Abstract

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are systems that continuously acquire data and provide position time series. Many monitoring applications are based on GNSS data and their efficiency depends on the capability in the time series analysis to characterize the signal content and/or to predict incoming coordinates. In this work we propose a suitable Network Architecture, based on Long Short Term Memory Recurrent Neural Networks, to solve two main tasks in GNSS time series analysis: denoising and prediction. We carry out an analysis on a synthetic time series, then we inspect two real different case studies and evaluate the results. We develop a non-deep network that removes almost the 50% of scattering from real GNSS time series and achieves a coordinate prediction with 1.1 millimeters of Mean Squared Error.
