Abstract: In this paper, multi-source observation models with various heteroscedastic and combined adjustment methods in geodesy are summarized. It shows that the mixed estimation method can be used for measurement data fusion, and can balance the influence of additional information and sample information on parameter estimation. By calculating the weights to minimize the trace of the covariance matrix of parameter estimation, an optimal selection method of weights is given. This paper extends the existing weighted mixing method so that the given method are not limited by the prior unit weight variance, and can be effectively applied to large measurement data processing.

Key words: stochastic constraint, adjustment model, weighted mixed estimation, optimal linear unbiased estimation
