Welcome

The Navigation, Georeferencing, and Mapping (NaGeM) Research Group at the University of Florida Geomatics Program is a multidisciplinary team focused on integrating technologies to create precision georeferenced remote sensing data on mobile platforms. By developing modular sensor platforms with well defined error models and flexible integration-oriented architecture, we build a foundation for a variety of applications. This provides a range of potential systems, from lightweight unmanned aircraft systems to precision ground-based platforms. The modular design lends itself to a variety of remote sensing technologies including, visual, infrared, multispectral, hyperspectral, and LiDAR imaging.

Knowledge Base

    The multidisciplinary approach to NaGeM research goals incorporates these fields and technologies:

  • Global Network of Satellite Systems (GNSS)
