Devis Tuia (Senior Member, IEEE) received the Ph.D. degree from the University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland, in 2009. He was a Post-Doctoral Researcher with Valéncia, Boulder, CO, USA, and École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Lausanne. From 2014 to 2017, he was an Assistant Professor with the University of Zurich, Zürich, Switzerland. He then was a Professor at Wageningen University, Wageningen, The Netherlands. Since 2020, he has been an Associate Professor at EPFL-Valais, Sion, Switzerland. His research interests include machine learning and computer vision for spatial data and in particular studying new concepts for AI4EO to make images more accessible and models more understandable.

Konrad Schindler (M’05–SM’12) received the Diplomingenieur (M.Tech.) degree from Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria, in 1999, and the Ph.D. degree from Graz University of Technology, Graz, Austria, in 2003. He was a Photogrammetric Engineer in the private industry and held researcher positions at Graz University of Technology, Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia, and ETH Zurich, Zürich, Switzerland. He was an Assistant Professor of Image Understanding with TU Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany, in 2009. Since 2010, he has been a Tenured Professor of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing with ETH Zurich. His research ¨ interests include computer vision, photogrammetry, and remote sensing.

Dengxin Dai is a senior researcher at MPI for Informatics, where he heads the research group Vision for Autonomous Systems. He also works with the Computer Vision Lab at ETH Zurich on the research project TRACE-Zurich for Autonomous Driving. In 2016, he obtained his PhD at ETH Zurich under the supervision of Prof. Luc Van Gool and Prof. Gerhard Schmitt. During the PhD study, he was working on the project VarCity for City Modeling based on camera data. His research interests include autonomous driving, semantic scene understanding, bad weather/lighting conditions, sensor fusion, domain adaptation, multi-task learning, and multi-modal learning. He was/is area chair for WACV 2021, CVPR 2021, and CVPR 2022, and was lead guest editor for IJCV.
