Sensors and data
The Chair has a wide range of latest generation sensors allowing its teams to carry out cutting-edge research, both in the sector of environmental modeling and human-environment-technology interactions.
The Chair uses a wide range of sensors to measure and characterize the environment and mobility behaviors, both indoors and outdoors:
- mobile LiDAR equipment for acquiring environmental data in the form of point clouds.
- three-dimensional cameras for counting flows of goods or people.
- beacon transmitters for precise positioning inside buildings.
- interaction sensors such as eye-tracking goggles to measure attention to the environment.
The Chair also boasts advanced software solutions for processing and analyzing massive data. A range of state-of-the-art computing equipment is used to develop work using artificial intelligence to process geospatial data and point clouds.
New sensors are regularly added to the Chair's holdings, in particular to equip large-scale outdoor environments.
