Research Services

UAS / GeoCopter / Photogrammetry: Immediate near-field recordings at close range with correspondingly high ground resolution + additional or other sensors for data acquisition (temperature, infrared, gas sensors, etc.)

GNSS (including correction data for the City of Salzburg area): Surveying of all types and requirements (from meters to the CM area - frequency measurements incl. Correction service)

Analysis and calculations: Evaluation procedures based on orthophoto generation to the modeling of detailed terrain or surface models

Methods & Expertise for Research Infrastructure

1. Photogrammetry / UAS - Unmanned Aerial Systems (civilian drone): Here, above all, the GeoCopter / UAS serves as a carrier for camera and measuring equipment with the primary goal of taking up-to-date aerial photographs and evaluating them with a variety of methods. This goes beyond the creation of simple orthophotos (=geo-referenced terrain corrected aerial photos) via evaluation methods to automatically generate detailed, fully textured 3D or surface models from photos to special sensors in which the UAS serves as a carrier.

2. GNSS / Surveying: Depending on the requirement profile, GNSS receivers with an accuracy from 2 meters up to 2/3 cm are used in numerous research questions (Monitoring, registering point measurements - see also point 1, glaciological measurements ....).

3. General recording or evaluation devices: This includes, above all, IT infrastructure that is suitable for data recording in the field (outdoor), suitable in its construction and robustness (data logger) or corresponding performance for sometimes very computational-intensive analysis - and modeling calculations required (server).
