DINSA leads alongside the University of Salamanca and the University of Vigo the R & D project for the design and construction of a device capable of providing detailed information about the buildings for the elaboration of energy audits.

The device will be able to enter the data into the energy rating programs authorized by the IDAE. The acquisition of data is obtained by devices of geo-location, image and thermographs incorporated to terrestrial or aerial vehicles. This way, three-dimensional maps are generated with all the thermal information of the building envelopes and their location.

The project aims to design and build a charging system for electric vehicles with versatile connectors and built-in payment system. In the new field of electric vehicles, this recharging system will become an innovative device. DINSA leads this project, funded by the Centre for Technological and Industrial Development.

Due to technical, economic and environmental reasons, electric and hybrid rechargeable vehicles are becoming increasingly widespread.

SIGVA (GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR AIRCRAFT) is a compact and easy to use geo-referencing system, adaptable to any air or land vehicle, which offers geo-referenced data without the need for large post-processing.
Thus, vehicles carrying this system can provide information on their position and trajectory, make surface temperature maps of interest and get images of the visible spectrum, for later downloading and unification.
The enormous possibilities of obtaining geo-referenced data have been demonstrated through many applications in both civil and military fields, thanks in large part to the advances in accuracy achieved through Global Positioning Systems (GPS).
The project presented has a very important scope in the development and evolution of the GIS-based technologies, since they are the vehicle which allows to approach technologies that require specialization, as are the systems of geospatial information and their application in new sectors.

It consists of a process of cartographic ortho-rectification that eliminates the geometric distortions and scales inherent to satellite photos and images, product of sensor imperfections, topographic variations and Earth’s curvature.
The result is an image with the mapping precision and invariable scale of a map/plan, but with the level of detail of a photograph. Currently, performing this process involves hard work and very expensive software, which becomes a barrier for many users who cannot afford it.
The main goal of the project will be to design and develop a digital ortho-rectification system for urban environments (infrastructures, buildings, roads) by means of advanced processing of heterogeneous information (geographic location, satellite, aerial photographs) obtained from multi-device systems to geo-referencing terrains with maximum accuracy, through a multi-site web platform.
