Remote Sensing & Topographic LiDAR Research Group

About us

In the last decade spatial information has gained new importance in our daily lifes. Advancements in sensor technology make it necessary to develop new methods for data handling and analysis. This enables also a new view on thematic topics.

The objective of the research group is the development and application of methods for handling new remote sensing data types and collected geoinformation to map and analyse geographic phenomena in physical and human shaped environments triggered by natural processes and human players.

The main research focus lies on the exploration of the potential of topographic LiDAR data for mapping and monitoring tasks. Increasing spatial and time resolution allow realistic three dimensional representation of the environment, monitoring its time dependent changes and the modelling of processes in different scales.
