Rate My Professor George Vosselman

Vosselman's research specializations include photogrammetry, laser scanning, and the extraction of spatial and semantic information from images and point clouds, frequently using deep learning techniques for applications such as 3D building and road modelling, quality analysis of laser altimetry data, and segmentation and classification of point clouds. He has authored or co-authored over 220 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers, including highly cited works such as 'Airborne and Terrestrial Laser Scanning' (2010, co-edited with H.G. Maas), 'Experimental comparison of filter algorithms for bare-Earth extraction from airborne laser scanning point clouds' (2004, with G. Sithole), 'Segmentation of point clouds using smoothness constraint' (2006, with T. Rabbani and F. van den Heuvel), and 'Slope based filtering of laser altimetry data' (2000). His influence extends to software development for point cloud processing transferred to companies, creation of datasets like UAVid and UAVPal, and leadership in ISPRS Working Groups on point cloud processing. Vosselman has received the Hansa Luftbild Award (1993), ISPRS Otto von Gruber Award (2000), Schwidefsky Medal (2012), Karl Kraus Medal (2012, shared with Hans-Gerd Maas), ASPRS Photogrammetric Fairchild Award (2015), and was elected ISPRS Fellow in 2020. He served as Editor-in-Chief of the ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (2005-2012) and ISPRS Open Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (2021-2025).
