The department has a geomatics and remote sensing experiment center, with 25 seats of remote sensing image processing software including ENVI and Ecognition, and 40 seats of aerial triangulation software. It is also equipped with the internationally- advanced equipment like UAV, oblique air survey camera, hyper-spectral imager and so forth.

Geomatics and Remote Sensing Experimental Center

The center aims at providing laboratory support to both teaching and research activities of all departments of the school. Supported by two key disciplines, the Cartography and Geographic Information Engineering which is a key discipline of Beijing and the Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering which is a key discipline of BUCEA, the center hosts 4 instrument rooms for surveying, digital topographic surveying, control surveying and magneto-electric measurement, as well as 15 research labs including smart city, virtual reality, spectral analysis, ancient architecture surveying, indoor positioning and navigation, architecture security monitoring and radio frequency positioning. In addition, there are two large-scale practice and training sites in Jiufeng National Forest Park and Daxing Campus.

In recently years, the center has also expanded its services through acquiring GNSS CORS, MIS, calibration service and high-level and high-accuracy instruments to meet the requirements of both undergraduate and graduate teaching and better serve the needs of faculty and student’s research.
