Working Group Geodesy

The Working Group Geodesy at the Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformation, led by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Heiner Kuhlmann, specializes in the advancement of Engineering Geodesy, with a particular emphasis on terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and mobile mapping systems (MMS). Within the field of TLS, our research aims at the understanding and improvement of sensors and algorithms. In the context of MMS, we are dedicated to enhancing systems with advanced sensors considering the quality of derived point clouds by the work on topics like system calibration, trajectory evaluation and quality assessment.

This commitment extends to our work in agricultural sciences, where we apply our expertise to contribute to breeding and farming through accurate mapping and following plant parameter estimation. Our educational initiatives further reinforce these principles, offering courses that provide students with practical insights in the context of Engineering Geodesy.
