2015.08 | RockRisk project | UPC | New website

Hi! Good news, we have a new website for the RockRisk project, This is challenging project leaded by my colleagues at Technical school of Catalonia (Nieves Lantada and Jordi Corominas) aiming to investigate rockfall hazard and risk, both studying rockfall volumes, fragmentation, propagation and vulnerability of the building to rockfall impacts. Please, take a look at the website and collaborators…

2014.10 – Please, support the CloudCompare open source project

Support the CloudCompare open source project! CloudCompare is an open source tool for editing and processing dense 3D point clouds (such as those acquired with laser scanners). Since I found it very useful, I would like to support their current campaign for supporting this project. Please, take a look here: https://pledgie.com/campaigns/19052 I’ve already collaborated! 😀

2014.06 – 3D point clouds from conventional Smartphones

I was really interested on this new application from my colleagues of the Computer Vision and Geometry Lab of ETH Zurich. They developed an application for smartphone that turns mobile-captured images into 3D point clouds. The user simply moves the phone around the object of interest aiming to maximize the common points between both images and a big enough parallax…

2014.03 – Fieldwork in Argentina

On February this year, thanks to the Swiss National project I’m enroled as a post-doc researcher and leade by Prof. Michel Jaboyedoff (Risk Analysis group, Unil), I had the chance to perform fieldwork research in the Andes and Patagonia (Argentina) in collaboration with my colleagues Dr. Ivanna Penna and Sergio Daicz from Univ. Lausanne. We have there collaborated with the…
