Postdoc position in Scan-to-BIM

The Geomatics group’s laboratory is based on the Technology Campus in Ghent, which is located at the center of Belgium, in the heart of Europe. The research group targets practical applications in the field of construction and surveying and focuses on data capture, processing and interpretation for the creation of semantically rich databases i.e., BIM and GIS and the analysis of the built environment. The emphasis is on the processing of geometry such as point cloud data and mesh data, and on information extracted from imagery taken from the built environment.
The research at the Geomatics group, headed by prof. Maarten Vergauwen, is rapidly expanding. The group currently already has three postdocs and multiple PhD students, both working on individual research topics and international projects. In particular, related to this project, there is expertise in machine learning for geospatial applications, remote sensing, and the creation of intelligent databases. The research group also has strong ties to industry and the research community. Within KU Leuven the group has contacts, relevant to this project, with the Departments of Electrical Engineering (ESAT), Computer Science and the other groups within Civil Engineering, and externally with project partners such as CERTH, UPF and the university of Liège. The group’s laboratory is well equipped with state-of-the art Lidar and photogrammetric hard and software and powerful processing units which the candidate can use for research
