Bio
Dr. Costas Armenakis (Dipl Ing, MScE, PhD) is an Associate Professor of Geomatics Engineering, Dept. of Earth & Space Science & Engineering, Lassonde School of Engineering. He joined York University in 2007, after 17 years as a research scientist with Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). He has over 30 years of research experience in photogrammetry, remote sensing and GIS, working on the acquisition, handling, processing and management of geo-spatial data and information from terrestrial, aerial and space-borne sensors.
Dr. Armenakis’ research interests are in the areas of photogrammetric engineering and remote sensing mapping, including unmanned mobile sensing and mapping, robotic mapping, 3D imaging and measurements, photogrammetric processing of image-sequences, mapping from high resolution imagery, 3D modelling using optical and lidar data, indoor navigation and mapping and the integration of GIS and remote sensing methods and data for spatial risk assessment and disaster management.
He is an ISPRS Fellow and served as President of the ISPRS Technical Commission IV on Digital Mapping and GeoDatabases (2000-2004). Currently he is co-chair of the ISPRS ICWG I/Vb Unmanned Vehicle Systems (UVS): Sensors and Applications. He is a Professional Engineer registered in the Province of Ontario and a member of the Canadian Institute of Geomatics, the Canadian Remote Sensing Society and the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing.
