MMT2015 Extends Abstract Deadline

The 9th International Symposium on Mobile Mapping Technology (MMT 2015), to be hosted by the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, UNSW Australia, will take place in the harbour side city of Sydney, Australia, from Wednesday 9 to Friday 11 December 2015. The organisation has extended the deadline for abstracts, industry case studies and panel discussions to 6 August.

Over the past 20 years, the MMT Symposium has been the primary event jointly sponsored by the International Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS), International Association of Geodesy (IAG) and the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG). In addition, for the first time, another two major international organisations, the International Society of Mine Surveying (ISM) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA), Australia’s Surveying and Spatial Sciences Institute (SSSI), and Spatial Industries Business Association (SIBA), Australian Robotics and Automation Association (ARAA), as well as Australian Network of Structural Health Monitoring (ANSHM), have also offered the official sponsorships to the MMT2015.

The MMT-2015 will be an open forum to discuss the most recent technologies and their applications, to exchange experiences and to promote future research aiming at technological advancement and improved professional practice in the fields related to mobile mapping.

The Symposium will feature the keynote speakers, oral and interactive poster sessions, industry panel discussions, technical case studies; pre-Symposium workshops and a trade exhibition, as well as a variety of entertaining social events.
