Where precision meets reliability: Enabling autonomy through GNSS corrections
Autonomous applications like self-driving cars, robo-trucking and delivery drones require highly accurate and reliable positioning systems. GNSS hardware,
software and additional sensors like LiDAR, photogrammetry and inertial navigation systems help support precise positioning, but even these advanced
technologies need an added layer of reliable accuracy. GNSS correction services through precise point positioning (PPP) or real-time kinematic (RTK) techn…
Precision GNSS and Sensor Fusion in Autonomous Vehicles
Brett Kruger, software development engineer at Hexagon | NovAtel, demonstrates his team’s work on improving safety and performance levels of
autonomous cars through GNSS and sensor fusion technologies. He shares how additional sensors like inertial systems, visual odometry, and more enhance
the performance, safety, and availability of ADAS and automated systems. This is the second of a three-part technical series from Hexagon | NovAtel. Join …
GNSS/INS Sensor Fusion with On-Board Vehicle Sensors
Ryan Dixon, Sensor Fusion and Autonomy lead at Hexagon | NovAtel, shares his team’s work optimizing a GNSS+INS positioning solution across a range of
IMUs, including those used in automotive manufacturing. IMUs range in accuracy levels and price points, and Dixon’s research demonstrates that, when
combined with GNSS and other sensor readings, IMU measurements become more reliable and precise, enabling autonomous applications like self-driving c…
Frontiers of GNSS Accuracy
Technological developments build upon what has come before. In this presentation, Hexagon’s Autonomy & Positioning division’s director of correction
services Paul Alves explains why we have to stop thinking of Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and Precise Point Positioning (PPP) corrections as two separate
technologies. By seeing them as a continuous chain of developments, we’re able to continue innovating and achieve the best of both technologies: RTK Fro…
GNSS Applications - Episode 7
Hexagon | NovAtel Director of Marketing Neil Gerein explains how GNSS is used to solve different positioning problems in different industries. Focusing on the
agriculture, automotive, and defense industries, he outlines how GNSS and its related technologies offers comprehensive solutions to deliver positioning and
autonomy – assured. We hope this series sparks your imagination! When you’re ready to learn more about GNSS technologies and its applications across in…
Operating in Contested GNSS Conditions - Episode 6
Hexagon | NovAtel Business Development Manager for Defense and Military Peter Soar introduces the strategies and methods to protect GNSS positioning in
a contested environment. Through specialized equipment and algorithms, Peter demonstrates how we can protect position, navigation, and timing (PNT)
information from jamming and spoofing. We hope this series sparks your imagination! When you’re ready to learn more about GNSS technologies and its a…
Why is “good enough” positioning not okay in ag autonomy?
Classic GNSS positioning systems are good while there is an operator in the tractor cab, but what happens when there is no longer a driver taking control
during position interruptions? In this presentation Hexagon | NovAtel’s Agriculture Autonomy Product Manager James Szabo discusses the challenges of
classic GNSS positioning and how we are overcoming them to support autonomous equipment in agriculture.
Autonomous Road Trains for Long Haul Mining
How can we make mining, construction and other industrial applications more efficient, safe and sustainable? In long haul mining, resource extraction in
remote areas is a challenge with the high cost of transporting materials and labour, not to mention travel-fatigued drivers manually operating road trains.
Autonomous road trains can solve these challenges. In this webinar, Hexagon’s Autonomy & Positioning divisions’ core autonomy segment director Lee Bal…
An introduction to RF interference, jamming and spoofing
What is radio frequency interference? How do you detect and protect against jamming and spoofing? In this webinar, Hexagon | NovAtel applications
engineer Micky Olynik and core customer support lead James Chan introduce, explain and demonstrate RF interference and the ways it degrades GNSS/GPS
positioning performance. Identifying and detecting interference is the first step towards mitigating jamming and spoofing. Join us for this introductory webi…
