Project Description
This project aims to review an assess existing remote sensing technologies in order to improve and adapt technologies currently used in other fields to civil engineering applications. The two main aims are:
1) Assess the possible use of fiber optics technology for continuous remote sensing and monitoring of structures and slopes.
2) Develop enhanced new data analysis tools and procedures to enhance existing remote sensing technologies
