The action

The Action researches and develops innovative services covering the whole range of geospatial data functions (acquisition, processing, documentation, organization/storage, access, mapping/visualization, semantic representation and enrichment, analysis, modelling), so that they can support decision making in every field of human activity.

The objects of the Action are:

  • The development of geospatial data acquisition services using unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and Lidar technology.
  • The development of geospatial data acquisition services using sensors embedded in heterogeneous mobile and IoT systems.
  • The development of satellite data acquisition and processing services for the production, visualization and dissemination of new geospatial datasets.
  • The development of services for analysis, modelling and knowledge mining  from big geospatial data.
  • The development of a methodology for the production of 3D maps and 4D augmented maps for the cartographic representation of complex dynamic geospatial phenomena.
  • The development of services for semantic representation (RDF) and semantic enrichment of geospatial data, as well as the development of services for search, retrieval and visualization of semantic geospatial data.
  • The development of methodologies for representing geospatial knowledge with knowledge graphs/ontologies, the development of a human-centered, flexible and collaborative ontology management environment, and the development of ontology matching and alignment mechanisms to address heterogeneity issues.

The goal of the Action is to develop and provide innovative services for the integrated management of geospatial data (acquisition, processing, documentation, organization/storage, access, mapping/visualization, semantic representation and enrichment, analysis, modelling), adopting cutting-edge technologies, so that primary geospatial data can be transformed into geospatial knowledge accessible by humans/users or machines/agents. These services will be available to support decision-making in various domains and by various stakeholders.

[1]Cartography & Geoinformatics Laboratory, Department of Geography

The Cartography and Geoinformatics Laboratory was established in 1997 to support the education and research of the Department of Geography in the fields of Cartography and Geoinformatics. A significant number of European and Greek research projects have been carried out or are in progress in the fields of Geoinformatics applications in Physical, Urban and Environmental Geography, as well as applications of Remote Sensing in the mapping of environmental phenomena.

[2]Laboratory of Remote Sensing and GIS, Department of Geography

The laboratory supports research and education in the fields of Spatial Statistics, Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing. Its members are active in methodological issues of the above mentioned subjects Description of the University of the Aegean Data Network and their applications in geography (e.g. transport models, monitoring and modelling of land cover/land use changes.

[3]Environmental quality and Geospatial Applications, Department of Marine Sciences and Oceanography

The research focuses on the assessment of the quality of the marine environment and in particular on the dynamics of coastal eutrophication, the investigation of the behavior of potentially toxic substances in the marine environment, which are identified as priority substances, the detection and identification of oil spills, the microbiological quality of bathing and drinking water. Data collected from field sampling and other sources, such as satellite remote sensing imagery, existing databases, shall be processed and analyzed using appropriate methods, such as statistical, spatial and/or multicriteria analysis. The results of the analyses, in combination with the systemic study of marine processes, lead to a more complete understanding of the mechanisms associated with abiotic and biotic factors of the marine environment and their quantitative assessment.

 
[4]Intelligent Systems Laboratory, Department of Cultural Technology and Communication

The Intelligent Systems Lab (i-Lab) explores and develops technologies for intelligent, interactive and web-based applications to support the reproduction, display and promotion of cultural heritage assets and services. Main research areas: 3D Visualization, Computational Intelligence, Intelligent Interaction, Semantic Web and IoT.

[5] Artificial Intelligence & Decision Support Systems Laboratory (AI-Lab), Department of Information and Communication Systems Engineering

The objectives of the Artificial Intelligence & Decision Support Systems Laboratory (AI-Lab) include (a) Empowering humans to perform collaborative activities in complex and dynamic settings, (b) Exploiting and integrating information coming from different (and possibly heterogeneous) information sources, (c) Capturing and mining knowledge from data, and (d) Designing and implementing distributed cognitive systems for information exploitation and collaboration.

[6]Laboratory of Informatics and New Technologies in Shipping, Transport and Insular Development, Department of Shipping Trade and Transport

The objectives of the laboratory are: (a) Research in the fields of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) and renewable resources with the aim of developing methodologies, techniques and indicators for recording and monitoring developments, (b) Development of the methodology and infrastructure for the investigation of the various aspects of these technologies. The main objective of the laboratory is to develop and exploit coherent methodologies, techniques and tools for the development of research infrastructures of international level; and (c) To investigate the societal dimensions related to ICT applications in shipping, transport and ecological development.
