ISPRS Geospatial Week 2015

Information extraction from remotely sensed data, geospatial information management and visualisation, and the development of geospatially based innovative applications and services are all very important topics of research in photogrammetry, remote sensing and geoinformation science. Hence, these topics will be covered at the ISPRS Geospatial Week 2015 which will be held in La Grande Motte (Montpellier), France, from 28 September to 2 October 2015. In order to discuss recent developments and future trends in research in these fields, the ISPRS Geospatial Week proposes a bundle of already established conferences/workshops combined with emerging events, namely:

- Silvilaser (Lidar applications for assessing forest ecosystems)

- Laserscanning (Point cloud acquisition and processing)

- CMRT (Object extraction for 3D city models, road databases and traffic monitoring)

- ISA (Image sequence analysis for object and change detection)

- ISSDQ (Geospatial data quality)

- Gi4DM (Geoinformation for disaster management)

- Geo-Hyper (Hyperspectral geospatial imagery and processing)

- Geo-VIS (Cognition and decision-making with imagery and abstract maps)

- Geo-BigData (Processing and rendering of geospatial big data)  

- Geo-UAV (UAVs for geospatial data collection)

- RSDI (Remote sensing data infrastructures for land applications services)

The objective of the ISPRS Geospatial Week is to present a full working week containing a very rich and homogeneous scientific programme related to geoinformation. The mix of methodology-oriented and thematically oriented events will bring communities together and encourage the exchange and cross-fertilisation of ideas. This event addresses experts from research, government and private industry. It consists of high-quality papers, and provides an international forum for the discussion of leading research and technological developments as well as applications in these fields.

Readers of GIM International are encouraged to contribute to the ISPRS Geospatial Week 2015 by submitting their latest research and development work to one of the conferences and workshops by the deadline of 15 April 2015. Accepted papers will be published in the ISPRS Archives and Annals series. Note that the Archives were recently included in the CPCI, the Conference Proceedings Citation Index, and the Annals are bound to follow very soon.

The meeting is organised by IGN and IRSTEA, under the auspices of the French Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing.
