Chair of Optical and Laser Remote Sensing

Our academic staff of almost 20 pursues forefront research in the field of Optical and Laser Remote Sensing.

The core of our research is measuring and analyzing imaging radiometer and laser data obtained either by means of static and mobile platforms on the ground or platforms in the air and in space.

With this data we create a wide range of models of reality and detect its changes by combining various fields of expertise such as digital photogrammetry, radiative transfer, computer vision and pattern recognition.

We dedicate our expertise to:

• Monitoring climate change by measuring and / or predicting changes in the carbon or water cycle
• Observing road traffic
• Change detection of urban and rural areas
• Forest inventory
• Propagation of water over land during a flood
• Modeling of airflow around objects such us planes and wind turbines
• Monitoring sand movement of coastal zones
• 3D modeling of a crime scene; for example: bullet trajectory
• Geomorphological classification of valley networks and chaotic terrains on Mars

Thus, creating an interesting and substantial research portfolio at the cutting edge of this field.
