Claus Brenner received his diploma in computer science in 1994 and his PhD (Dr.-Ing.) from the faculty of civil engineering and surveying in 2000, both from the University of Stuttgart, Germany. From 1994 to 2000, he was with the Institute for Photogrammetry, University of Stuttgart, from 1996 on as head of the optical inspection group. From 2000 to 2002, he was employed at Robert Bosch Corporate Research and Development, where he worked on next generation car navigation systems. Since 2002 he is with the Institute of Cartography and Geoinformatics, where he leads a junior research group on "Automatic methods for the fusion, reduction and consistent combination of complex heterogeneous geoinformation". His current research interests lie in automated object extraction from images and laser scanning data, as well as modelling and generalisation
