Three invited speakers are now joining the compact course and workshop STAP19 on Spatial and Temporal Analysis of Geographic Phenomena organized by the 3DGeo and FCGL at IWR in Heidelberg.
Dr. Gottfried Mandlburger (Institute for Photogrammetry, University of Stuttgart) will give a talk on methods of feature and information extraction from geographic 3D point clouds. He is a main developer of the point cloud processing software OPALS (GEO Department, TU Vienna). A hands-on introduction to geographic point cloud analysis with OPALS will follow up his talk.
Prof. Dr. Andreas Nüchter (Institute of Computer Science, University of Würzburg) is joining for a session on state-of-the-art methods of 3D point cloud processing. He is head of the open source project 3D-Toolkit (3DTK), a powerful package of algorithms and methods for 3D processing. A practical exercise using 3DTK will complement this session.
Jorge Martínez-Sánchez (CiTIUS, University of Santiago de Compostela) is joining STAP19 as core developer of the LiDAR simulation framework HELIOS. He will present recent developments in the software project as well as its versatile application possibilities, which will further be part of the Programming and Research Challenge of the workshop.
Details and the most recent program can be found on the STAP19 website. There are still a few spots available – register for participation until 15th February 2019!
