Abstract
When the deformation of landslide becomes larger, the conventional static GPS surveying cannot satisfy the real-time requirement in landslide monitoring. In this paper we present a new method for single epoch GPS positioning combining with the accuracy of approximate coordinates of monitored station in landslide monitoring. This algorithm does not consider troublesome cycle-slip problem of carrier phase, and integer ambiguities can be solved at a single epoch, so the centimeter level accurate coordinates can be calculated instantaneously. By means of filtering or smoothing, this method can be extended to detect millimeter level deformation and velocity. In order to test the new method, low-cost single frequency receivers have been used in a real landslide, which happened in Jiangxi Province, China.
