CUT Staff Exchange II at UCL for ENGINEER project
The third of the series of CUT Staff Exchanges (SE3) took place in UCL between 22-23 April 2024. During this 2-day event, CUT staff had the opportunity to take a tour of UCL laboratories and experience how the infrastructure operates.
ENGINEER Workshop III at UCL
Following the initial two workshops hosted by CUT and UAVEIRO, the third workshop of the ENGINEER project convened on April 22-23, 2024 (M18) at UCL premises in London, England. Workshop III (W3), themed "Sensors and Testing for Environmental Characterization of Historic Buildings," featured a diverse array of presentations spanning geomatics, energy efficiency in traditional buildings, forensics, and structural health monitoring in heritage sites and historical structures. Attendees also participated in demonstrations and hands-on exercises. A representative from Geomatrix SME showcased...

Argyro Argyrou’s Poster Presentation at the CAA Conference at Serres, Greece
PhD candidate, Argyro Argyrou, presented her research at the Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology (CAA) conference hosted at Serres, Greece between 16-17 of April, 2024. Her research work pertains to the detection of archaeological surface ceramics using very high-resolution remotely sensed data from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). Through her PhD research, Argyro also attempts to fill a gap in the current literature by utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods for detecting non-uniformly distributed surface ceramics in high-resolution remote imagery. Argyrou...
Argyro Argyrou’s presentation at the 3rd Doctoral Colloquium
Argyro Argyrou, PhD candidate at CUT under the supervision of Assistant Professor Athos Agapiou, attended the 3rd Doctoral Colloquium hosted by the University of Cyprus. Argyro presented her PhD research related to ceramic detection from UAV and multispectral imaging. Argyro is using machine learning algorithms and boosting techniques to optimize the overall results. Argyro’s research is directly related to the ENGINEER project which was acknowledged during her talk.
ENGINEER data re-used as class material for Photogrammetry module at CUT (Geomatics BSc)
Prof. Dimitrios Skarlatos has re-used drone imagery, acquired during ENGINEER Summer School I at the Tombs of the Kings over Tomb 7, as class material for the Photogrammetry II module lectured for the needs of Geomatics BSc at CUT. More specifically, the students are called to process RTK drone photos using Context Capture to produce Orthophotos and Digital Surface Models (DSMs).
