The main research directions are focused in the areas of data collection, data processing and analysis, Geographical Information Systems, production and evaluation of cartographic products and application modelling.

  • Using remote sensing to assess the spatial distribution and condition of vegetation. Use of satellite, hyperspectral, multispectral and LiDAR data from UAVs and aircraft. (contact persons: doc. RNDr. Lucie Kupková, Ph.D., Ing. Markéta Potůčková, Ph.D., Mgr. Lucie Červená, Ph.D.)

  • Mathematical cartography, cartographic algorithms, computer geometry, C++ programming. (contact person: doc. Ing. Tomáš Bayer, Ph.D.)

  • Land use/cover changes (LUCC) – historical land use changes of Czech cultural landscape, searching “driving forces”, application of GIS in LUCC research.  (contact persons: doc. RNDr. Přemysl Štych, Ph.D., doc. RNDr. Lucie Kupková, Ph.D.)

  • Application of GIS in environmental systems – modelling environmental processes, time-spatial analyses, geostatistical tools. (contact persons: doc. RNDr. Přemysl Štych, Ph.D.)

  • 3D modelling and visualisation (contact persons: Ing. Eva Štefanová, Ph.D, RNDr. Lukáš Brůha, Ph.D.)

  • Thematic cartography, digital cartography, automation of cartographic production (contact persons: RNDr. Jakub Lysák, Ph.D., doc. Ing. Tomáš Bayer, Ph.D.)

  • Historical cartography, old maps and old cartographic products (contact persons: doc. Ing. Tomáš Bayer, Ph.D., Ing. Miroslav Čábelka)

  • Terrestrial photogrammetry (documentation of monuments) and aerial photogrammetry (creation of digital orthophoto), geodesy, visualization of geodata (contact person: Ing. Eva Štefanová, Ph.D.)

  • Mapping, creation of large-scale maps and plans, geodetic calculations and measurements. (contact person: Ing. Miroslav Čábelka) 

  • Web map applications and mobile applications. (contact person: Ing. Miroslav Čábelka)

  • Global navigation satellite systems - technology of obtaining data on exact geographic location through satellites (GPS, Galileo, Glonass, Beidou and others).(contact person: Ing. Miroslav Čábelka)
