Key Achievements

• 2006–2008. R&D on high-resolution aerial surveying methods and the transition to digital technology in the VITUKI Remote Sensing Department (ARGOS Studio)

  Subproject leader for the internally funded R&D project ‘Options for Acquiring Full-Coverage Aerial Imagery with Digital Cameras for Water and Environmental Management, and Computer-Based Production of Land-Cover Maps through Aerial Image Interpretation’ in the Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering Division of the Directorate for Water Management and Environmental Protection. He completed the institute's transition from analogue to digital aerial photography. Taking advantage of new technical possibilities, he developed a high-resolution airborne remote sensing method and resolved rectification problems in assembling aerial image maps acquired at low flight altitudes.

• 2007. - Bakó - Eiselt: Assessment of the Environmental Condition of Halásztelek 2007–2009, pp. 1-170 {An environmental study of Halásztelek}, Szent István University, Gödöllő. Client: Municipality of Halásztelek

• 2007. - Measurement of radon activity concentration at municipal scale - a representative survey methodology

• 2009. - Bakó - Molnár: Development of the Interspect IS 1 digital metric camera

  Clients increasingly demanded finer ground resolution from aerial surveys for water management, nature conservation and municipalities, and higher productivity from surveys at conventional scales. This required the development of a calibrated camera that met the stringent quality requirements for metric cameras while offering the high sensitivity and shutter speeds of state-of-the-art handheld cameras.
• 2009. - Bakó - Molnár - Arday - Eiselt: The world's most detailed aerial image map of an extensive area produced from a fixed-wing aircraft (a mosaic of Budapest Zoo and Botanical Garden with a ground resolution of 1.8 cm)

  In 2009, he participated as a designer and airborne camera operator in a landmark project in the history of the profession, producing what was then the world's highest-ground-resolution aerial image mosaic of Budapest Zoo and Botanical Garden, at 1.8 cm resolution. Both the camera systems required for the flight and the aircraft itself had to be specially modified.
• 2010. - Bakó - Molnár: Development of the Interspect IS 2 digital multispectral metric camera

  He designed Interspect's in-house digital aerial metric cameras (IS 1, IS 2, IS 3, IS 4 MACS/SCMC, etc.) and actively participated in their testing. These high-speed calibrated metric cameras enable the capture of motion-blur-free images with sub-centimetre ground resolution even at an aircraft ground speed of 200 km/h.
• 2010. - Multispectral aerial survey of the area affected by the red mud disaster to support rescue operations, interventions and remediation

  At the request of the water damage response service, the photographic flight was conducted in overcast conditions below a cloud base of 400 m, using a Cessna C-182 aircraft with an Interspect multispectral metric camera looking vertically down through an opening in the aircraft floor, followed by handheld photography with an oblique camera axis.
• 2011. - Bakó-Molnár: Development of the Interspect IS 3 digital multispectral metric camera

  The IS2 proved itself in operational use, making it worthwhile to develop a stable multispectral version. Special lenses, filters and sensors had to be procured; the camera lenses were then assembled, followed by the metric camera itself.
• 2011–2018 - Editor-in-Chief of the journal Remote Sensing Technologies and GIS

  The Institute of Cartography and Geoinformatics at the Faculty of Informatics of Eötvös Loránd University published its specialist journal twice a year between 2011 and 2018. Each six-monthly issue contained 5–10 scientific articles selected from manuscripts assessed by independent reviewers. Editor-in-Chief: Gábor Bakó. Editors: Csaba Bartha, Anita Gruber, Péter Kardeván, Eszter Lelleiné Kovács, Béla Licskó, János Nagy, Tibor Szerdahelyi, László Zentai. Additional contributors: János Mészáros, Zsolt Molnár.
• • 2011. - Launch of a hiking film series showcasing Hungarian landscapes

    The series has produced more than 140 episodes since 2011.
  • • 2011. - Compilation of a modern glossary of remote sensing, photogrammetry and photographic technology

      Digital technologies had replaced analogue methods in remote sensing and related fields, making a new, standardised professional glossary timely. It also served as a specialist dictionary and was used by municipalities, service providers and lawyers when drafting procurement documents and contracts until 2020. In 2020, work to finalise the glossary as an expanded, multi-stakeholder version of the recommendations was coordinated by Dr Péter Engler.
