Current projects
Freeze For Future - Young people create virtual glacier worlds for future climate change education
Climate change and glacier retreat are no longer a far-away future's forecast, rather they are the present's reality, also in Austria. Only in a few years, several glaciers in Austria will not be accessible any longer for the purpose of climate change education due to glacier retreat. Therefore, this project "Freeze For Future - Glacier Worlds" wants to use today's window of opportunity to "freeze" the currently still possible glacier walks for future climate change education by applying Virtual Reality (VR). Moreover, the virtual "Freeze For Future - Glacier Worlds" enable convenient and easy "access to the glaciers" for numerous young people in climate change education settings without major organisational effort, financial costs, as well as an additional carbon footprint for traveling. Furthermore, this project enables young people with disabilities in the first place to experience and "access glaciers" (as well as subsequently other settings for Education for Sustainable Development) due to the VR environment.
Data from octocopter flights recorded by different laser scanners and cameras as well as subsequently processed with a complex software will create to the virtual three-dimensional "preservation of the glaciers" for this project at the time of recording. Furthermore, the possibility to visualize the glacier's volume loss over time based on the repeated data acquisition due to the impressive glacier retreat, highlight this project's informative as well as digitally explorative potential. In order to provide young people with an effective VR tool for climate change education, the input for the VR environment will be collected, created and designed by young people themselves. In an iterative process including evaluation and development, the prototype should develop into the final product over the course of the project. In total, more than 1,000 pupils will therefore participate directly and indirectly in the project. In this citizen science project young people will be supported and accompanied by national and international experts from climate change education as well as from the field of VR education and laser- and copter- technology.
The virtual environments created in this project should enable more people to experience nature and thus the value of its protection. The Alpine glaciers, its level is approximately 10 years behind the actual climate conditions, show clearly how urgent it is to "Freeze For Future", before it is too late.

Smart Vegetation
In the "Smart Vegetation" project (Austrian Research Promotion Agency) value-added geodata sets are to be generated on the basis of laser scanning data, which will allow a fine-scale evaluation of the ecosystem services provided by trees in urban areas and along river courses. This will provide an insight into (micro)climatic interactions and the cooling effect of trees. Shading and transpiration can have significant cooling effects on the environment, especially during summer heat waves. Looking at recent summer heat waves and corresponding future climate forecasts, these are of high relevance for sustainable, health-relevant planning of cities and public areas.
The software tools developed for this purpose will be used to derive new GIS-ready tree inventories and tree models that:
- enable a discrete 3D description of the branch system as a tube model and the leaves as a polygon or voxel model (turbid medium),
- via voxel-based approaches, translate the laser scanning point density distributions into leaf area distributions (Leaf Area Index, LAI) and permeability of the vegetation,
- simulate irradiance and shading relevant parameters for watercourses and urban climate based on processing 1) and 2), and
- calculate evapotranspiration or the conversion of simulated radiant energy into latent heat and thus the relative cooling effect, based on treatments 1),2) and simulation 3).
Recently finished projects
i2MON (2018-2022)
"i2MON" (Integrated Impact Monitoring in the frame of the EU Research Fund on Coal and Steel, number 800689) was dedicated to deliver the mining sector, government, citizens and all stakeholders affected by previous and current mining activity with a set of extended monitoring, measurement and analysis tools for identification of mining impact related to ground and slope movements and support with essential information concerning the ground surface condition at mining and post mining areas.
The work included the development of innovative monitoring tools for enhanced ground and slope motion monitoring using advanced terrestrial (low-cost geodetical, geotechnical sensors), both laser and radar technology, spaceborne (Sentinel, TerraSAR-X PSI) and airborne (UAV) technology delivering continuous, near real time data acquisition and extensive areal information. As important part ground and slope motion models (FEM) and spatial deformation analyses methods (point-cloud deformation detection) were developed, adapted and directly integrated with the monitoring information to dramatically improve the temporal and spatial information density and result exploitation.
3D VISION (2018-2020)
The "3D VISION" project was funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (project number 867906) in the frame of the 10th COIN "Network" call and supports the City of Vienna in the fight against urban heat islands. It was a collaboration between the companies LASERDATA, Grid-IT, Soma Architecture and Spatial Services, working together on a specific site, the Franz-Josefs-Station in Vienna.
The project developed new methods and processing pipelines for the automated exploitation of 3D point cloud data. Point cloud data was pre-processed with innovative evaluation methods, automatically classified and converted into high-quality, detailed vector models of buildings, vegetation and infrastructure as well as into digital plans. These results were taken up and further refined by the network partners to develop industry-specific new products, to perform climatic simulations, and to create 3D (online) viewers, augmented reality environments and innovative services.
