Notes

This list may not be complete or up-to-date. Therefore, it may be worthwhile to contact the staff of the Photogrammetry Chair directly for further current topic suggestions. (Almost) all topics can be designed in such a way that they are suitable for a bachelor or master thesis..

Further topics from the fields of close range photogrammetry, terrestrial laser scanning, aircraft laser scanning, aerial photogrammetry and image analysis can be given out at any time after consultation. Own topics (e.g. in combination with an internship at a company) can also be proposed and discussed with the staff members. The page finished theses can therefore be used. For the selection of the topic, the processing, submission and evaluation of the thesis, please refer to our guidelines for theses.
