Abstract

The errors resulting from satellite configuration geometry can be determined by Geometric Dilution of Precision (GDOP). Considering optimal satellite subset selection, lower GDOP value usually causes better accuracy in GPS positioning. However, GDOP computation based on complicated transformation and inversion of measurement matrices is a time consuming procedure. This paper deals with classification of GPS GDOP utilizing Parzen estimation based Bayesian decision theory. The conditional probability of each class is estimated by Parzen algorithm. Then based on Bayesian decision theory, the class with maximum posterior probability is selected. The experiments on measured dataset demonstrate that the proposed algorithm lead, in mean classification improvement, to 4.08% in comparison with Support Vector Machine (SVM) and 9.83% in comparison with K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) classifier. Extra work on feature extraction has been performed based on Principle Component Analysis (PCA). The results demonstrate that the feature extraction approach has best performance respect to all classifiers.
