Interdisciplinary applications

We work with scientist with a diverse background, using computer vision, photogrammetry and remote sensing, to address cross-disciplinary challenges. Scientists we have collaborated are in anthropology, ecology, earth science, environmental engineering, public health, structural engineering, geography etc., with the list expanded as more collaborations arise.

Applications

  • Visual sensors for environment assessment
  • Using remote sensing to understand agriculture practices
  • Using photogrammetry for modeling corals for ecological assessment
  • Using sensors and visual data to understand the vibration of bridges
  • Using remote sensing images to assess the quality of water
  • Etc.
