Research on Remote Sensing will promote the advancement in technology of several related applications related to earth observations, especially in natural disasters, agriculture, biodiversity, transport, environmental modelling and others.
Our centre focuses on understanding and improving the current know-how related to the fundamental knowledge of the Earth and its biophysical processes. This includes developing and improving techniques for analysing and interpreting remotely sensed data from various earth observation sensors.
The centre explores to use latest imaging technologies and state-of-the-art sensors—for example, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), laser scanning systems such as Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), Terrestrial Laser Scanning Systems (TLS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), drone-based remote sensors (optical, infrared, thermal, hyper-spectral, LiDAR, etc.)—for various Earth-observation applications and monitoring of environmental phenomenon.
The research provides an environment where faculty, staff and students can work together to advance knowledge in the application of remote sensing technologies in Ecosystem Science and Natural Resource Management, Environmental Modelling, Radar Technologies, and Advanced Digital Image Processing, where multidisciplinary approaches to environmental problems is stressed with plenty of hands-on experience.
