The ISPRS 3D Underwater Workshop has just begun! After yesterday's hands-on tutorials and the ice-breaker event, we are now ready for the exciting presentations. The opening was conducted by organiser and colleague Gottfried Mandlburger, as well as by Rector Jens Schneider.

Under the motto “Geospatial Image Data and Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Living Environments”, the three national societies for Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, and Geoinformation are meeting this week in Basel. Our department is also taking part with exciting contributions!

Our highly esteemed colleague, Prof. Gottfried Mandlburger, was appointed as a full professor of Optical Bathymetry at TUW in April 2025. Last week, he delivered his inaugural lecture entitled "Optical Hydrography: Charting the underwater world with photos and laser scans." (1/3)

Du bist neu an der TU Wien und musst neben Mathematik und Physik plötzlich auch Programmieren können? Um dir den Einstieg zu erleichtern, haben wir den Basiskurs Python für Naturwissenschaften entwickelt. Wir kombinieren grundlegende Theorie, Praxis und interaktive Beispiele.

👨‍🏫🎓 Our colleague Prof. Gottfried Mandlburger giving a talk at the 4th International Workshop Point Cloud Processing in #Stuttgart. Topic: Consumer-grade Unmanned Laser Scanning - orientation, resolution and accuracy

BIG NEWS! 🎉 Congratulations to our colleague Lucas Dammert, who has been awarded the 10th Heinrich-Wild-Preis 2024 in this anniversary year for his outstanding contributions to engineering geodesy! 🏆👏
