LAB FOR SPATIAL INFORMATICS (LSI) @IIIT Hyderabad has been at the forefront of Geospatial Science, Research & Applications with a multi-disciplinary approach. All facets of Geospatial Sciences - Study, analysis and modelling of space-time characteristics of an object, event or phenomena); combined with the evolving technological landscape - Sensor tech like satellite, drone, LiDAR, IoT for data acquisition; Geodata storage & handling; Online Map Production/Dissemination, Visualization in 2D, 3D & 4D); and Application specific Solution & Services; are posing a range of research challenges. LSI has been addressing these in Remote Sensing, Geospatial Data Sciences, and Modelling & Simulation of Land, Water and Environmental changes. This research Lab @IIIT Hyderabad provides a unique platform for fellow researchers to collaborate and also to Post-Doc/PhD/MS level to work across core and applied research problems with a multi-disciplinary approach.
