The Institute of Geomatics Engineering in the School of Civil Engineering, Chongqing University has a staff of 16 people, which includes 7 associate professors and 9 lecturers. The institute is focused on combining the requirements of Civil Engineering to explore the research and application in modern geomatics technology of GPS, surveying robot, laser scanning, close-range photogrammetry, hyper-spectral/high resolution remote sensing image data processing, etc., carrying out the forefront research in surveying and construction of roads and bridges, deformation monitoring of super structures, the geological hazards monitoring and evaluation. The Institute of Geomatics Engineering transfer the research outcome into productivity and devote to cultivate high-quality undergraduates and post graduates with the thorough grounding in geomatics disciplines, modern measurement skills and independent scientific research abilities. For now, the institute has been awarded two ministerial and provincial levels Sci-tech Advance Prize, two National Natural Science Foundation of China, participating in a number of key construction projects.
