Projects
GReD s.r.l. – Geomatics Research & Development
Spin-off del Politecnico di Milano
http://www.g-red.eu [email protected] +39 031 3327522
Heli-dem project
The target of the Heli-dem project (http://www.helidem.eu)
is the computation of a new Digital Terrain Model (DTM)
That includes all the available information over the Alpine
And sub-Alpine area between Italy and Switzerland. The
Project is co-funded by FESR and includes the following
partners:
• Landscape and Urban General Directorate of Regione Lombardia;
• Geomatics Laboratory of the Department of Environmental, Hydraulic, Infrastructures
and Surveying Engineering (DIIAR) at Politecnico di Milano;
• Fondazione Politecnico di Milano;
• Department of Land Territory and Geotechnologies (DITAG) at Politecnico di Torino;
• Department for Strategic Programming, Spatial Policies and Housing of Regione Piemonte;
• Department for Environment Constructions and Design at the University of Applied
Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI).
In the framework of this project, GReD is supporting Politecnico di Milano for the merging
of the Swiss geoid CHGeo2004 with the Italian one ITALGEO05, by exploiting GOCE
observations and the EGM08 global gravity model.
GAL project
The target of the GAL project (http://www.gal-project.eu/) is the study and the
development of a new methodology for the determination of high-resolution local gravity
models by airborne gravimetry. The proposed methodology is now feasible by exploiting a
variety of different surveying technologies, such as GNSS observations (GPS and Galileo),
EGNOS and inertial units. The computed models are then combined with gravity data
coming from the ESA satellite mission GOCE. The project has been proposed by the GAL
Consortium, which comprises the following partners:
• Galileian Plus S.r.l.;
• Politecnico di Milano, Como Campus;
• Institut de Geomatica;
• DEIMOS Engenharia S.A.;
• Istituto geologico de Catalunya;
• Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.
The project kick off was on February 15, 2012. In the framework of this project, GReD is
supporting Politecnico di Milano in the development of new algorithms for precise satellite
positioning and for the integration of local gravity models with the global ones derived from
the GOCE mission.
Regional & national networks
Network
adjustment
of
regional
and
national
networks (GPS Lombardia,
Rete Lazio, Italpos and RDN
Networks)
to
routinely
compute
very
precise
permanent GNSS station
coordinates in a single
reference frame.
Gravimetric applications
GReD is working with the Department of
Environmental, Hydraulic, Infrastructures and
Surveying Engineering (DIIAR) at Politecnico di
Milano to considerably improve performances
of airborne kinematic gravimetry/gradiometry
in terms of accuracy and spatial resolution of
the retrieved local gravity field through the
developing of new algorithms and merging all
the routines in a unique software.
The combination of different observations of the gravitational field is a key task for
some industry, such as mining and oil & gas exploration, and it will allow for
instance to have preliminary information on the gravitational field in a local region
without any particular acquisition campaign or to have a refined grid if airborne
and ground data are available in the area. The major goal of the project is the
implementation of a software able to combine different gravity observations in a
multi-scale approach and to deliver a local grid of free air or bouguer gravity
anomalies.
Mapping urban underground
The target of the mapping urban
underground services (MUS project) is to
develop a prototypal solution to carry out
three-dimensional GEORADAR surveys over
large areas in urban environment. The city
underground is in fact strongly man-made by
several networks of services and nowadays
there is not a sufficient knowledge of the
actually placed infrastructures.
This implies a significant difficulty both in the maintenance of existing networks and
in the realization of new ones. In the framework of this project, GReD is supporting
the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DICA) of Politecnico di
Milano in the development of the GEORADAR positioning system based on low-cost
multi-antenna GPS. Although with degraded performances, the low-cost receivers
can in fact operate in hostile urban environment with a poor satellite visibility and a
multi-antenna system, in addition to guaranteeing a greater robustness, allows to
estimate the attitude of the vehicle with the GEORADAR on board.
Como lake subsidence
GOCE mission
It is an ESA mission, the first one based
on gravity gradiometry.
The goal of the mission is to estimate
the Earth gravitational field in terms
of spherical harmonic expansion up
to degree 200-250, with a commission
of 1-2 cm in terms of geoid.
Life of the mission:
• Launched on March 17, 2009 from Plesetsk;
• Fully operative since October 31, 2009;
• Main data gaps:
 From February 12, 2010 to March 1, 2010;
 From July 8, 2010, to September 1, 2010.
