Prof. Dr.-Ing. Uwe Stilla

Professorship

Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing
Deceased May 2023.

Academic Career and Research Areas

The research interests of Prof. Stilla (b. 1957) revolve around automatic data analysis in photogrammetry and remote sensing.

Prof. Stilla studied at the University of Paderborn, where he qualified as a communication engineer in 1980. In 1987, he obtained a diploma in biomedical engineering at the University of Karlsruhe. After that, he remained in Karlsruhe for a few years as a research fellow. From 1989 to 2003, he lectured in biocybernetics as part of the medical informatics course at the University of Heidelberg and Heilbronn University. In 1990, he became a research fellow at the Research Institute for Optronics and Pattern Recognition (FGAN-FOM). He obtained his doctorate in 1993 at the University of Karlsruhe with a thesis on automatic image processing and pattern recognition. He has been Chair of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing at TUM since 2004. Since 2005, he has served as Dean of Studies for geodesy programs. From 2008 to 2013 he has been Vice Dean of the TUM Department of Civil, Geo and Environmental Engineering.
