High-Precision GNSS Data Collection - Volunteers Needed!
High-Precision GNSS Data Collection Project
Volunteers Needed!
We are currently conducting a research project on high-precision GNSS positioning in urban environments and are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to assist with outdoor GNSS data collection and equipment cross-validation.
What You Will Do
- Conduct outdoor data collection for 2–3 hours per session (flexible timing; good weather and low traffic preferred)
- Perform repeat collections at the same location/trajectory for cross-validation
- Work with advanced equipment: u-blox F9P receivers, NovAtel SPAN systems, U-center, and Google Earth
Selected Scenarios in Hong Kong
Data collection will be conducted at carefully selected urban scenarios throughout Hong Kong, where high-precision positioning is particularly challenging yet critical for autonomous systems research.
Requirements & Preferences
Must have:
- A Windows laptop (to run logging software)
- Basic knowledge of GNSS/navigation principles
Highly preferred:
- Prior experience with GNSS/GPS data collection
- Familiarity with U-center (receiver configuration, data monitoring/logging)
- Familiarity with NovAtel SPAN-CPT integrated navigation systems
- Strict adherence to experimental protocols
Rewards
You will receive a HK$400 supermarket voucher for each successfully completed and valid task.
✨ You can participate multiple times, earning up to a maximum of HK$2,000!
