The Institut für Erdmessung (IfE) at Leibniz Universität Hannover (Germany)/DFG funded Research Unit (FOR5455) invites applications for the position of a Research Assistant (Doctoral Candidate, m/f/d) on

Distribution-free Uncertainty Description for Terrestrial Laser Scanner-based Areal Deformation Analysis (Salary Scale 13 TV-L, 100 %)

The position starts October 1st 2023 and is limited to 4 years.

In the DFG funded Research Unit (FOR5455) “Deformation Analysis Based on Terrestrial Laser Scanner Measurements” (TLS-Defo, www.tlsdefo.de) relevant topics in TLS based deformation analysis will be investigated in a consortium of five universities (Uni Bonn, TU Munich, Leibniz University Hannover, KIT Karlsruhe, and TU Vienna).
Project 5 "Distribution-free Uncertainty” will use intervals and sets to derive observation intervals for terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) measurements based on data analysis of terrestrial laser scans. Next, a concept has to be developed to propagate them to TLS point clouds. Subsequently, uncertainty regions of each TLS point can be derived as well as concepts for deformation analysis by
intersection of these regions over subsequent epochs.
