The 3D Remote Sensing and Virtual Geology Laboratory uses advanced technologies for land acquisition, analysis and modelling. Among its main activities are aerophotogrammetric surveys, which provide high-resolution data for landscape reconstruction and analysis. The laboratory specialises in 3D modelling of the earth’s surface, providing tools for studying geological and environmental processes. In addition, numerical modelling and computational geology applications are developed, which are useful for simulating complex geodynamic phenomena. Another area of research is the creation of virtual environments, used for both scientific research and education, to improve the visualisation and interpretation of geological data. Finally, the laboratory deals with the processing of remotely sensed data, integrating different technologies to obtain detailed information on the morphology and evolution of the territory.
Main instruments:
- Drones (air and river)
- Photographic sensors
- Thermo-photographic sensors
- Multispectral sensors
- High-performance workstations
- Stereoscopic hardware for 3D vision
The Laboratory is equipped for:
Bachelor's theses, Doctoral theses, Teaching exercises for the Bachelor's degree course in Geological Sciences, Teaching exercises for the Master's degree course in Geosciences for Sustainable Development, Services for third parties with reference price list, Other services for third parties, Research grants
