Manfred Ferdinand Buchroithner (born December 17, 1950 in Wels , Upper Austria ) is an Austrian cartographer , geologist , mountain researcher and mountaineer . He made pioneering contributions to the development of autostereoscopic cartographic visualizations .

Life

After graduating from the Ramsauergymnasium in Linz in 1969 , Manfred Buchroithner did his military service before beginning his studies in geology and palaeontology , mineralogy and petrography and philosophy at the University of Graz in 1970 . In 1976 and 1977 he completed his training as a state-certified Austrian mountain and ski guide . In 1977 he received his doctorate from the University of Graz and then worked here as a research assistant . In 1979 and 1980 he did a postdoctoral study of remote sensing and cartography at the International Institute for Aerial Survey and Earth Sciences ( ITC ) at the University of Twente in Enschede , Netherlands , from which he graduated with a diploma (with distinction ). His participation in a research expedition into the Afghan Wachan corridor, which took place in 1975, was formative for Buchroithner's further career .

From 1980 Manfred Buchroithner worked under Erik Arnberger at the Institute for Cartography of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna . In the summer semester of 1982 he was a Fulbright scholar in Fort Worth ( Texas ), Denver and Boulder ( Colorado ) and at Stanford University ( California ). In 1984 he completed his habilitation as a university lecturer for general geology and remote sensing at the University of Graz. He then worked briefly as an employee and from 1985 to 1992 as head of the Institute for Digital Image Processing and Computer Graphics of the Johanneum Research Association, now Joanneum Research , in Graz and also took teaching positions at the University of Graz, Graz University of Technology, the Montan University Leoben and the university Stockholm true. From 1992 Manfred Buchroithner was full professor for cartography at the Institute for Cartography at the Technical University of Dresden . From 1994 to 1997 and from 2003 until his retirement in 2016 he was director of this institute. He was visiting professor at the following universities: LMU Munich 1989, University of Salzburg 2000/01 and 2002/03, Center for Energy and Processes (CEP) of the École National Supérieur des Mines de Paris (ENSMP) in Sophia Antipolis near Nice 2002, Institute for Information Technology (IIT) of COMSATS in Islamabad ( Pakistan ) 2015, University of Bergamo ( Italy ) 2015/16, as well as several times at IIT Kanpur .

In his scientific work, Manfred Buchroithner deals with the main topics of real three-dimensional visualization of spatial information, high mountain cartography with special attention to three-dimensional, multitemporal glacier mapping with the help of cosmic remote sensing data, which is evaluated using AI , as well as remote sensing cartography using general dynamic cartography , with geographic information systems for environmental monitoring , with multimedia in cartography and the epistemology of cartography. In 2006, in a civil context for the first time in Europe, he initiated the real-time transmission of real three-dimensional geodata for stereoscopic viewing. The connection of a 3D model visualization of the south face of the Dachstein with the GPS location data of the mobile phones of climbers in need of help to support mountain rescue missions in case of visibility received media attention. Buchroithner initiated and led several scientific expeditions to various high mountains around the world. In 1997/98 he created the first holographic relief map of the world (with animated writing; presented in 1999 at the International Cartographic Conference (ICC) in Ottawa ). His research in the late 1990s in the field of real 3D cartography using lens-like foils resulted in two patents.

In 1992 Manfred Buchroithner became Scientific Advisor of the Tibetan Mount Everest National Park “Qomolungma Nature Preserve (QNP)”. From 1993 to 1997 he was Vice President of the European Association of Remote Sensing Laboratories (EARSeL), where he also headed a SIG on landslides and mudslides, and from 1999 to 2001 Secretary General of EURO-STRIM (Association for the Establishment of a European Master and Doctorate in Space Technologies for Risk Management). 2002–2017 he was Vice President for International Affairs of the German Society for Cartography and 2003–2017 German delegate at the International Cartographic Association (ICA). In 2011, as chairman of the Geodesy and Geoinformatics Association (FVGG), he initiated the science award of the German Geodetic Commission for the promotion of highly qualified scientists (DGK Award). Buchroithner was co-initiator of the establishment of three commissions of the ICA, namely the commissions for high mountain cartography (1995), for planetary cartography (1995) and for cartography for disaster warning and crisis management (2003).

Manfred Buchroithner is married and has a son and a daughter.

Mountaineering achievements

In addition to initiating and carrying out numerous scientific high mountain expeditions in Asia and the Andes, Buchroithner was also successful as a mountaineer. He is the first solo climber of Koh-e Asp-e Safed (6101 m, Afghan Pamir , 1975) and among the first to climb Tenzin Gyatso Peak (5984 m, Tibetan Himalaya, south of Karo La , later in Chinese maps than Jitan Zhoma with 6004 m shown, 1992, together with Hans-Dieter Sauer and Bernhard Jüptner). Buchroithner took part in the second ascent of Koh-e Bardar (6078 m, Afghan Pamir, over the demanding north ridge, with Gernot Patzelt , Heinz Badura and Martin Posch in 1975, three days after the first ascent over the easier south ridge by a Polish expedition). In 1978 he and Rudi Brandstetter opened a new direct route through the east face of the Nevado Rasac (6017 m, Cordillera Huayhuash , Peruvian Andes). In 2005, together with Martin Frey and Reinhold Lazar, he succeeded in the first ascent of a new route to the Llullaillaco ( 6739  m ) from the southwest side.

He climbed, mostly solo , several six-thousanders and numerous five-thousanders in the Andes and in the Asian high mountains. He also opened several sport climbing routes in the mountains southwest of Vienna and in the Grazer Bergland . In addition, there are numerous solo climbs in the entire Alps, Scandinavia , the Rocky Mountains , the Andes, the Hindu Kush-Karakoram-Himalaya chain , on Borneo and in New Zealand .

Because of his expertise both in mountaineering and in cartography, Buchroithner contributed to numerous Alpine Club maps , in some cases with responsibility for content and / or production; for example:
