UNIGIS Master Thesis: Using Network Topology for Data Management: A Case Study from Urban Drainage
What is the best way to assist data-cleansing? This article offers a simple method for achieving this in an urban drainage network. To do so, a hybrid approach was created that utilizes both automatic and manual work steps. Considerable efficiency gains were achieved, without compromising on quality.
UNIGIS Master Thesis: UAVSAR vs. Sentinel-1: What SAR images reveal about the distribution of mangroves on the Pacific Coast of Colombia
Mangrove monitoring in tropical regions is limited by the constant presence of clouds. This article explores how SAR images from Sentinel-1 and UAVSAR overcome these limitations and compares their performance in mapping mangroves along the Pacific Coast of Colombia.
UNIGIS Master Thesis: Rethinking Roadside Safety: Assessing Risks on Rural Roads
Introduction Run-off-road crashes are among the most dangerous accidents on Austrian roads, with injury risks up to seven times higher than in other crash types. These crashes usually happen when drivers lose control and collide with obstacles such as trees, signposts, or gantries. A recent master’s thesis at Z_GIS presents [...]
Discrete Global Grid Systems
Discrete Global Grid Systems are seamless, global grids organised hierarchically into different scales. They are based on shapes with flat surfaces (polyhedrons) that approximate the spherical shape of the Earth and are used to integrate and analyse large, global data sets. Read more ...
How to use geoinformatics in indigenous communities
How to use geoinformatics in indigenous communities Digital tools and data shape our everyday lives. A project involving UNIGIS supported the increased use of such approaches in indigenous communities in Latin America, which are struggling with numerous problems ranging from environmental pollution caused by illegal mining to territorial conflicts and [...]
