María Luz Gil Docampo

María Luz Gil Docampo is a researcher at the University of Santiago de Compostela's Department of Agroforestry Engineering, focusing on photogrammetry, remote sensing, and 3D modeling applications. She collaborates extensively with colleagues like Juan Ortiz Sanz and Santiago Martínez Rodríguez, contributing to interdisciplinary projects in heritage conservation, structural analysis, and environmental monitoring.

• Education: PhD in Agroforestry Engineering (2001, University of Santiago de Compostela), with a thesis on satellite imagery applications.
• Research: Specializes in low-cost photogrammetric systems, 3D documentation of cultural heritage, biomass determination in agriculture, and land-use change detection using LiDAR and satellite data.
• Publications: 15+ journal articles and book chapters spanning 2001-2024, with recent work on full-scale timber structure monitoring (2024) and ethical considerations in multimedia systems (2021).
• Supervision: Directed 6 doctoral theses including UAV-based biomass monitoring (2022), agroforest plantation survival analysis (2016), and photogrammetry applications in archaeology (2020).
• Projects: Key member of GI-2114 Group (USCAN3D), developing cost-effective 3D scanning solutions for cultural assets and rural infrastructure.

Her work bridges technical innovation with practical applications in agriculture, forestry, and cultural heritage preservation, often involving multidisciplinary methodologies like UAV integration, open-source software, and LiDAR data analysis.
