Abstract

What are the new Geomatics application fields? Who are the possible end users? This contribution will attempt to describe the state of art and the effective capability of research in the Geomatics field, paying particular attention to land surveying and built heritage issues. The research carried out in recent years by the Geomatics group at the Politecnico di Torino will be described, with respect to the technologies, algorithms and software that have been developed, concerning GNSS satellite positioning systems, inertial navigation systems (INS), digital photogrammetry, laser scanning, SAR and remote sensing. This research has been applied in several fields, ranging from the survey of natural and urban environments, to the modelling of archaeological finds. Some of these applications, e.g. Mobile Mapping Systems (MMS) and the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) will be outlined in this paper.
