High-Resolution Earth Imaging for Geospatial Information
1st June, 2009 – 9th June, 2009
ISPRS Hannover Workshop 2009
W/G 1/2, 1/4, IV/2, IV/3, VII/2
Earth imaging from air and space has undergone major changes over the last years. Examples of new and significant developments comprise a growing use of digital aerial cameras, an increasing number of high-resolution and hyperspectral satallite sensors, of laser scanning and SAR/inSAR. Calibration issues are important for every sensor. Today, all these data are used for the production of geospatial information. At the same time, updating existing geospatial databases has gained more importance, and automation has had a significant impact on the processing chain. In addition, the stunning success of Google Earth and Microsoft Virtual Earth along with developments such as GEO (intergovernmental Group of Earth Observation), GEOSS (Global Earth Observation System of Systems) and GMES (Global Monitoring of Environment and Security) have significantly changed the remote sensing arena in the last few years. These developments form the background for the ISPRS Hannover Workshop “High-Resolution Earth Imaging for Geospatial Information 2009”, which you are cordially invited to attend. This meeting is a follow-up workshop of those held in Hannover in previous years. The single-track workshop addresses experts from research, government and private industry. It consists of high quality papers, and will provide an international forum for discussion of leading research and technological developments as well as applications in the field. IPI is proud to announce that Intergraph agreed to be the exclusive sponsor of this event. During Thursday afternoon, Intergraph will conduct a master class where the processing chain of photogrammetry and remote sensing is illustrated by software demonstrations and real-life examples.
