The subject of the project is the implementation of innovative protocols for acquisition and processing of aerial photographic data through the expansion of research infrastructure at the GIS CENTRE Research and Development Center.
As part of the project, a unique hybrid sensor will be purchased for reality mapping and aerial data acquisition, specialized software for processing aerial images, point clouds from aerial laser scanning, and GIS-class software for hybrid analysis of aerial data. The infrastructure will be complemented by advanced GPU servers necessary for processing large datasets from laser scanning and multispectral images.
The project includes conducting series of research in four areas: forestry management (analysis of individual trees), water management (monitoring of large water reservoirs), urban space (areas difficult to access using traditional methods), and agriculture (calibration of agricultural damage estimation models based on satellite data).
The main goal of the project is to implement process innovation in the acquisition and processing of hybrid aerial data, which will contribute to achieving a new quality of services offered by OPEGIEKA for industries related to forestry, hydrology, agriculture, and urban analyses.
The project is directed both to OPEGIEKA company itself and its employees gaining professional development opportunities, as well as a wide group of recipients from the public and private sectors, including entities from the wood and furniture industry, water management, agriculture, and health and recreation sectors.
The implementation of the project will contribute to strengthening the company's export potential, establishing cooperation with scientific institutions and business partners from around the world, as well as improving business conditions in the region.
