The new term started with the course “Object-oriented image analysis”. It is a hands-on seminar covering eCognition by Dr. Michael Thiel and Dr. Christian Geiss. Christian is an invited guest lecturer from DLR’s Remote Sensing Data Center (Department: Geo-Risks and Civil Security) and he is working on mapping and characterization of urban areas with respect to risk and vulnerability assessment.
