Geomatics can be considered, today, an engineering capable of providing solutions and answers to the real world. From systems capable of simulating virtual realities that allow the user to integrate into a world full of possibilities, to 3D modelling procedures based on images captured by conventional cameras (including tablets or smartphones) and non-expert users. This last alternative, part of the speciality developed by the TIDOP group, finds great followers in the various fields of engineering and architecture. Notable among them are the modelling of welds for technical inspection, help in optimising the location of solar panels in buildings, road management or the conservation of historical and cultural heritage.
This is a cross-disciplinary engineering with many possibilities, “the engineering of engineering” since it is the one that many other engineering fields are based on, such as: Roads, Agriculture, Forestry, Mines, etc. In fact, a study by Forbes places Geomatics as one of the ten professions with the most future, which young people do not know about.
