From field measurement to spatial model

GEOLAB links precise field geodesy with cartography and geoinformatics. Measurements form the reference frame for maps, GIS, photogrammetry, laser scanning and 3D models.

In Egypt and Sudan this supports long-term documentation of archaeological sites in a single coordinate system, with results turned into spatial databases and publications.

AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Methods for understanding space and its change

We combine precise field measurement, historical sources and digital technology. The result is spatially anchored data, maps, 3D models and research outputs used in science, teaching, heritage care and the documentation of archaeological sites in Egypt.

  • 01

    Geodesy and GNSS

    Building control networks, precise site surveys, unifying coordinate systems and long-term spatial documentation.

  • 02

    GIS and cartography

    Spatial databases, analyses, thematic maps and web map applications for research and documentation projects.

  • 03

    Remote sensing

    Aerial and satellite data, UAV photogrammetry, multispectral analysis and monitoring of landscape change over time.

  • 04

    3D documentation

    Terrestrial laser scanning, image-based photogrammetry, point clouds, textured models and precise digital representations of structures, terrain and archaeological objects.
