Only original material should be submitted. Extended abstracts should contain enough detail to clearly convey the approach and the results of the research (at least four A4 pages). Government and company clearance to present and publish should be final at the time of submittal. Submissions may be placed in an oral or poster session at the chairs' discretion. PROCEEDINGS OF THESE MEETINGS : These meetings will result in published proceedings that can be ordered through the advance programme. Manuscripts are required of all accepted applicants and must be submitted in English by 21 june 1996. Copyright to the manuscript is expected to be released for publication in the conference proceedings. Note : if an author does not attend the meeting and make a presentation, the chair may choose not to publish the author 's manuscript in the conference proceedings. Papers published are indexed in leading scientific databases including INSPEC, Compendex plus, Physics abstracts, Chemical abstracts, International aerospace abstracts and index to Scientific and technical proceedings. PAPER REVIEW : Commercial papers, description of papers with no research content, and papers where supporting data or a technical description cannot be given for proprietary reasons will not be accepted for presentation in this symposium. To assure a high quality conference, all extended abstracts and proceedings papers will be reviewed by the conference chairs and their scientific committees for technical merit and content. YOUR ABSTRACT SHOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING : 1. ABSTRACT TITLE 2. AUTHOR LISTING (principal author first) full names and affiliations as they will appear in the advance programme. 3. CORRESPONDENCE FOR EACH AUTHOR Mailing address, telephone, telefax, e-mail address 4. SUBMIT TO : Conference title: Image and Signal processing Conference chair : Desachy J. at satellite remote sensing symposium 5. PRESENTATION Please indicate your preference for either "oral presentation" or "poster presentation" 6. INDICATIONS Indicate clearly a - Which call for paper topic is closest to your proposal b - Which Remote Sensing problem is the paper addressing? c - What is the message of the paper in a nutshell? d - What sort of Remote Sensing data will the authors use to demonstrate their work? 7. KEY WORDS 8. EXTENDED ABSTRACT TEXT at least four A4 pages 8. BRIEF BIOGRAPHY ( principal author only ) 50 to 100 words ORAL PRESENTATION : Each author is allowed 20 minutes plus a five-minute discussion period.
