INVITATION

The workshop wants to bring together specialists in digital
photogrammetry, image analysis, remote sensing and GIS to discuss the
current state of (semi-)automatic procedures for acquiring object
information from images and maps. It will deal mainly with topographic
objects, especially in urban regions, and will focus on 3D approaches.
The goal is to find common object models and analysis strategies with
emphasis on the integration of multiple information and knowledge
sources.  The topics will refer to basic research or advanced
applications of digital photogrammetry and computer vision for
geo-database generation and update.

During the three days of the workshop, researchers and practitioners
from digital photogrammetry, image analysis, remote sensing, GIS and
related fields will have the opportunity to put in perspective the
interrelationships of all involved disciplines, thus maximizing mutual
gains. You are cordially invited to participate and contribute to its
success.
