Forschungsprojekte Geoinformatik / GIScience
HeiGIT
Wir kooperieren eng mit der HeiGIT gGmbH, An-Institut an der Universität Heidelberg. Das Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology (HeiGIT) möchte den Wissens- und Technologietransfer aus der Grundlagenforschung im Bereich Geoinformatik in die Praxis verbessern – und dies auf Basis innovativer Geoinformationstechnologien. 2019 wurde das HeiGIT als An-Institut der Universität Heidelberg gegründet und wird seitdem von der Klaus Tschira Stiftung getragen. Das Institut forscht und entwickelt intelligente Routing- und Navigationsdienste für nachhaltige Mobilität und stellt Geodaten für die Unterstützung humanitärer Einsätze zur Verfügung. Zudem werden innovative Dienste aus dem Spatial Data Mining und Maschinellem Lernen zur Analyse, Verarbeitung, Anreicherung und Visualisierung von nutzergenerierten Geodaten (z.B. OpenStreetMap) eingesetzt.
