Geoinformatics Laboratory

How can we photocopy the whole space?

We are engaged in research on “photocopying the whole space” by making full use of satellites, airplanes, drones, and mobile terminals, etc. In visualizing problems associated with the building of social infrastructure and disasters and making future predictions about them, it is necessary to prepare the map data accurately to depict all the details that we need for analyzing and interpreting the map data. We aim to make the social foundation more sophisticated by multidimensionally understanding the movement of people and things inside the cities with the use of geoinformatics, which fuses studies based on land surveys and various other technologies.
