Utilisation of sensor developments for efficient topographic mapping (TOPMAP)
Up-to-date and reliable geo-information is indispensable for a wide variety of tasks such as land administration, water management and the management of natural resources and urban areas. All these tasks require the availability of digital elevation models and/or core spatial data such as the outlines of buildings and roads. This research theme focuses on the development of methods to improve the cost-effectiveness of this kind of topographic mapping, making use of the latest sensor technology. Considering applications in urban areas, the emphasis is on large-scale geo-information and data acquisition from airborne and sometimes terrestrial platforms.
