Geoscience, Beijing, in 2006, her M. Eng. degree in cartography and geoinformation at the Chinese Academy of Surveying and Mapping, Beijing, in 2009, and her Ph.D. degree in
mathematics and computer science from Osnabrück University, Germany, in 2013. Since 2009, she has been with the
Photogrammetry and Image Analysis Department, Remote
Sensing Technology Institute, German Aerospace Center,
Wessling, Germany, where she is currently head of the 3D
Modeling Team. In 2011, she was a guest scientist with the Institute of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, ETH Zürich,
Switzerland. Her research interests include 3D change detection, digital surface model (DSM) generation, 3D point cloud
semantic segmentation, object extraction, and DSM-assisted
building reconstruction and classification. She is a Member
of the IEEE.
Xiao Xiang Zhu (xiaoxiang.zhu@dlr.de) received her M.Sc.
degree, Dr.-Ing. degree, and habilitation in the field of signal
processing from the Technical University of Munich (TUM),
Germany, in 2008, 2011, and 2013, respectively. She is a professor of signal processing in Earth observation (EO) at TUM
and head of the Department of EO Data Science with the
Remote Sensing Technology Institute, German Aerospace
Center. Since 2019, she has co-coordinated the Munich Data
Science Research School. She also leads the Helmholtz Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Unit in the research field of
aeronautics, space, and transport. Her main research interests are remote sensing and EO, signal processing, machine
learning, and data science, with a special application focus
on global urban mapping. She is an associate editor of IEEE
Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing. She is a Senior
Member of the IEEE.
