Rudolf Richter received the M.Sc. (Diplom) in physics from the Technical University of Munich, Germany, in 1973 and the Ph.D. (Dr. Ing.) degree in engineering from the Technical University of Dresden in 1991. He is a DLR Senior Scientist actively involved in optical remote sensing research and development. His areas of interest include atmospheric modeling, atmospheric and topographic correction, and simulation of airborne/spaceborne multispectral and hyperspectral instruments. He holds four patents related to optical remote sensing. He developed the ATCOR model, one of the standard codes for atmospheric and topographic correction of multi-/hyperspectral imagery used at universities, research laboratories, and industry. He is currently a Reviewer for seven scientific journals on remote sensing and has authored or coauthored more than 50 research publications in refereed journals on processing of multispectral and hyperspectral imagery. Since his retirement he works as consultant for DLR and ReSe Applications.
