Hi! My name is Philipp Glira and I’m a scientist at the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT).

More specifically I’m part of the group for Assistive & Autonomous Systems within the Center for Vision, Automation & Control.

Besides this site, my scientific activities can be followed here:

My research fields are mainly:

  • alt text Robotics
  • alt text Lidar
  • alt text Photogrammetry
  • alt text Machine Learning / AI
  • alt text Computer Vision

whereby I use these sensor types the most:

  • alt text Lidar
  • alt text Camera
  • alt text Imaging radar
  • alt text GNSS/IMU

These days I mostly code in:

  • alt text C++
  • alt text Python
  • alt text Matlab/Octave
  • alt text Bash

Technologies and tools that I use are:

See my for an overview about the main programs that I use.

And finally my research interests are:

  • Least squares adjustments
  • Lidar strip adjustment (LSA)
  • Bundle block adjustment (BBA)
  • Integration of LSA and BBA
  • Factor-Graphs and Kalman filtering
  • Multi-sensor SLAM
  • Sensor calibration
  • Point cloud registration, e.g. ICP
  • 3D mapping of the environment
  • Temporal change detection
  • AI-based scene understanding
