Marinos Vlachos is a Ph.D. Candidate and a researcher at the Photogrammetric Vision Lab. He holds an M.Sc. in geomatics engineering and photogrammetry, University of Stuttgart. He also holds a bachelor’s degree in surveying engineering and geomatics, Cyprus University of Technology. During his studies, he earned a distinction for his diploma thesis entitled “Dense Image Matching for High Precision Digital Surface Model Accuracy through UAV flight patterns” and published a paper entitled “Investigating Influence of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Flight Patterns in Multi-Stereo View DSM Accuracy”, which was presented at the SPIE Optical Metrology 2015 conference in Munich, Germany. Currently, he is working on his master's thesis as he completes his studies at University of Stuttgart. Furthermore, his research often deals with the creation of accurate 3D models through Structure from Motion both from aerial and underwater imagery, as well as the integration of various cameras (RGB and MS) with UAV platforms, since his master's thesis is dedicated to this topic. During his Ph.D. Marinos has been engaged with the topic of colour correction of underwater images and the impact it has on 3D reconstruction and visualization.
