Chair of Geosensors and Engineering Geodesy

The Chair of Geosensors and Engineering Geodesy (GSEG) represents geodetic core subjects related to 3d capturing of the real world, establishing the geometric relations between digital models and reality, and monitoring changes.

In research, we aim specifically at the development of sensors, sensor systems and data analysis methods for monitoring - and where possible - controlling of critical processes, especially in relation to natural hazards, changes in the environment and innovative construction processes. Our main focus is on the prediction and evaluation of the data quality, on the optimization of measurements and analytic procedures for specific application fields, and on the estimation of the relevant information from large amounts of raw data. The research has a strongly experimental and interdisciplinary character. It builds on numerical simulations, parameter estimation, machine learning, lab experiments and fieldwork. Our teaching and outreach are closely related to this research but also cover more established surveying and geodetic metrology.
