The Czech Technical University in Prague

Department of Geomatics, Czech Technical University in Prague, Thakurova 7, 166 29 Prague, CZ

The Czech Technical University in Prague (https://www.cvut.cz) is one of the biggest and oldest technical universities in Europe. Department of Geomatics, Faculty of Civil Engineering provides tuition in the bachelor, master, and PhD-degree courses in geodesy (geodetic surveying, physical geodesy, satellite geodesy), adjustment calculus, mapping, land register, cartography, geographic information systems, and programming. Our research projects are mainly related to the precise applications of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems, development of the geographic information systems, digital photogrammetry, 3D laser scanning, the theory of geodetic instruments, and the development of the software (both proprietary and free GNU-licensed). The team consists of specialists in software development (desktop, web services and applications), and GIS/remote sensing professionals. Members of GeoForAll Lab (which is a part of Department of Geomatics) have long-term experience with open source development and contributing to core international open source GIS projects like GRASS GIS, GDAL or QGIS. Recent work is focused on processing Sentinel-2 datasets in GRASS GIS environment and using artificial neural networks in GIS field. From this perspective the project perfectly matches CTU GeoForAll Lab mission.

Mundialis
