Our core lecturing and research activity are in
Geomatics engineering. Based on the scientific frame-work of Geodesy
this is one of the key information technology of the 21st century that integrates
acquisition, modeling, analysis, and management of spatially referenced data.
These data are used for a wide range of applications, such as surveying, positioning
and navigation as well as digital imaging and surface scanning and other remote sensing
techniques or more globally as an input to geographical information systems (GIS) databases.
Sincerely,Prof. Bertrand Merminod
The TOPO lab excels in various
research competencies, among them:
► Geodesy, surveying and cartography
► Development of algorithms in field of geodesy,
navigation and mobile-mapping
► Integration and calibration
of sensors, modeling and estimation
► Development in the field of
satellite positioning,inertial navigation, high-precision surveying and monitoring
► Transfer of technology to industry
These competencies are exercised in numerous projects. Further
information can be found in our research section.
