Research

At SenseLab, we're passionate about delving into the depths of spatial informatics to uncover insights that can benefit society and the environment. Developing research in cutting-edge fields of Uncrewed Systems & Drones, Remote Sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Machnine Learning, Surveying and Mapping. With a multidisciplinary approach and by combining expertise from various domains we are able to address complex challenges and create innovative solutions.

Respecting the genuine function of a University we attempt not to focus on recurring applications and methods but to advance basic research, combinational research, solutions and proof of concepts in present and future challenges including:

• Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for mapping/ communication/ collision avoidance,

• Navigation in GNSS-denied environments,

• UAV custom construction, autonomous behavior, algorithms and image processing, multi-modal navigation, object detection and tracking, hardware programming,

• GNSS coordinate precision enhancement fusing drones, on-board and real time analysis of collected data,

• Automation in precision landing on moving platforms,

• AI-deep learning algorithms for 3D mapping and navigation,

• Swarm collaborative missions, autonomous collaboration with unmanned terrestrial systems,

• Graphical user interfaces in spatial databases/ queries by sketch/ gestural user interfaces,

• Spatiotemporal data modeling/ topology/ scene similarity/ trajectory behavioral analysis,

• Multi-temporal satellite image processing/ classification novel algorithms/ monitoring,

• Location based services/ e-Government applications, Smart Cities, Space technology,
