iSPACE-Researcher at the University of Melbourne.
iSPACE researcher Laura Knoth has been conducting research at the renowned Centre for Spatial Data Infrastructures & Land Administration (CSDILA) at the University of Melbourne, Australia, as part of an ERASMUS grant since March 1, 2018. She is working for four months in the team of Prof. Abbas Rajabifard in the context of her dissertation project “OLS3D – Organizing Large Scale 3D geoinformation“.
How she likes it down under? “Great! There are mainly three projects that are closely related to the topic of my thesis: 3D Property Ownership Map Base for Smart Urban Land Administration, 3D Singapore and 3D Malaysia. Of course, I hope to use this unique chance to see a little bit of Australia.”
Laura Knoth’s dissertation project addresses the problem that 3D data bases often remain unused due to their distribution across different departments in companies and in isolated systems. However, this data could be used to contextualize the environment in intelligent production environments for indoor positioning, production goods monitoring, orientation, location-dependent control, operational safety and, in general, situational perception. The goal is therefore to harmonize and organize 3D building information assets from different domains (architecture, planning, geoinformatics, etc.) as a basis for human-machine interaction in intelligent production environments.
