Emmanuel Alby

Emmanuel Alby is a Lecturer in the Civil Engineering and Topography Department at the University of Strasbourg, affiliated with INSA Strasbourg. He is a Researcher in the ICUBE Research Unit's TRIO Team and a member of the PAGE team. His work focuses on integrating geomatics technologies such as photogrammetry, laser scanning, and 3D modeling for archaeological and cultural heritage documentation.

Research Interests: Alby's research emphasizes digital documentation of archaeological sites, 3D modeling of heritage structures, and the development of low-cost solutions for artifact and site recording. His work bridges traditional archaeological methods with cutting-edge technologies like UAV imagery, point cloud processing, and semantic segmentation for heritage preservation.

Key Contributions: Alby has pioneered methodologies for combining photogrammetry and laser scanning data to create comprehensive 3D models of sites such as the Bronze Age cave "Les Fraux" and the Monastery of Saint Hilarion in Gaza. He has also developed open-source tools for real-time 3D visualization and semantic analysis of archaeological data.

Articles Trends: His publications highlight advancements in 3D reconstruction techniques, artifact identification algorithms, and the application of machine learning to architectural heritage. Recent work includes real-time smartphone-based depth mapping and long-term monitoring of excavation sites in Jordan and France.

Labs/Teams: Active in ICUBE's TRIO and PAGE teams, Alby collaborates on projects involving heritage preservation, archaeological surveying, and interdisciplinary geomatics applications.
