Overview

GIS resources consist of hardware and software facilities essential for conducting studies with geospatial data.

A strong focus is on:

  • Collecting
  • Analyzing and
  • Visualizing 3D geospatial data.

Equipment

3D data acquisition is performed by 3D field data surveying with:

  • Terrestrial laser scanner (Riegl LMS-Z620)
  • Nikon 300D Camera (photogrammetric analysis, stereographic photos)
  • Leica Viva GNSS (two rovers, one base) 
  • 9 Panasonic FZ-G1 MK4 Tablets with GNS 2000-Sensors, Win 10, Field MOVE + ArcGIS

The following hardware and software is available for data analysis:

  • Three 3D processing PCs, 3D visualization Planar 2010 M, + PC DELL Precision T5400 4 XEON CPU 2.5 GHz, 8 GB RAM, hard disk 700 GB
  • Software (ParaView, ENVI, ArcGIS, AutoCad, Riegl Laser Scanner software, Kubit (Tachycad, Photoplan, PointCloud, hylasFM), MOVE (academic license information), Fledermaus, Rivertools).

and for the provision and visualization of data:

  • GIS Server (ArcGIS Server 10.3) with 10 TB RAID System Dell PowerEdge T630, 32 GB RAM, 2x2.3 GHz, 10 cores, Windows Server 2012
  • A0 Scanner Graphtec CS510 Pro + PC 4CPU 3GHz, 1GB RAM, Disk 70 GB, XP 32 bit
  • 3D cave visualization and GIS computing
  • Scape Pro 55 UHD 3M (4K/UHD Multitouch-Table)
