Professor Gottfried Konecny, one of the most respected names in photogrammetry, shares some reflections on his work and profession. He worked in post-war Neumarkt as a teenage draughtsman, was chief...

What is the best way to generate a high-precision 3D model to estimate the storage capacity of a lake that is surrounded by mountains? Rapid weather changes, low clouds and...

Forestry operations currently rely heavily on forest inventories that employ field plot data as a basis for estimating forest attributes. This labour-intensive approach provides limited information and has become a...

Few museums, shopping centres, airports and other indoor spaces have been mapped, although the demand for detailed 3D models of such spaces is accelerating rapidly. Here, the authors present a...

Accurate representation and 3D reconstruction of the environment using both active and passive remote sensing systems has become essential for non-traditional mapping applications. Due to the excessive cost as well...

Today, the main use of 3D building models is for visualization purposes. However, such models also have huge potential for supporting the ‘smart city’ concept. Disaster management, 3D cadastres, energy...

State-of-the-art geodetic and remote sensing techniques can prove their potential through particular engineering applications. Here we discuss load test measurements of bridges over the Danube. Prior to the particular bridge...

Estimating rainfall discharge is difficult in large catchment areas with varying topography. This leads to widespread inadequacy in culvert design, with resultant damage to these and other drainage infrastructure during...

Airborne laser scanning (ALS) offers a range of opportunities for mapping and change detection. However, due to the large costs typically associated with traditional ALS, multi-temporal laser surveys are still...

Organisations that contract road-building projects typically compensate construction companies based in part on the excavation and transportation of the soil and the cost of the material. But traditional methods used...
