  • Kick-off: AImon5.0 – Real-time monitoring of gravitational mass movements for critical infrastructure risk management with AI-assisted 3D metrology

    In September 2023, our new research project AImon5.0 has been kicked-off. In this project the open-source frameworks HELIOS++ and py4dgeo of the 3DGeo research group will be combined to enhance current approaches for operational risk monitoring. AImon5.0 is an interdisciplinary collaboration project of the 3DGeo research group with DMT GmbH & Co. KG (project leader),…

  • Impressions from Silvilaser 2023

    Impressions from Silvilaser 2023

    Last week, our PhD student, Hannah Weiser, joined Silvilaser 2023 at University College London (UCL). The conference covers cutting-edge science and technology from the laser scanning and forest communities, which is a perfect match for Hannah’s PhD topic and 3DGeo research in general. The week started off with interesting workshops on Tuesday using some of…

  • Final meeting of the E-TRAINEE project

    Last week, the 3DGeo research group hosted the final meeting of the E-TRAINEE project, finally and for the first time in presence. For almost three years now, we have been developing a research-oriented open-source e-learning course – soon to be published! The course on “Time Series Analysis in Remote Sensing for Understanding Human-Environment Interactions” teaches…

  • Introducing the VirtuaLearn3D Project

    With VirtuaLearn3D (Virtual Laser Scanning for Machine Learning Algorithms in Geographic 3D Point Cloud Analysis), a new project of the 3DGeo group has started. The focus of this project is to enable powerful machine learning algorithms for geographic point cloud analysis by advancing the concept of virtual laser scanning to overcome the lack of training…

  • CharAct4D – Unravelling Landscape Dynamics via Automatic Characterization of Surface Activity using Geographic 4D Monitoring

    With her new project CharAct4D Dr. Katharina Anders has become part of the Eliteprogramme for Postdocs of the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung, which supports early career researchers to qualify for a professorship -check the related press release by Heidelberg University. Many congratulations, Katharina! Katharina’s research interests in the 3DGeo research group are method development for 3D/4D change analysis…

  • Continued multisource 3D point cloud acquisition at the AHK rock glacier

    While the impacts of global warming and current heat waves on glaciated areas have been in the focus of media reporting in recent weeks, also the dynamics of rock glaciers as part of the periglacial environment are strongly affected by changing climate. Rock glaciers are creep phenomena of mountain permafrost and an integral part of…

  • 3DGeo contributions to ISPRS Congress 2022 now online

    From 5 June – 11 June 2022 the ISPRS Congress took place in Nice, France. The 3DGeo research group had three paper contributions which can now be found online: (1) Virtual Laser Scanning of Dynamic Scenes Created From Real 4D Topographic Point Cloud Data. Find all details in the video (link) and paper and check…

  • Praktikum Scientific Software Development

    Die 3DGeo Forschungsgruppe (https://uni-heidelberg.de/3dgeo) der Abteilung Geoinformatik an der Universität Heidelberg sucht eine qualifizierte und motivierte Person für ein Praktikum als Scientific Software Developer*in (w/m/d) für einen Zeitraum von 3 bis 6 Monaten als stud./wiss.

  • New paper on “improving change analysis with full temporal information”

    In recently published work, we show how change analysis from near-continuous 3D time series improves by considering full temporal information. How can it be done? Using 4D objects-by-change! The method was applied to an hourly time series of terrestrial laser scans acquired for snow cover monitoring. In the snow-covered scene at the Zugspitze ski resort,…

  • RAUM & ZEIT: Unter Beobachtung – Umweltmodelle in 4D

    Was für Forschung und Ziele stecken denn hinter dieser Abbildung? In einem aktuellen Beitrag in der Zeitschrift Ruperto Carola erläutert Professor Höfle stellvertretend für die gesamte 3DGeo Heidelberg Forschungsgruppe, was Umweltbeobachtung in 4D bedeutet und hebt die Bedeutung von Open Science – Open Source – Open Access hervor: ABSTRACT: Rund um die Uhr beobachten Laserscanner…
