About

Jan Blachowski is a leading researcher in geospatial engineering and mobile mapping, with a focus on advancing 3D surveying technologies for industrial and environmental applications. His work centers on the development and validation of multi-sensor systems, particularly using LiDAR and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) techniques, to create dense, accurate 3D point clouds. A major contribution is his pioneering approach to damage detection in critical mining infrastructure, such as conveyor belt surfaces, using laser scanning data—a method that enhances operational reliability and safety. His research on the influence of LiDAR actuator systems on point cloud quality has advanced automated 3D mapping for autonomous vehicles and robotics. Blachowski also created the MIN3D Dataset, a benchmark multi-sensor 3D mapping dataset collected with an unmanned ground vehicle, which addresses key constraints in mobile mapping research by providing accessible, high-quality data for algorithm development. With his most-cited paper accumulating 49 citations, his work has significant impact on both academic research and practical applications in mining, surveying, and autonomous navigation.
