GNSS Seminar at PolyU

IPNL hosted a GNSS research seminar at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), bringing together researchers, students, and industry professionals to discuss the latest advances in satellite-based positioning and navigation. The event featured presentations on topics including multi-constellation GNSS processing, urban positioning challenges, integrity monitoring, and emerging applications in autonomous systems and smart cities.

The seminar provided a platform for participants to share recent findings and exchange ideas on pressing challenges facing the GNSS community. Topics of particular interest included methods for mitigating multipath and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) interference in dense urban environments, the integration of GNSS with complementary sensors such as LiDAR and inertial measurement units, and the role of 3D city models in improving positioning accuracy. Attendees from both academia and industry contributed diverse perspectives on how these technologies can be translated into practical solutions.

PolyU has established itself as a hub for navigation and positioning research in Hong Kong, with IPNL playing a central role in advancing the state of the art in urban GNSS and multi-sensor fusion. By organizing events such as this seminar, IPNL fosters dialogue between the research community and industry stakeholders, helping to bridge the gap between fundamental research and real-world deployment. The strong turnout and active discussions underscored the continued demand for reliable and accurate positioning solutions in the complex environments characteristic of Hong Kong and other major cities.
