Western Australian Collaborative Research Grant recipients LatConnect 60 and Curtin University, have continued their successful partnership and secured a federal grant to create sensor fusion algorithms for research into maritime collision avoidance in shipping lanes.
In 2020 the Defence Science Centre initiated this partnership by awarding them $150,000 for their joint research project on “Automatic searching and tracking of anomalous ground signals from a satellite constellation”, which aims to develop technology that automatically searches and tracks anomalous signal sources on the Earth’s surface from satellite constellations.
Led by Professor Ba-Ngu Vo from the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Curtin University, the partnership has built on this initial success and expanded to include international company Spire Global, who will work with the team to use their Australian Research Council grant to help solve the industry-wide issue of maritime collisions using data from satellite sensors.
