The German DGPF Conference in Remagen 2024 – motto „Stadt, Land, Fluss – Daten vernetzen“

2024/03/18

Professor Iwaszczuk travelled to Remagen together with seven employees and doctoral students from the Institute of Geodesy and six students. The TU Darmstadt team was well represented with seven posters and short presentations, two conference presentations, two posters at the Young Talent Network and a nomination for the Karl Kraus Young Talent Award.

The conference of the German Society for Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Geoinformation (DGPF) took place in Remagen from 12 to 14 March 2024. This year, however, the intensive networking began two days before the conference when a rail strike was announced at short notice. The organisers reacted quickly and organised a carpooling service and the already familiar atmosphere at the DGPF was strengthened even more by the joint challenge.

With 15 participants from TU Darmstadt, Professor Dorota Iwaszczuk's group was probably the best represented. The corporate design with the Athena head dominated one or two sessions as well as the poster exhibition.

After the first event of the Young Scientists Network was very well received last year, the Young Scientists Network opened the DGPF again this year, this time with a poster presentation by the students. TU Darmstadt was represented here with two poster contributions by geodesy students Lukas Kreuzer and Leonard Trill on Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) and the monitoring of plant health using multispectral data. The student group of Ricarda Bay, Bastian Habbel and Max Rödel presented their poster “Detection of algal blooms in flowing waters using vegetation indices based on a case study of the Oder disaster 2022” on the second day and Master's student Timo Kullmann presented the interim status of his thesis on multi-camera NeRFs on the last day of the conference.

Postdoc Patrick Hübner and the employees and doctoral students Mona Goebel, Rewanth Ravindran, Maren Riemer, Janik Steier, Qipeng Mei and Katrin Krzepek were also present with talks and posters on their current projects and research.

Rebecca Wiegels was under the top 10 for the Karl Kraus Young Talent Award 2024 with her master's thesis “Improved Rainfall Measurements from Microwave Link Attenuation Data via MSG SEVIRI Cloud Information”.
