SPIE Aerospace Sensing & Dual Use Sensors and Controls Orlando '95 Orlando Marriot World Center Hotel Orlando, Florida 17-21 April, 1995 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- C A L L F O R P A P E R S ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SPIE 95 Conference: Integrating Photogrammetric Techniques With Scene Analysis and Machine Vision April 17-21 1995 In conjunction with ISPRS Intercommission Working Group II/III on Digital Photogrammetric Systems. Conference Chairs David McKeown Carnegie Mellon University Ian Dowman University College, London The focus of this conference is the application of rigorous photogrammetric techniques to automated scene analysis and image understanding with primary emphasis on the analysis of remotely sensed imagery. Many automated and semi-automated image interpretation algorithms have reached a level of refinement where the introduction of accurate photogrammetry may be essential to successful results. The addition of photogrammetric knowledge to these algorithms will also provide additional information and constraints. We solicit contributions to this conference that focus on aspects of photogrammetry and computer-assisted image interpretation in the following areas: (1) Use of photogrammetry in computer vision algorithms for object recognition, modeling, and scene analysis including: o Use of photogrammetric information to guide computer vision algorithms. o Use of high quality geometric information and invariants. o Precision of derived points and features. o Managing uncertainty in derived models. o Computer vision in typical photogrammetric problems: resection calibration tie-point determination (2) Automated mapping applications including: o Terrain modeling. o Automated image-scene registration. o Cartographic feature extraction of manmade structures. o Understanding and utilization of existing maps, databases, imagery. o Surface cover description and characterization. o Cartographic change detection. o Applications to forestry, land use, environmental monitoring. (3) Multisensor fusion using explicit photogrammetric models including modeling of non-traditional sensors, such as: o Airborne multi-spectral scanners o Imaging radar o FLIR, IR o Sonar (4) Design issues for advanced photogrammetric workstations including: o Effects of image handling, resampling, and softcopy stereo display on measurment precision. o Automation vs. operator interaction. o Output verification and editing. (5) GIS issues in digital photogrammetry including: o Utilization and update of databases. o Types of derived products. o Maintenance of spatial data over time. Paper submissions should be approximately 15 pages in length and should clearly address one or more of the topics above. Extended Abstracts can be submitted for review. These should be between 1000 - 1500 words in length and should clearly convey the approach and results of the research. Papers will be selected for either presentation during a regular session, or in a poster presentation. Full papers will be allowed 30 minutes of presentation time so as to allow for a complete technical discussion. Please indicate a preference for presentation. A small number of invited papers will be solicited. Please send (3) copies of full papers or extended abstracts by October 15, 1994 to: David M.
