Gottfried Konecny: the influence in the global development of the three geosciences
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PREFACEThe paper contains a brief overview of the professional activities of Professor Gottfried Konecny, Professor Emeritus at the Institute of Photogrammetry and GeoInformation, Leibniz University Hannover, Germany, and his influence on photogrammetry, remote sensing and geospatial information science during his time at the University of New Brunswick, Canada, and at the Leibniz University. His work can be divided into educational, scientific, application, organizational, and work in international societies. Additional activities comprised of giving courses in various languages, consultancy activities, and various other cooperations which took place in many South American countries, in Africa and Asia, for organizations such as the World Bank, United Nations, German Space Agency DLR, to name only a few. Activities in connection with international societies mainly took place during Prof. Konecny’s engagement in the Council of the International Society for Photogrammetry (ISP), renamed the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS), and the European Association of Remote Sensing Laboratories (EARSeL) Bureau. He was a key figure in bringing many countries and organizations to ISPRS as Ordinary and Sustaining Members. Professor Konecny has always been aware of the importance of international cooperation at various levels, also with sister societies such as the International Cartographic Association and the United Nations – Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM). His application activities span from the photogrammetry-oriented projects he was awarded in Canada, to remote sensing topics and geospatial sciences, combined with cartography during his Hannover period. His vision and endless effort are exemplary for a person who has always been devoted to the three geosciences mentioned above. Professor Konecny is the author of a number of books, journal papers and papers presented at international and national conferences. He has been a recognized keynote speaker at many conferences throughout the world due to his vast experience. This paper describes 75 years of a man who is an expert in fields which arose during his academic life.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
