Thomas Loecherbach, Ph.D.

Dr. Thomas Loecherbach’s education is in land surveying and geodesy with emphasis in photogrammetry and adjustment theory. He has been continuously involved in photogrammetry since 1985. Throughout his career he has been instrumental in implementing ABGPS, INS technology, LiDAR, digital camera systems and other remote sensing applications into the photogrammetric workflow. As Geomatics Director, he is responsible for aerotriangulation, which is at the heart of each project’s geometric accuracy. In this role he has also introduced automatic terrain extraction by image matching and developed custom C-programs in support of orthorectification, image mosaicking, seamline feathering, etc. He also lends his professional guidance to the area of data fusion; merging datasets from varying data types, formats, sources and accuracies, which are inherent in our industry.  Dr. Loecherbach holds a Ph.D. in Photogrammetry (Geodesy & Surveying) from the University of Bonn, Germany
