Demonstration Product - Ground Displacement Map for the Upper Silesian Coal Basin Area Now Available on NSIS!

11-04-2025

The integrated product developed within the Satellite Data Research Infrastructure Center (CIBDS) based on radar data, presenting ground displacement maps, is now available on the National Satellite Information System (NSIS) portal (https://nsisplatforma.polsa.gov.pl/aktualnosci/cibds_gzw). Previously available in the UPWr Knowledge Base, this product integrates data from the European Ground Motion Service (EGMS) with CIBDS’s DInSAR processing results for the Upper Silesian Coal Basin area, offering detailed ground displacement maps with higher resolution than the products previously available on NSIS.

IGiG scientific seminar - Prof. Christian Heipke

06-03-2025

IGiG is pleased to invite to a scientific seminar, which will take place on March 13, 2024 (Thursday) at 9:00 AM in the Room 100G (institute library), Grunwaldzka Street 53, Wrocław (Building C1). Prof. Christian Heipke from Leibniz University Hannover will give a lecture: "AI in photogrammetry and remote sensing".

Abstract: Photogrammetry is a technique for image capture and analysis, as well as 3D reconstruction from images, which has its roots in the 19th century. When space images became available, remote sensing was added to the name of the discipline. Recently, also the term computer vision has been extensively used to describe essentially the same methods, techniques and algorithms.

IGiG scientific seminar - Prof. Thomas P. Kersten

26-02-2025

IGiG is pleased to invite to a scientific seminar, which will take place on March 6, 2024 (Thursday) at 9:00 AM in the Room 100G (institute library), Grunwaldzka Street 53, Wrocław (Building C1). Prof. Thomas P. Kersten from HafenCity University Hamburg will give a talk on "Historical 3D City Models as an Immersive Experience in Virtual Reality”.

Abstract: Virtual reality is becoming an affordable and interesting tool for visualisations in a variety of fields, including architecture, planning and monument preservation. This is due to the increasing power of 3D documentation and modelling technologies. Consequently, there is a growing need to develop efficient methods for the detailed creation of immersive virtual 3D environments. This technology is therefore becoming an attractive form of knowledge transfer for institutions such as museums and other cultural educational institutions, which often work within a tight budget.
