The 10th International Colloquium on Scientific and Fundamental Aspects of GNSS will bring together members of the European scientific community and international partners involved in the use of Galileo and other GNSS in their research.
The colloquium will address several major areas of research:
- Scientific applications in meteorology, geodesy, geodynamics, geophysics, space physics, oceanography, land surface and ecosystem studies;
- Scientific developments in physics with a potential impact on future GNSS, particularly in testing fundamental laws of physics;
- Aspects of metrology such as reference frames, on board and ground clocks, precise orbit determination and time and frequency transfer; and
- Scientific aspects of satellite navigation, positioning and its applications, such as signal propagation, precise positioning;
The conference will be organised as a series of plenary talks, parallel half day sessions and poster presentations.
Gaussian splatting is rapidly gaining attention as a new way to create highly realistic 3D representations from imagery. But beyond impressive visualization, what can Gaussian splats actually be used for in photogrammetry? Join our guest Dr. Jules Morel, Data Analyst at Mirukuru in Japan, as we examine how Gaussian splats are created, what is required to achieve high-quality results, and where the technology fits within real-world photogrammetry workflows. We will also compare Gaussian splats with traditional textured meshes and discuss when each approach makes sense.
Specifically, attendees will learn about:
- Understanding the fundamentals of Gaussian splatting
- Capturing and processing imagery for high-quality results
- Using Gaussian splats for visualization and measurement
- Comparing splats with traditional textured meshes
