image2world is a startup founded in 2023 with the purpose of proposing and promoting its know-how for the use of oblique photography for landscape study in geographic information systems (GIS), as well as continuing the development started in 2010 at the WSL (Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research), which led to the creation of the WSL Monoplotting Tool. Since its development, this software has been used worldwide for the landscape study mainly for PhD, Master's or Bachelor's degree research works. image2world has taken over the WSL project to continue its development and offer services for both research and professional use.
The image2world team consists of specialists active in software development, landscape research, and environmental study.
Claudio Bozzini, Dipl. Math ETH, co-founder, software development, consulting and project management
Claudio Bozzini, mathematics graduate at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, has been working with the Federal Research Institute WSL since 2010 as head of the monoplotting project that led to the development of a software allowing common photographs (current or historical) to be used for the quantitative study of the landscape. He has also been involved in toponymy research since the early 2000s and has collaborated on several publications on the Ticino region.
Veronica Bozzini, Dipl. Umwelt-Ing. ETH, co-founder, consulting and project management
Veronica Bozzini holds a degree in environmental engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, specializing in hydraulic and river engineering. She works as an environmental consultant in the field of water resources management and protection, and is also dealing with the topic of water-related natural hazards.
Danilo Wyder, co-founder, software development, marketing, webmaster
Danilo Wyder, CEO, owner, and co-founder of several companies such as Sertus Group and Sertus I.T.S. Since 1995, Sertus manages the performance of activities related to information technology and data processing, design, and implementation of computer systems, programs, and software. In 2020, he received the first prize from the Bold-brain Start-Up Challenge for one of his projects. Danilo is an expert in the automation of management, administrative processes, and consulting of business organizations as one of Abacus Switzerland's reference points in Ticino.
The work of image2world is supervised by a scientific committee that ensures the reliability of the proposed products.
Perre Grussenmeyer, Prof. Dr.-Ing. INSA Strasbourg
Pierre Grussenmeyer is Professor at the Department of civil engineering and surveying at INSA Strasbourg (France) and head of the Photogrammetry and Geomatics group since 1996 (member of the ICube UMR 7357 Laboratory in Strasbourg since 2013). His main research interests are close-range photogrammetry (civil engineering & metrology), architectural photogrammetry & laser scanning in connection with BIM, mobile mapping systems, integration and accuracy of data in 3D building models.
Dr. Fabio Remondino, Bruno Kessler Foundation, Trento
Fabio Remondino is the head of the 3D Optical Metrology research unit at FBK - Bruno Kessler Foundation, a public research center located in Trento, Italy. He received a PhD in Photogrammetry from ETH Zurich in 2006 and the Italian habilitation to full professor in Geomatics in 2012. His main research interests are in the field of reality-based surveying and 3D modeling, sensor and data fusion and 3D data classification. He is working in all automation aspects of the entire 3D reconstruction pipeline for applications in the industrial, environmental and heritage field. He is author of more than 200 articles in journals and conferences. He is involved in knowledge and technology transfer, organizing more than 30 conferences, 20 summer schools and 5 tutorials. Fabio is currently serving as Vice-President of EuroSDR while he was President of ISPRS Technical Commission II and V (2012-2021) as well as vice-President of CIPA Heritage Documentation (2015-2019).
Dr. Chris Stockdale
Chris is a research scientist with the Canadian Forest Service, where he studies wildfire risk and how it changes over time and space. He worked closely with Claudio to develop novel methods used to document vegetation change from historical photographs, and has used these measures to model how fire behaviour has changed in the Canadian Rocky Mountains landscape over time. He continues to untangle this complex landscape to better understand the drivers of vegetation change, historical changes in fire regimes, and the use of historical photography to study ecological change. He is also active in developing modeling tools for studying wildfire risk. He has a BSc (Honours) in Biology from the University of Victoria, an MSc in Forestry from Oregon State University, and a PhD in Forest Ecology from the University of Alberta. Some publications and research items are available at ResearchGate.
