Project overview

UrbanMapper uses a solid-state LiDAR sensor paired with a photogrammetry camera to produce centimeter-accurate 3D point clouds of urban environments in real time. The data pipeline feeds directly into a web-based viewer and exports to standard GIS formats.

Who we're looking for

  • Computer vision engineer (point cloud processing, SLAM)
  • GIS specialist for data pipeline integration
  • City government or urban planning partner for pilot

Project goals

  • Real-time 3D reconstruction at 10Hz
  • Integration with ArcGIS and QGIS
  • Pilot mapping project with a municipality

Request to collaborate

Introduce yourself and tell Lena Hoffmann why you'd be a great fit for UrbanMapper.
