To quantitatively analyze the influence of BDS-3 observation multipath error on deformation monitoring accuracy, we select 128 d of BDS-3 monitoring data of a water conservancy project containing 7 stations in 2022, and study the correlation between BDS-3 observation multipath error, deformation monitoring accuracy before and after branch cutting of trees around the monitoring stations. The results show that 1) there is a strong correlation between multipath error and BDS-3 deformation monitoring accuracy, and the correlation coefficients with plane and elevation accuracy are greater than 0.93 and 0.81, respectively; 2) the average multipath error using B1I and B3I observations after tree branch cutting around the monitoring site is reduced from 0.676 m and 0.426 m to 0.329 m and 0.230 m, and the average monitoring accuracy in N, E and U directions reaches 0.9 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.7 mm, and 1.1 mm, 1.0 mm, and 2.2 mm, respectively, which is 63%, 69%, 58%, and 52%, 61%, and 48% higher than that before cutting branches; 3) after changing the surrounding observation environment to weaken the influence of multipath error, the accuracy of using B1I observations is better than that of using B3I observations. Therefore, in the BDS-3 short baseline deformation monitoring application, B1I observations are recommended.
