Received a B.Sc. degree in Surveying Engineering and a M.Sc. degree in Geodesy and Cartography Engineering from Salamanca University, Spain, in 1999 and 2001, respectively. He was a Research Assistant at INRIA, Grenoble, France, in the Institute of Computer Vision and Robotics, where he also performed his Ph.D. research on 3D reconstruction from a single view, graduating in 2005. He has authored over 300 research articles in international journals and conference proceedings. Co-inventor of 11 patents and 32 intellectual properties (software). Based on his PhD results, he has received 9 international awards from the International Societies of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS/ASPRS). In 2005, he founded the research group TIDOP (https://tidop.usal.es) (Geotechnologies for the 3D digitization and modelling of complex objects) at the University of Salamanca. He is Full Professor and Head of the Geotechnologies Master and PhD Program at the University of Salamanca, co-founder and CEO of the start-up ITOS3D (Image TO Smart 3D). In 2015 the Royal Academy of Engineering recognised his efforts and work in the field of engineering and in particular in the democratization of photogrammetry. In 2020, the ISPRS recognized his special, personal and meritorious contributions in the field of photogrammetry, being the second Spanish to get this award from its origin in 1996.

Pablo Rodríguez Gonzálvez, surveyor (2004), geodesist and cartographer (2006) and PhD in photogrammetry (2011), worked 8 years at the university of Salamanca, and joined the university of León in 2017, is currently associate professor in the department of mining technology, topography and structures, and coordinator of the DRACONES research group. He has authored over 120 research articles in international journals and conference proceedings, all related to the transversal application of different Geomatics techniques. He has been the main researcher of 8 technological contracts, the majority associated with the University-Business Knowledge Transfer related to the application of Geomatics to different disciplines. Due to his activity, he holds 10 national patents and 20 intellectual properties. His main research lines include photogrammetry 3D reconstruction, accuracy assessment, and radiometric and geometric calibration of the different geomatic sensors. Finally, he is member of the National management committee of COST Action CA16219 “Harmonization of UAS techniques for agricultural and natural ecosystems monitoring”, and co-editor-in-chief of the journal Drones.

Luis Miguel González is a postdoctoral researcher at University of Vigo (Spain). His PhD. and current research is focused on the development of UAV for infrastructure inspection tasks, specifically in the development of payloads for contact inspection tasks in large infrastructures such as bridges or dams, as well as in the development of path planning algorithms for UAV navigation in the neighbourhood of structures. Also, he is the founder of Unmanned Galicia SL, a spin-off of the University of Vigo focused on the development of specific UAV payloads and methods for different kinds of inspections. He is now collaborating with the ISISE (Institute for Sustainability and Innovation in Structural Engineering) at University of Minho (Portugal), developing new methods for infrastructure inspections using UAVs.

Dimitrios Skarlatos, is Associate Professor in the department of Civil Engineering and Geomatics in Cyprus University of Technology, currently serves as Vice Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology. His studies in rural surveying and PhD in photogrammetry, along with technical diving experience allowed him to be the lead surveyor in three archaeological shipwreck excavations of up to 45m depth, since 2010. He was the coordinator of iMARECULTURE, a H2020 research and innovation project with 11 partners and 2.7M€ budget, examining ways of raising public's awareness for maritime CH, including VR dry visits and underwater AR tablets. Prior to his post in Cyprus University of Cyprus, he has worked 12 years as freelance surveyor in Greece, and has participated in FP4, FP7 and H2020 research projects, along with several national (greek and cypriot) ones. He is the academic representative of Cyprus in EuroSDR, and co-chair of the International Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Commission II, Working Group 9, about underwater photogrammetry since 2016.
