This area of research focuses on the development of methods, technologies and applications for the acquisition, representation and analysis of geospatial data. It combines traditional surveying and mapping techniques with modern tools such as Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) or Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
Our lines of research in this area are:
- Graphic and metric analysis of historical cartography, a line that has its origin in the historiography of architecture and graphic and cartographic representation, the latter evolving from purely graphic to metric aspects.
- Graphic engineering as a tool for visualising and communicating technical concepts in a clear and precise way. It includes computer-aided design for the design and 3D modeling of objects.
- Geographic Information Systems as a tool for integrating geospatial data from different information capture technologies and for the generation of thematic maps using indicators related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- GNSS: Feasibility of low-cost GNSS devices in Intelligent Integrated Structural Monitoring (SHM) and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) with real-time GNSS technology.
The results and developments of the research carried out are disseminated through congresses and scientific journals.
