The Lab operates in the field of Geomatics: topography, photogrammetry and laser scanning. Research activities are focused on surveying and measurement in the field of architecture/archaeology and are particularly aimed at cultural heritage. The laboratory specialises in three-dimensional surveying in the archaeological field to support excavation operations, architectural surveying of complex architecture and environmental surveying with drone techniques. Other research topics are reality-based three-dimensional modelling on a large (1-20, 1:50) or very large scale (1:1), the creation of dedicated information systems to support building maintenance and conservation operations, BIM and HBIM, 3D GIS and cartography; structural monitoring (precision topography).
