FIG Congress 2022 Keynote: Technology and
Visualisation for the Future
Rudolf STAIGER, Robert OLSZEWSKI
Instead of a paper we would like to share with you a series of video
recordings from the keynote sessions of FIG Congress 2022 in the coming
months.
In this recording that is offered to you in this "Video of the Month
Series" Rudolf Staiger and Robert Olszewski focus on the future
technologies of geospatial data visualization and its role for
surveyors and the role of GNSS measurements in future. Rudolf
Staiger is now at the end of his term as FIG President, a position
he fulfilled from 2018-2022.
Rudolf Staiger talks about the Surveyor 4.0,
Robert Olszewski talks about
trends in the development of spatial data visualization
methods.
This session focuses on the future technologies of geospatial data
visualization and its role for surveyors and the role of GNSS
measurements in future. This session was the last keynote session of FIG
Congress 2022 and will give you food for thought for the future.

About the keynote speakers
Prof. Rudolf Staiger, FIG President 2018-2022
Prof. Rudolf Staiger was the President of FIG from 2018-2022. His early studies
in geodesy were in Karlsruhe and Paris from 1976 to 1982, and he was
scientific assistant at the University of Karlsruhe (Geodetic
Institute) from 1983 to 1987. Rudolfs PhD thesis (1988) dealt with
the online determination of 3D co-ordinates with electronic
theodolites. This was followed by six years with KERN and LEICA in
Aarau (Switzerland) in marketing and R&D. In 1994 he joined the
University of Essen (Department of Surveying) and changed to the
University of Applied Sciences in Bochum in 2005. Rudolf retired
from university last year. He is the next President for his home
association DVW – German Association for Geodesy, Geoinformation and
Land Management.
Rudolf thematic specialties are in close-range triangulation,
laser tracking and laser scanning, quality assurance and calibration
of geodetic devices.
Prof. Robert Olszewski Warsaw University of
Technology, Poland
Robert Olszewski deals with the modeling of spatial information, or
more precisely, extraction and acquisition of spatial information
using artificial intelligence methods, as well as the subject of
smart city, cartographic generalization, geostatistics, gamification
and social geoparticipation. The results of many years of his
scientific work have been published in several monographs and more
than one hundred articles. He has also implemented dozens of
research grants. Since 2011 a Professor at the Department of Geodesy
and Cartography Warsaw University of Technology, since 2015 Head of
the Chair of Cartography. A graduate of the TOP 500 Innovators
program, a participant of training in commercialization of research
at the Haas School of Business at the University of California at
Berkeley. Member of the Rector's team of innovative forms of
education - INFOX, conducts interdisciplinary project classes for
students of Warsaw University of Technology using Design Thinking
methodology. He works with business and government and
self-government in the implementation of R&D projects and
commercialization of interdisciplinary research in the field of
geoinformation, computational intelligence, spatial data services,
social geoparticipation, gamification, smart city, and spatial data
mining.
