3D Mapping after earthquake
3D Mapping of the Vrissa region affected by the earthquake of Lesvos on 12/06/2017
Following the devastating earthquake of June 12, 2017, and the extraordinary conditions prevailing on the island of Lesvos the work of 3D mapping has been initiated in the affected area of the village of Vrissa. The project is being carried out by a specialized interdisciplinary research team from the University of the Aegean with the use of the appropriate technical equipment.
Fully reliable and high spatial resolution data (less than 1 cm) in three dimensions are provided from the implementation of high-resolution mapping techniques such as state-of-the-art technologies of aerial and terrestrial photogrammetry, UAV-Drones, Laser Scanners and cameras. Collected data is being utilized for 3D modeling of buildings by specialists studying the seismic behavior of the building stock and damage assessment.
Preliminary results from the three-dimensional mapping process are provided on the following websites of the Research Laboratories of Cartography and Geoinformatics of the Department of Geography and from the Environmental Quality and Geospatial Applications of the Department of Marine Sciences
