Die Anmeldung für die DGPF-Jahrestagung 2020, 4.-6. März 2020 in Stuttgart, ist ab sofort hier möglich: https://www.conftool.net/dgpf2020/index.php?page=login Gruppen von Studis ab 10 Personen bekommen einen Sondertarif! Deadline für die Einreichung von Beiträgen ist am 31. Oktober 2019 - also bald. Wir würden uns über spannende Beiträge im Bereich der Geoinformatik für die Sitzung des AK Geoinformatik::Methodik freuen.

A new tutorial for the 3DGeo’s LiDAR simulation software HELIOS has been posted to the repository’s wiki page. It shows a simple way to generate scenes of real landscapes including building and vegetation models as well as terrain from NASA JPL’s SRTM data. When applied to OSM data in the city of Vienna, the obtained 3D [...]

In a new publication, we show how deep neural networks can be used in an end-to-end manner for the classification of 3D point clouds from airborne laser scan data. The research, based on the award-winning diploma thesis of Lukas Winiwarter at TU Wien, has now been published in “PFG - Photogrammetrie, Fernerkundung, Geoinformation“, the Journal [...]

Within the BMBF-funded project ER3DS (Emission Reduction in Smart Cities Using 3D Spatial Sensing and Analysis) a second workshop and exchange visit was organized and hosted by the National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) in Tainan, Taiwan, from 16 September to 19 September 2019. The first day included two lectures at the Dept. of Geomatics (Prof. Wang), [...]

We would like to invite you to contribute actively to the DGPF Annual Conference 2020 (Jahrestagung) in Stuttgart. Deadline for abstract submissions (500-1500 words) is 31 October 2019. Our Working Group for Geoinformatics is looking forward to recent research and workbench insights covering the full range of methods in geoinformatics. Go for it and submit your [...]

How do the dynamics of surface change on a rock glacier look like over an entire summer season? And how is rockfall activity and storage and talus supply from the headwall of a rock glacier related to patterns of its movement? These and other questions are currently investigated within the AHK-4D and Geomorph4D projects of the 3DGeo [...]

Change analysis of rock glaciers is crucial to analyzing the adaptation of surface and subsurface processes to changing environmental conditions at different timescales because rock glaciers are considered as potentially unstable slopes and solid water reservoirs. To quantify surface change in complex surface topographies with varying surface orientation and roughness, [...]

3DGeo group member Lukas Winiwarter was awarded the third place of this year’s AGEO award at the AGIT2019 in Salzburg for his diploma thesis on “Classification of 3D Point Clouds using Deep Neural Networks”. It was carried out at TU Wien under the supervision of Dr. Gottfried Mandlburger and Prof. Dr. Norbert Pfeifer, and has [...]

We cordially invite everybody interested to our next open GIScience colloquium talk! The speaker is Dr. Anette Eltner TU Dresden, Institute of Photogrammetry und Remote Sensing When: Monday 01.07.2019, 2:15 pm Where: INF 348, room 015 (Institute of Geography, Heidelberg University) Image processing for geomorphological and hydrological monitoring The potential of images to answer research questions in geosciences is vast. Earth observation [...]

From 22 - 25 June, the first field visit within the project AHK-4D - High-resolution and high-frequency monitoring of the rock glacier Äußeres Hochebenkar (AHK) in Austria took place in the Austrian Alps. The aim of this project is to develop a methodology to quantify the magnitudes and frequencies of individual surface change processes of a [...]
