معرفی
Prof. Dr. Mehmet Devrim Akça is a full-time faculty member at the Department of Computer Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Isik University, Istanbul, Turkey. He earned his PhD in Photogrammetry from ETH Zurich (2007), MSc in Surveying Engineering from Karadeniz Technical University (2000), and BSc in Surveying Engineering (1997).
- PhD: ETH Zurich, Institute of Geodesy and Photogrammetry (2003-2007)
- MSc: Karadeniz Technical University (1997-2000)
- BSc: Karadeniz Technical University (1993-1997)
His research focuses on photogrammetry, 3D surface matching, laser scanning, and cultural heritage documentation. He has pioneered methods for point cloud filtering, stochastic surface mesh reconstruction, and volumetric change detection in forests and geological formations. His recent work includes real-time UAV-based structural inspection and TLS error modeling.
Key trends in his publications include:
- Advancements in 3D forest monitoring using satellite data
- Development of novel error models for point cloud processing
- Applications of structured light systems in geomorphological experiments
- Integration of photogrammetry for landslide and bridge deformation analysis
Scientific awards:
- ISPRS Best Paper by Young Authors (2004)
- ETH Zurich Silver Medal for Doctoral Thesis (2008)
- Carl Pulfrich Award (2009)
- Publons Top 1% Reviewer in Geosciences (2018) and Earth Sciences (2017)
He has advised Dr. Mustafa Özendi (2018) on stochastic surface mesh reconstruction and contributed to projects like FORSAT 3D forest monitoring. His editorial roles include MDPI Remote Sensing and Elsevier's ISPRS Journal.
