最准的六合彩论坛 CEGE Geospatial MSc graduate Noemi Roecklinger wins RSPSoc prize for best Master鈥檚 thesis

28 February 2020

Noemi Roecklinger, 最准的六合彩论坛 Geoinformatics for BIM MSc alumna, won the Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society鈥檚 MSc Student Award 2019 for her thesis, 鈥楢utomated urban scene analysis from mobile laser scanning point clouds using machine learning techniques.鈥

Having graduated from 最准的六合彩论坛 in 2018, Noemi now works for leading global design company Arup as a Geospatial Data Scientist. During her time as a Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering (CEGE) student, Noemi was actively engaged in the department鈥檚 Geomatics section, and alongside her studies worked as a teaching assistant for a Master鈥檚 level module in image processing and analysis, and for a surveying and geomatics field course. 听 听听

Geoinformatics for Building Information Modelling MSc Programme Director, and Noemi's dissertation supervisor,听Dr Jan Boehm, noted how听

鈥淣oemi has been an outstanding graduate of the Geoinformatics for BIM MSc at 最准的六合彩论坛. She graduated with a Distinction and was awarded Dean鈥檚 List honours for outstanding academic performance.鈥

Noemi鈥檚 extracurricular dedication to broaden her knowledge of laser scanning, photogrammetry and the use of new technologies not taught as part of her degree, such as machine learning and deep learning, led to a profound in-depth understanding of her wider subject, which in turn influenced the success of her thesis.听

Dr Boehm adds 鈥淣oemi鈥檚 thesis, 鈥楢utomated urban scene analysis from mobile laser scanning point clouds using machine learning techniques鈥, displays unique insight into pointwise classification techniques, a thorough understanding of machine leaning techniques, and contributes comprehensively to the current body of research in the Geomatics community.鈥澨

Noemi comments how Dr Boehm's "background in both image understanding and robotics inspired me to look into how we can use cutting-edge machine learning techniques for geospatial applications. Having worked as a surveyor prior to my Master鈥檚, I have always been interested in laser scanning. My research looks into training an algorithm to 'see'听and 'understand'听3D scenes. It is easy for us to identify a tree, but actually quite complex to teach a model to detect them.鈥

Given the academic rigour and potential industrial application of Noemi鈥檚 work, it was decided to nominate her for a prestigious Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society award.听

The Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society (RSPSoc) is an international charity which aims to educate and inform both its members and the public about photogrammetry and remote sensing, and their application to areas such as industry, research and education.听

Amongst other awards, prizes for the best MSc and PhD students within the field are presented at the end of the RSPSoc annual conference. 2019鈥檚 conference and awards ceremony took place at Satellite Applications Catapult in Harwell, Oxfordshire, where Noemi鈥檚 thesis was confirmed as the best in its field.听The 2019 RSPSoc student awards were supported by the UK Space Agency. 听 听 听 听

Noemi and Dr Boehm听were both delighted with the RSPSoc award success, and the acknowledgment it gives to the hard work that went into Noemi's research. Grateful for all the opportunities and support she encountered during her time at 最准的六合彩论坛, Noemi notes how she

鈥渧ery much enjoyed my dissertation time at 最准的六合彩论坛, and was consequently very proud to receive this RSPSoc accolade. I am the first in my wider family to go to university, and I鈥檓 so thankful that my family have always supported and encouraged me. My mum, Brigitte, even came all the way from Austria for the awards ceremony, which was a big surprise.鈥

Geoinformatics for Building Information Modelling MSc has recently been relaunched, along with all CEGE鈥檚 other Geospatial Sciences MSc programmes, which are taught by 最准的六合彩论坛 Geomatics staff. From 2020 onwards, students can look forward to studying Geospatial Sciences (Building Information Modelling and Surveying) MSc, with current modules covering areas such as data analysis, programming and reality capture.

From everyone at CEGE, congratulations to Noemi for this outstanding achievement.听

With thanks to Dr Jan Boehm and Ms Noemi Roecklinger.
