Precise and Robust Navigation enabling Applications in Disturbed Signal Environments

Objectives

The primary objective of the PARADISE project is to develop a solution that makes survey-grade GNSS-based positioning available in situations where to date GNSS could not be adopted due to prohibitively bad signal conditions, such as indoors, urban canyons, forests etc. 

The project will focus on the following three applications, with the clear aim to increase the overall efficiency of the work flow of these applications by introducing GNSS based positioning:

• Surveying inside and near forests
• Harvesting wood
• Augmented reality of construction works in urban canyons

Thus PARADISE targets the development and demonstration of a GPS/Galileo based navigation and attitude determination system that provides improved accuracy of positioning in a cost efficient way under degraded signal conditions. The receiver will realize the robust and precise positioning and attitude solution by a combination of improved GNSS signal processing together with an adapted and highly performing precise-point-positioning (PPP) algorithm.
