Abstract: Total least squares (TLS) can solve the issue of parameter estimation in the errors-invariables (EIV) model, however, the estimated parameters are affected or even severely distorted when the observation vector and coefficient matrix are contaminated by gross errors. Currently, the use of existing robust TLS (RTLS) methods for the EIV model is unreasonable. Original residuals are directly used in most studies to construct the weight factor function, thus the robustness for the structure space is not considered. In this study, a robust weighted total least squares (RWTLS) algorithm for the partial EIV model is proposed based on Newton-Gauss method and the equivalent weight principle of general robust estimation. The algorithm utilizes the standardized residuals to construct the weight factor function and employs the median method to obtain a robust estimator of the variance component. Therefore, the algorithm possesses good robustness in both the observation and structure spaces. To obtain standardized residuals, we use the linearly approximate cofactor propagation law for deriving the expression of the cofactor matrix of WTLS residuals. The iterative procedure and precision assessment approach for RWTLS are presented. Finally, the robustness of RWTLS method is verified by two experiments involving line fitting and plane coordinate transformation. The results show that RWTLS algorithm possesses better robustness than the general robust estimation and the robust total least squares algorithm directly constructed with original residuals. |
