Abstract: In surveying adjustment models, there usually is some uncertain additional information or prior information on parameters, which can constraint on the parameters, and guarantee uniqueness and stability of parameters solution.In this paper, ellipsoidal sets are used to describe uncertainty, so an adjustment model with ellipsoidal uncertainty is established. The minimization in matrix trace of circumscribed ellipsoid with two ellipsoid intersections is regarded as a proposed adjustment criterion, the propagation law of uncertainty is analyzed, and the adjustment method with ellipsoid uncertainty is given. Finally, a numerical example is given to test and verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, and the relation between the adjustment result and the weighted mixed estimation is illustrated.

Key words: uncertainty, ellipsoid constraint, adjustment model, ill-posed problem, set membership estimation
