Here we develop methods for the automated extraction and analysis of the building stock, settlement and open space structures as well as changes to these. [more]
- Analysis and Visualisation by means of Spatial Data Mining
This includes the application and refinement of methods for the identification and visualisation of spatial patterns and feature correlations.
- Forecast Methods
Here we develop methods of forecasting including the derivation of high-resolution forecasts of the development in residential building area.
- Tools and Research Data Infrastructures
Tools and research data infrastructures must be developed and made available for the transfer of knowledge and experiences as well as for research-based consulting.
