The Institute of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (I.P.F.) conducts research and education in the fields of photogrammetry and remote sensing. It has research groups dealing with geometric modeling (Norbert Pfeifer), physical modeling (Wolfgang Wagner), and image processing (Josef Jansa).

The groups cooperate closely to fully utilize technological capabilities offered by photogrammetry and remote sensing to provide essential geo-spatial data for environmental and societal applications (flood warning, urban developments, climate change impacts etc.).

It is important for us that society can benefit from our research. Therefore, we strive to make software and data products available to the research community, the private sector and the public in general. Because many novel remote sensing techniques acquire very large data volumes (Mega to Terabytes) our software is in general designed to allow automatic and efficient processing. Also, we have a large computer network with a 50 Terabyte file server and several dedicated data processing PCs.
