Researcher Profile

Field: 3D Vision and Modelling

Main Research: Photogrammetry, Laserscanning, Computer Vision, Robotics

Experience:

Philipp Glira studied Geodesy and Geoinformation at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), where he also obtained his PhD (with honours) in 2018. He wrote his PhD thesis at the Photogrammetry Research Group within the Department of Geodesy and Geoinformation of the TU Wien under the supervision of Prof. Norbert Pfeifer.

His main research interests are:
- parameter estimation by least squares adjustments
- sensor calibration, e.g. of cameras, laser scanners, or GNSS/IMU-systems
- point cloud orientation: optimization of relative orientation (registration) and absolute orientation (georeference)
