Second Announcement and Call for Participation Joint ISPRS Commission III/IV Workshop, 17-19 September 1997, Stuttgart 3D Reconstruction and Modelling of Topographic Objects - Integration of multiple information sources and image understanding - All relevant information, including general information, the preliminary program and the registration forms can be found at the Workshop Web site: http://www.technion.ac.il/people/krupnik/workshop.html ORGANISING ISPRS WORKING GROUPS: WG III/4 - Image Understanding/Object Recognition WG IV/2 - Digital Terrain Models, Orthoimages and 3D GIS Intercommission WG IV/III.2 - Integration of Image Analysis and GIS COOPERATING ORGANISATIONS: International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) German Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (DGPF) Institute of Photogrammetry, University Stuttgart 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.
