About The Author

Martin Wegmann

Martin Wegmann works on remote sensing for biodiversity and conservation applications at the Department of Remote Sensing, University of Würzburg. He also teaches remote sensing within the applied Earth Observation EAGLE M.Sc. program and the AniMove.org science school. He has more than 15 years of experience in working with spatial data for ecological applications using Open Source software.

Jakob Schwalb-Willmann is a scientist at the University of Würzburg with an academic background in Earth observation and spatial data science. His research focuses on the machine-learning-driven analysis and exploitation of integrated movement tracking and remote sensing data for geoanalytical applications. He has extensive experience in using and developing Open Source software tools for advanced image and spatial data anaylsis.

Stefan Dech is director of the German Remote Sensing Data Center (DFD) since 1998, and current spokesman of the Earth Observation Center (EOC) at the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Since 2001 he has held the Chair for Remote Sensing at the Institute of Geography and Geology of the University of Würzburg.
