Estimating the proper relative weight of each sensor observation.  Developing an extended surface fnite element method (ESFEM), the differential equations of deformation with inter-element continuity constraints are solved.Furthermore, this method provides the possibility of fusion of non-synchronized repetitious geotechnical and geodetic observations as the boundary data to model the deformation with respect to an inertial reference frame. Also the proper weight of multi-sensor’s observations would be estimated. UR - https://ceej.aut.ac.ir/article_915.html L1 - https://ceej.aut.ac.ir/article_915_1f18c32fbbdc9d6d47adb45cd1626a8d.pdf ER -
