A positioning method is applied to a terminal device that includes a positioning chip and a system on chip (SoC). The method includes receiving, by the positioning chip, a satellite signal transmitted by at least one satellite, obtaining, by the positioning chip using the SoC, a differential correction value sent by a reference station, and performing, by the positioning chip based on a carrier phase differential technology, positioning calculation using the satellite signal and the differential correction value.

A satellite signal calibration system can receive sensor data from one or more sensors provided on a vehicle and detect satellite signal from one or more satellites of a satellite positioning system. Using the sensor data, the system can perform a localization operation to determine a current location of the vehicle. The system may then determine timing offsets of the satellite signals from each of the one or more satellites based at least in part on the current location of the vehicle.

An exemplary virtual boundary system determines a refined geolocation of a tracking device based on a positioning signal and a correction signal that are accessed from distinct signal sources. The virtual boundary system compares the refined geolocation of the tracking device and a geographic boundary. Then, based on the comparing of the refined geolocation and the geographic boundary, the virtual boundary system provides an alert indicative of the refined geolocation with respect to the geographic boundary. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

Disclosed is a method for adaptive identification of erroneous GPS observed value, including: acquiring positioning information of a vehicle from a GPS sensor, and extracting first observed value data; acquiring posture information and speed information of the vehicle to acquire dead reckoning trajectory data of the vehicle; eliminating the erroneous GPS observed values based on respective data on data status value, heading significant bit, the number of satellites used and horizontal dilution of precision in the first observed value data to obtain second observed value data; constructing pose graph data based on the second observed value data and acquiring processing result information; analyzing and optimizing the processing result information to eliminate the erroneous GPS observed values of which the cost function exceeds a preset cost function threshold to obtain third observed value data; and constructing a high-precision map based on the third observed value data and three-dimensional scene map data.

Described are methods, systems, and devices for determining position using Differential Global Navigation Satellite (DGNSS) measurements. Techniques described herein involve taking carrier phase measurements at a reference station or other GNSS receiver at a known location, and combining the carrier phase measurements with pseudorange measurements taken at the reference station to resolve carrier phase ambiguity and to, in combination with pseudorange measurements taken at a mobile device, obtain a differentially corrected measurement that can be used to estimate a position of the mobile device. The differentially corrected measurement can be a double differential measurement based on signals from a pair of GNSS satellites.
