Dr. Franz Rottensteiner received the Dipl.-Ing. degree in surveying and the Ph.D. degree and venia docendi in Photogrammetry, all from Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria (TUW). Currently, he is an Associate Professor and leader of the research group “Photogrammetric Image Analysis” at the Institute of Photogrammetry and GeoInformation at the University of Hannover, Germany (LUH). His research interests include all aspects of image orientation, image classification, automated object detection and reconstruction from images and point clouds, and change detection from remote sensing data. Before joining LUH in 2008, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at TUW and the Universities of New South Wales and Melbourne, both in Australia. He has authored or co-authored more than 100 scientific papers, 31 of which have appeared in peer-reviewed international journals. He received the Karl Rinner Award of the Austrian Geodetic Commission in 2004 and the Carl Pulfrich Award for Photogrammetry, sponsored by Leica Geosystems, in 2017. Since 2011, he has been the Associate Editor of the ISI-listed journal “Photogrammetrie Fernerkundung Geoinformation” of the German Society of Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Geoinformation. Being the Chairman of the working group II/4 of the International Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS), he has initiated and conducted the ISPRS benchmark on urban object detection and 3D building reconstruction.
