ISPRS Laser Scanning 2011 Workshop
28th August, 2011 – 31st August, 2011
The applications of point cloud data captured from laser scanning instruments are increasing in number and diversity every year. Airborne laser scanning is an important technology for the production of digital elevation models and 3D city models and in forestry and hydrology. Static terrestrial laser scanning has been adopted for many engineering purposes such as as-built documentation deformation monitoring, the recording of cultural heritage sites and the measurement of the human body. In addition, the past few years have seen a considerable increase in the number of vehicle-borne mobile laser scanning systems available on the market in response to the ready uptake of this technology for rapid corridor mapping.
Laser Scanning 2011 is the 7th in a series of ISPRS workshops on laser scanning that began in 1999. It will bring together scientists, system developers and practitioners from different disciplines who are focused on the modelling and application of point cloud data acquired from laser scanners and other active imaging systems such as range cameras.

IEEE GRSS and ISPRS Joint Urban Remote Sensing Event
10th April, 2011 – 13th April, 2011
JURSE 2011 intends to be a unique forum for urban remote sensing with respect to the Information Technology and Geoscience community. A continuously increasing amount of multiple sensory data offers opportunities to address new questions and solve existing problems more effectively in urban remote sensing. To exploit the full potential these diverse data sources offer, several questions needs to be investigated, for example how to select the best data sets for different applications and how to implement and exploit the algorithms and procedures developed for single sensor data processing. Another important question is how to combine the information derived from these different sensors, for example on which level should the individually processed data been fused.
The objectives of JURSE 2011 are:
- gathering people coming from industry, academia, local and national/international agencies together to discuss topics related to remote sensing for urban monitoring – fostering the research and the applications of available data sets over urban areas, with a special consideration for high resolution satellite data and data fusion – providing new ideas for developing sensors and/or systems able to analyze and monitor urban areas – improving the knowledge and the know-how by means of the interaction of researchers coming from different communities (town and regional planning, engineering, photogrammetry, geology, hydrology, etc.)
Conference topics:
—————————
Urban remote sensing includes a wide array of research topics and disciplines, and is emerging as a truly interdisciplinary field. The joint conferences will feature many special sessions with oral and poster components.
- New data & sensors for urban area remote sensing – Structure detection and characterization in urban areas – Algorithms and techniques for remotely sensed data interpretation – Algorithms and techniques for urban area applications
- Urban Climatology, Geology, and Geohazards – RS Applications to Social Science – RS Applications to Urban Planning and Conservation – Urban Development and Growth Pattern – Urban/Periurban Ecology
Paper Submission:
————————-
Prospective authors are invited to submit a FULL PAPER of maximum 4 pages via the web interface. These papers will undergo a review process by the program committee. Accepted papers will be published on CD-ROM and in IEEE Xplore.

RSPSoc2010 From The Sea-bed to the Cloud-tops
1st September, 2010 – 3rd September, 2010
In 2010 the first joint UK Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society and Irish Earth Observation Symposium conference will be held in Cork, Ireland. It will be hosted by University College Cork and the National Maritime College of Ireland from 31st August to 3rd September 2010.
The theme of the conference is Visualising the World: From the Sea-bed to the Cloud-tops
The first call for papers will be issued on January 4th 2010
In recent years the volume and diversity of imagery acquired by satellite, airborne, ground and ship-based sensors has grown enormously, and the number of application domains in which the images are used has similarly multiplied. At the same time, digital mapping tools such as Google Earth, and the media use of images, after natural disasters for example, have brought remotely sensed imagery into the public domain as never before. But how can we best communicate the results derived from imagery, or from integrating images with other spatial data? How can we use these data to depict the world of today, as well as predict how it might change in the future? How can the world invisible to our eyes be made visible?
These and many other questions will be explored through the following themes:
Marine and coastal management
Ocean governance and security
Underground and underwater
Climate adaptation and mitigation
Polar and high altitude regions
Forests, food and vegetation
Atmosphere and weather
Vertical profiling
Close range sensors
New sensors and processing technologies
Four keynote speakers will present their expert views on the themes of –
End users of imagery from a UK and Irish perspective (Ian Greenway)
Remote Sensing for the marine environment (Peter Heffernan)
Remote Sensing for the terrestrial environment and GMES (Alan Belward)
Photogrammetric measurements of environmental change (Hans-Gerd Maas)

Current legal issues for satellite earth observation
7th April, 2010 – 9th April, 2010
Satellite Earth observation is becoming more and more an efficient tool for
monitoring all kinds of resources of Earth. Remotely sensed data are now a reliable
basis for decision-making in many areas of society. We experience increasing
resolutions both spatially and spectrally. Constellations of small satellites are capable
to provide good daily coverage of the Earth’s surface and allow to increase the
temporal resolution. The progress resulting from satellite Earth observation allows to
expand the application fields but also brings to light new problems to be discussed in a
broader public debate.
This Conference deals with two important and topical aspects of satellite Earth
observation: – treaty monitoring and law enforcement through satellite Earth observation, – privacy conflicts from high resolution imagery.
It brings together experts from the remote sensing and in the legal fields. It aims
at decision-makers in the field of treaty monitoring and international law
enforcement (foreign and environment ministries, international organizations). This
provides the unique opportunity to discuss the different implications stemming from
the technology developments and applications as well as from legal and regulatory perspectives.
The focus of the discussions at this Conference is to optimise the regulatory
framework for satellite Earth observation thus supporting the full implementation of its potentials.

Core Spatial Databases – Updating, Maintenance and Services – from Theory to Practice
15th March, 2010 – 17th March, 2010
You are cordially invited to participate and contribute to the ISPRS Multi-Commission Workshop on “Core Spatial Databases: Updating, Maintenance and Services, from
Theory to Practice,” organized jointly by six ISPRS Working Groups from three Commissions and to take place in Haifa from March 15 to 17, 2010. The Workshop will bring together researchers, scholars, students, professionals, vendors, users, managers and decision makers to present, exhibit and discuss the issues and latest trends in the Maintenance, Updating and Services of core spatial data bases. Credible classification of remotely sensed data is currently one of the most challenging facets of geoinformation sciences. The significant advance we have been witnessing in remotely sensed data quality and the similar progress we are seeing in computing power enable us today to simultaneously study a large number of spatial phenomena. Rapid increase in available data sources (more satellites, new airborne sensor ystems,
advanced ground scanners and in situ observations) and the multi-source complex data they generate calls for the automatization of image understanding processes.
Automatization becomes fundamental to ensure spatial data bases remain relevant and responsive to modern processing and product requirements. From location
definition, phenomenon description and decision making, spatially structured and textured data serve as the source for intelligent, timely and effective answers.
Each of the six contributing ISPRS Working Groups will organize special sessions that will complement our jointly organized theme sessions. Also offered during the
Workshop are technical and social events and “Holy Land” tours after the Workshop.

Historic maps and imagery for modern scientific applications II
30th September, 2009 – 3rd October, 2009
What kind of data sources, i.e. historic maps and engravings, aerial and terrestrial
images or classic paintings, are available to address current day research objectives?
The conference serves as a platform for scientists of various disciplines who employ historic maps and/or imagery for their research: Archaeologists utilizing historic aerial imagery for mapping of surface features, Historians working on terrestrial and urbanistic developments as well as Geoscientists quantifying landscape evolution from historic maps are cordially invited to present their work. We also call upon scientists from Geodesy and Informatics to present aims and methods for digitizing and visualization of historic data, as well as anyone else working in related fields.
Main focus 2009: Maps, sketches and travelogues of historic expeditions
The main topic in 2009 will be concerned with the impact that travelogues, sketches and maps of the first explorers have retained until today. How do these reports support science today?
Humboldt’s Expedition to America and the exploration of Egypt following Napoleon’s Egyptian expeditions at the turn of the 18th to the 19th century marked a turning point in the spirit of researchers towards the exploration of pristine areas. As a consequence countries were competing in a race like behavior to send their best
explorers to discover places and follow rivers to their springs, i.e. the Nile River.
Despite stiff competition amongst explorers the last empty spots on the globe were not
filled until the 1930’s. The crossing of the world’s largest sand desert, Rub al-Chali, was accomplished not before 1931.
From today’s perspective the maps, sketches and travelogues of these expeditions are
indispensible as they are the first and only report on the natural landscapes, animal and plant life and also the conventions and habits of native people that often changed drastically with the arrival of the explorers or soon thereafter.
