Hugo Ledoux

Hugo Ledoux is an academic affiliated with the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at Delft University of Technology, specializing in Urban Data Science. His research focuses on 3D geospatial modeling, including CityGML standards, terrain analysis, and automated reconstruction of urban structures. He has contributed to projects like the DeltaDTM coastal terrain model and the cjdb database solution for CityGML.

• Education: Not explicitly detailed in text, but inferred through academic roles and publications.

Research interests emphasize 3D geoinformation systems, remote sensing applications, and urban data science. His work addresses challenges in 3D city models, building reconstruction, and geospatial validation tools like Val3dity. Recent efforts include improving global terrain models using ICESat-2 and GEDI lidar data.

Publications span automated building reconstruction workflows, terrain accuracy assessments, and semantic-guided facade modeling. Awards include the Best Presentation at 3DGeoInfo 2020 and the U.V. Helava Award for Best Paper in 2011.

Ledoux has supervised 4 academic works and actively participates in conferences, editorial activities, and open-source software development for geospatial applications.

Labs/Teams: Involved in TU Delft’s 3D geoinformation research, contributing to tools like 3dfier and CityJSON for 3D data interoperability.
