bounded, the parameter estimation of the GM(1,1) could be regarded as a bound-constrained least squares problem. Since constrained linear least squares problems generally can be solved by an iterative approach, this study applies the Matlab function lsqlin to solve such constrained problems. Numerical results show that the proposed GM(1,1;λ) performs better than the GM(1,1) in terms of its model fitting accuracy and its forecasting precision.

The red mud disaster occurred on 4th October 2010 in Hungary has raised the necessity of rapid intervention and drew attention to the long-term monitoring of such threat. Both the condition assessment and the change monitoring indispensably required the prompt and detailed spatial survey of the impact area. It was conducted by several research groups - independently - with different recent surveying methods. The high spatial resolution multispectral aerial photogrammetry is the spatially detailed (high resolution) and accurate type of remote sensing. The hyperspectral remote sensing provides more information about material quality of pollutants, with less spatial details and lower spatial accuracy, while LIDAR ensures the three-dimensional shape and terrain models. The article focuses on the high spatial resolution, multispectral electrooptical method and the evaluation methodology of the deriving high spatial resolution ortho image map, presenting the derived environmental information database

The use of the new generation of remote sensors, such as echo sounders and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers with differential correction installed in a drone, allows the acquisition of high-precision data in areas of shallow water, as in the case of the channel of the Encañizadas in the Mar Menor lagoon. This high precision information is the first step to develop the methodology to monitor the bathymetry of the Mar Menor channels. The use of high spatial resolution satellite images is the solution for monitoring many hydrological changes and it is the basis of the three-dimensional (3D) numerical models used to study transport over time, environmental variability, and water ecosystem complexity.

A self-adaptive PID tuning scheme is presented for the electro-hydraulic servo loading system. It requires the least squares method to identify the parameters of the transfer function of the electro-hydraulic servo loading system and utilizes the improved lbest PSO algorithm to optimize the PID controller. The scheme can provide the optimal PID parameters so that the dynamic performance and stability of the electro-hydraulic servo loading system are improved. Results show the fact that the dynamic performance and stability of the system are improved by the scheme. And in terms of optimization of PID controller, the improved lbest PSO algorithm is better than the lbest PSO algorithm and Ziegler-Nichols method.

AbstractThe knowledge of composition and strain with high spatial resolution is highly important for the understanding of the chemical and electronic properties of alloyed nanostructures. Several applications require a precise knowledge of both composition and strain, which can only be extracted by self-consistent methodologies. Here, we demonstrate the use of a quantitative high resolution transmission electron microscopy (QHRTEM) technique to obtain two-dimensional (2D) projected chemical maps of epitaxially grown Ge-Si:Si(001) islands, with high spatial resolution, at different crystallographic orientations. By a combination of these data with an iterative simulation, it was possible infer the three-dimensional (3D) chemical arrangement on the strained Ge-Si:Si(001) islands, showing a four-fold chemical distribution which follows the nanocrystal shape/symmetry. This methodology can be applied for a large variety of strained crystalline systems, such as nanowires, epitaxial islands, quantum dots and wells, and partially relaxed heterostructures.

The crystalano molecular structure of cyclopentadienyl manganese dicarbonyl-triphenyl phosphine has been determined by means of three dimensional data obtained by a Buerger precession camera. 2931 independent intensities were utilized in the refinement of the structure using the least-squares method. The final disagreement factor is 0.11. MnC5H5(CO)2P(C6H5)3 crystallizes in the triclinic space group.[Formula: see text]The molecule shows atomic parameter almost identical to those of MnC5H5(CO)3 except for the Mn—C bond lengths which change from 1.80 to 1.73 Å. The Mn—P distance (2.236 Å) and the unchanged parameters for the Mn—C5H5 group confirm the strong donating power of the cyclopentadienyl group. [Journal translation]
