General
Recent advances in geodetic and photogrammetric measurement systems and the
rapid progress in the area of machine, computer and robot vision have
opened the way to prompt evaluation of digital photogrammetry as the modern
measurement science. The primary function of photogrammetry is to obtain
quantitative data about physical objects or the environment. This includes
methods to accurately and automatically recover 3D properties, such as
coordinates and dimensions, from image. These images are obtained not only
>from photo or CCD cameras but also from other sensors. Remote sensing of
terrestrial scenes from satellites and airborne platforms has become
increasingly important in a broad range of applications from intelligence
gathering to environmental monitoring. Earth observation data is already
being collected in huge quantities. The users and potential users of this
information are a diverse community with very different missions. Digital
photogrammetry and geographic information systems (GIS) design are the
basic areas of remote sensing data use. Therefore the conference is
intended to bring together experts and users from the fields of
photogrammetry, machine vision and remote sensing from universities,
industry, governmental organizations and engineering firms, in order to
discuss recent scientific and technical advancements and to study new
applications. The conference intends to discuss the mathematical
techniques, processing algorithms and hardware, new approaches to 3-D
information extraction using images and image sequences, system aspects,
components, integration, user interface, use of GIS and CAD platforms.
Conference Site
The Conference will be held from June 25-30, 1995 on a comfortable river
cruising ship following the route Saint Petersburg - Valaam - Kiji -
Petrozavodsk - Saint Petersburg. This route allows you to combine
scientific work with some spectacular sightseeing activities and pleasant
relaxation. The conference participants can enjoy the beauty of Ladoga and
Onega Lakes, Neva and Svir Rivers, and the ancient Russian architectural
monuments of Kiji and Valaam Islands during the exciting period of the
"White Nights", when the sun does not fully settle down and daylight will
not vanish.
Technical Program
The program will consist of sessions for presented papers and poster
session.
The working language of the conference will be English with possibly a few
contributions in Russian (with translator).
A total of 45 papers will be presented in 8 Technical Sessions and Poster
Session. The Opening of the Conference will feature welcoming addresses of
various authorities. The Closing Session will include a panel discussion,
reviewing scientific, technical, professional and educational matters.

Proceedings
The Organizing Committee has the preliminary agreement with SPIE staff
about publishing the conference proceedings as the Volume of SPIE
Proceedings. But because of the lack of time it is impossible to do by the
beginning of the conference. So all active participants will receive
abstracts of conference reports on the ship and then total manuscript
volume after the conference.
Telecommunication services
Unfortunately you will have telecommunication services in St. Petersburg
and Petrozavodsk only. So you will have no telecommunications on June 27
and June 29.
Registration and Accommodation
The registration fee covers full accommodation (room and meals), conference
registration with proceedings, on-board entertainment (music theater),
excursions on Valaam Island, on Kiji Island and in Petrozavodsk, service
and a guided one-day sightseeing tour in St. Petersburg prior to the ship
departure. There are restaurant, cafe, some bars, and little shop with
souvenirs on the ship. There isn't an exchange office on the ship and the
Organizing Committee asks you to make currency exchange in airport or in
your hotel before the ship departure. All rooms on the ship are two-bedroom

each room.
The following registration rates apply:
* Single occupancy: US $750 - per person (Active participant)
