Geomatic Lab
The Geomatics Unit is a resource that provides an infrastructure dedicated to solutions based on new technologies. The Lab has a complete framework consisting of a set of hardware, software, and databases.
We cover a wide range of needs such as:
- Modelling
- Development of specific maps using remote sensing techniques, GPS and conventional documentary sources
- Automation of data collection
- Application of simulation models to different types of change scenarios.
