Scientific Direction
Research center scientific direction

The FOXEL Labs research center is originally created to offer a framework for research and development related to FOXEL technologies and solutions. Its main laboratories are then oriented toward research on photogrammetry and geodesy.

Moreover, FOXEL Labs research center is also eager to meet research and researcher from all background in order to bring FOXEL technologies and their subsequent service into society while addressing the challenges brought by their technological and societal breakthrough.

Research center fellows

This section gives the list of FOXEL Labs fellows and their position in the research center. Each laboratory offers a similar page to gives a more detailed presentation of its research fellows.

The scientific direction is in charge of research center administration and the survey of the conducted research in each laboratories. The scientific direction is the meeting point of the laboratories head and is also the privileged interlocutor for partnerships.

Laboratories and publications

This section gives the overview of the laboratories and their publication. Laboratories have a presentation repository that belong to the FOXEL Labs main organisation in which publications are released. Moreover, the laboratories have their own organisation and the developments files are organised in their repositories, each repository covering a specific domain of research of the laboratory.

Internal organisation

The scientific direction is in charge of the organisation and the framework of the research center. It is then responsible of ethical survey of the conducted research in the laboratories and the external communication. Moreover, laboratory creation and laboratory director nomination is also under the responsibility of the scientific direction.

Laboratory directors are responsible of the conducted research and their ability to fulfil the research and development needs according to the state of the technology and solutions. They are the bridge between the scientific direction and research conducted under their supervision to bring innovative solutions from pure research toward industrial solutions. As the scientific direction gives the general direction of research, the laboratory directors have the flexibility to nominate their laboratory research fellows. Moreover, the internal organisation of the laboratory is also under the responsibility of their director.

As research for research is clearly not the goal of the FOXEL Labs research center, and taking into account that documenting each single research code is a wishful thinking, the internal organisation of the research center impose a way of conducting the research in each laboratory :

The github wiki of each laboratory repository is used to provided a minimal documentation of the research code. The framework of this documentation has to follow the wiki provided by the laboratory of certification

Any conducted research, of sub-research, as to follow the usual scientific framework in the way a publications are expected and the wiki of the laboratories on the main research center organisation are used to publish them. Those publication are seen as intermediates publication supporting the edition of scientific publications.
