About

Erica Nocerino is a leading researcher at the intersection of photogrammetry, computer vision, and robotics, with a focus on developing accessible, high-precision 3D mapping solutions. Her work is distinguished by a commitment to democratizing advanced spatial technologies, making them portable and cost-effective for diverse environments. A key contribution is her development of a modular, low-cost visual SLAM (vSLAM) system, detailed in her most-cited paper (16 citations), which demonstrates real-time 3D mapping capabilities spanning from indoor and outdoor spaces to challenging underwater environments. This innovation bridges traditional surveying with modern robotics, significantly enhancing on-site efficiency and data quality. Nocerino has also pioneered low-cost motion capture systems for specialized applications, such as postural analysis onboard ships (13 citations), merging biomechanics with practical engineering. Her research consistently pushes the boundaries of what is achievable with affordable hardware, enabling new possibilities in fields from cultural heritage documentation to marine robotics. Through her work, Nocerino is shaping a future where sophisticated 3D mapping is not confined to expensive labs but is a practical tool for researchers and professionals worldwide.
