                      invites to a

                   Specialist Workshop
     Methods for Extracting and Mapping Buildings, Roads 
          and other Man-Made Structures from Images

                   September 2 - 3, 1996

              Lecture Hall i3, Inffeldgasse 25

Space imagery is becoming available at increasingly higher geometric
resolutions, approaching those traditionally reserved to aerial
photography. The creation of base maps, the detection of changes, the
merging of images from different sensors all benefit from an ability to
automatically recognize man-made objects from digital overhead images. Yet
this ability is far from being available in a routine manner. To focus
attention on this issue we invite you to contribute to, and attend, a
specialist workshop. To this end we issue a

                         CALL FOR PAPERS

for this workshop. Note that it is set to follow the International
Conference on Pattern Recognition ICPR, to be held in Vienna, Austria,
August 25 - 30, 1996. 

Please send 3 copies of your extended 1 to 3 page abstract and usual
information before 31 January 1996 to the local organizer: 

     Franz Leberl, Chairman of TC-7
     Institute for Computer Graphics
     Muenzgrabenstrasse 11, A-8010 Graz, Austria

This workshop is coordinated with the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing
Society (IEEE GRS) and with the International Society for Photogrammetry
and Remote Sensing (ISPRS, Prof. Dr. Armin Grn). 

Contributions will be selected from the abstracts. We plan to print the
full papers as a book.
