Global navigation satellite systems have simplified and extended the range of precision positioning
data made availabe with the aid of different positioning techniques. Having more accurate
and precise location information at your fingertips is now more important than ever for a wide
range of industries. Professor Peter Teunissen joined Curtin's Department of Spatial Sciences
in February 2009 after being awarded an Australian Research Council (ARC) Federation Fellowship.
Professor Teunissen's appointment follows his role in the Curtin led ARC International
Linkage Fellowship Project to extend key technologies for next generation global navigation satellite
systems.
An internationally renowned geodist, Peter is lauded as the inventor of a resolution
method that revolutionised high precision ___ GPS positioning capabilities. His current
focus is on solving critical GNSS theoretical and modelling issues in preparation for the
rapid growth in global and regional navigation satellite systems.
Professor Teunissen has developed a novel multi antenna platform and processing algorithm
called the Array for Precise Point Positioning which offers a number of significant improvements
such as improved positioning accuracy, reduced convergence time, and improved data integrity.
Our APPP sensory realises improved accuracy, faster solutions, better integrity and even
allows the use of cheaper receivers. The commercial availabity of such a system is expected to
have a direct impact on the position GNSS market. And we believe this is significant
because the coming years will show an evolution of position GNSS from a technology for pure
scientists to a production tool important for industrial sectors like mining, construction
and agriculture.
