To kick off this year's three-country conference of the German DGPF, Swiss SGPF and Austrian OVG in Muttenz, the third forum of the young talent network took place on 3 June 2025. With over 60 participants, the success of the previous years in Munich and Remagen could be continued.
The evening before, on 2 June 2025, there was a relaxed atmosphere at the Markthalle in Basel, where participants were able to meet and get to know each other. The ice was quickly broken and the evening lasted a long time with a wide variety of food, drinks and financial wishes.
The forum opened with a keynote speech by Dr Hannes Eugster (iNovitas) and Sandra Beckmann (bsf swissphoto). Both inspired the young audience with the daily opportunities and challenges as a geodesist in the fields of mobile mapping and airborne photogrammetry. The presentations were concluded with exciting questions and discussions.
Afterwards, a poster session offered young researchers a platform to present their scientific work. This offer was very well received and provided a basis for further dialogue. There was not only technical discussion, but also new ideas for offline and online events were collected and Swiss and Austrian researchers were inspired to join the young researchers network.
Following the poster session, the best poster was voted for by all attendees and rewarded with a one-year DGPF membership. The award went to Yannick Treitz (TU Darmstadt) for his poster on ‘Individual Tree Crown Segmentation with Hyperspectral Data, Dimensionality Reduction and Segment Aniything Model’.
Many thanks to all participants for this wonderful afternoon!
