Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGDWe develop solutions for smart infrastructure planning, citizen participation, and environmental monitoring using geodata (DGM, DLM, 3D city models, point clouds, remote sensing data, sensor data, planning data, etc.).
Our portfolio includes tools for handling large, heterogeneous geodata (Big Data) in cloud environments, as well as for training and developing AI models. With our many years of expertise in visualization, we have various technologies and ready-made software solutions for creating sophisticated visualizations of large geodata sets. We are a member of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and actively participate in testbeds and standardization in the community.
Our applied research focuses on topics such as controlling data processing in cloud infrastructures, AI-based evaluation of remote sensing data and point clouds, and interactive 3D web visualization.
