Dilution of precision:Dilution of precision (DOP)is a parameter relatingthe precision of the position provided by a positioningsystem to that of the “observed quantities”directly measured by the system. DOP is a measure of theinfluence of loci on the precision of position fixing. DOP is frequently used with a qualifying term, suchas geometric, horizontal, vertical, etc.,to indicate that DOP is related to all or some unknown quantities.
