UCL

The Department of Geomatic Engineering at UCL works in all areas of geomatics: photogrammetry, remote sensing, GIS, geodesy, hydrographic and engineering survey.

UCL teaches masters courses in all of these areas as well as a four year undergraduate course. The key areas of relevant research in the department of geomatic engineering are

• the use of satellite imagery (generation of DEMs for global and regional mapping and for terrain evolution studies,
• feature extraction such as buildings and trees in urban areas and automated 3D cloud-top heights from stereo photogrammetry);
• airborne sensors including aerial imagery, Lidar and IfSAR (3D city models, flood plain mapping);
• close range photogrammetry, laser scanning and optical metrology (3D city modelling using digital imagery and laser scanning, industrial measurement for the aerospace and automotive industries, biological and medical science).
