Laboratory of Cartographic Systems and Technologies - Scientific direction and research areas

The Laboratory of Cartographic Systems and Technologies (LCST) was created in 2000 on the basis of the scientific and research department "Automated Cartographic Systems and Technologies", which was formed in 1976 and was engaged in the development of automated cartographic systems and complexes. The department developed and implemented the first domestic technologies for creating and updating digital and electronic maps and plans based on the methods of raster input and cartographic images processing.

The main scientific direction: the development of methods and algorithms for processing cartographic information and Earth remote sensing data, the creation of information technologies for processing geospatial information, decision-making support in emergency situations, environmental monitoring, military applications and other technologies based on developed methods and algorithms.

Main research areas:

  • development of models for the presentation of geospatial information;
  • development of methods, algorithms and technologies for processing Earth remote sensing data to solve applied problems;
  • development of information technologies for automating cartographic work (creation and update of digital information about the terrain, including the information based on remote sensing data, automated preparation of maps for publication, automated compilation of topographic maps, creation of cartographic databases, etc.);
  • development of decision-making support information technologies based on methods of operational analysis of terrain properties in ecology, emergency situations, military applications, navigation;
  • mathematical modeling of ecological systems.

The main direction of applied research and development:

  • creation of software and information complexes for cartographic work automating;
  • creation of software and information complexes for Earth remote sensing data processing, including data from drones, to solve applied problems (city and land cadastre, environmental monitoring, emergency situations, military applications);
  • creation of geographic information systems for various purposes.
