The project activities aim at fully harmonizing the technical specifications, which the two bordering territories refer to in the field of mapping. This project is characterized by a high technological and scientific profile and is the first example of cooperation between the Friuli Venezia Giulia region and the Republic of Slovenia. To achieve these objectives, large-scale, accurate and updated topographic databases are necessary and shall be translated into computer-based patterns to ensure a consistent update of the cadastral mapping. The recent technological innovations provide the opportunity to use new measuring systems, based on air and land laser scanning, whereby a huge quantity of accurate high-density data on the sensed area can be acquired and stored, facilitating and simplifying the creation of topographic bases. The peculiarity of this project lies in the opportunity to detect a common language between the various types of mapping so that, by means of topographic data, one can provide, even within a three-dimensional space, a uniform representation of the territory. The development of the project envisages several stages: coordination activities, a research laboratory in the fields of geomatics and overhaul of cadastral mapping, experimental and innovative sensing techniques and dissemination of results during training sessions.
