  • Successful PhD defense of Katharina Anders

    On Tuesday, 16 November 2021, Dr Katharina Anders defended her PhD research with great success. In her dissertation, Katharina developed methods on 4D change analysis to extract natural surface changes from near-continuous LiDAR time series of dynamic landscapes. Congratulations, Katharina, for this excellent research – we are very proud to have you in our team…

  • Research and Career Network: Close-range Sensing Techniques in Alpine Terrain – Alumni Event

    A virtual alumni event of the Innsbruck Summer School of Alpine Research will take place on Tuesday, 7th December, 15:00-17:00. Close- and remote sensing techniques turned to essential methods for mapping and quantifying processes in mountain environments. Many different sensor systems, platforms and analysis approaches are available for observing and monitoring dynamic patterns and extracting…

  • Uncovering the dynamics of the inland dunes in Sandhausen using UAV-borne 3D data acquisition

    For the first time, the inland dunes in Sandhausen (Baden-Württemberg, Germany) have been captured by UAV-borne photogrammetry and laser scanning. The dunes are a precious habitat for many specialized plants and animals. They formed during the last ice age by sand drift from the Rhine valley. The large inland dunes, originally stretching from Karlsruhe to…

  • New paper: Opaque voxel-based tree models for virtual laser scanning in forestry applications

    In the SYSSIFOSS project, we are investigating how we can take advantage of virtual laser scanning (VLS), the simulation of laser scanning in a computer environment, in forestry applications. These applications include survey planning and optimization, sensitivity analyses, and algorithm development. For example, VLS may be used to investigate the influence of different sensor and…

  • Multi-source 3D point cloud acquisition at the AHK rock glacier

    Within the AHK-4D project, we continually monitor topographic change at the alpine rock glacier Äußeres Hochebenkar in Austria. Based on multitemporal and multi-source 3D point clouds at up to two-week acquisition intervals, we are developing methods to quantify the magnitudes and frequencies of individual processes of topographic change over varying timescales. This year, we have…
