Integrating Photogrammetric Techniques With
Scene Analysis and Machine Vision III
In conjunction with ISPRS WG II/6 and Intercommission Working Group II/III.
Conference Chairs: David M. McKeown, Jr., Carnegie Mellon Univ.

This conference, the third in a series, has been a focal point for
papers describing basic research or advanced system applications of
digital photogrammetry applied to problems in automated mapping,
analysis of remotely sensed imagery, and feature extraction for spatial
database generation and update. As such we solicit papers in the
following areas:
(1) Use of photogrammetry in computer vision algorithms for object
recognition, modeling, and scene analysis including:
o use of photogrammetric information to guide computer vision
algorithms
o use of high quality geometric information and invariants
o precision and accuracy of derived points, features, and
models
o managing uncertainty in derived object models
(2) Use of computer vision for typical photogrammetric problems:
o interior orientation
o tie point selection
o control point identification and measurement
o calibration
(3) Automated mapping applications including:
o terrain modeling
o automated image-scene registration
o cartographic feature extraction of manmade structures
o understanding and utilization of existing maps, databases,
imagery
o surface cover description and characterization
o cartographic change detection
o applications to forestry, land use, environmental monitoring
o rapid construction of virtual world databases for simulation
and planning
(4) Computer vision and multisensor fusion using explicit
photogrammetric models of non-traditional sensors:
o airborne multispectral / hyperspectral scanners
o imaging radar
o FLIR, IR
(5) Design issues for advanced automated analysis systems including:
o effects of image handling, resampling, compression
and softcopy stereo display on measurement precision
o the utility of automation vs. operator interaction
o innovative techniques for output verification, correction,
and editing.
(6) GIS issues in digital photogrammetry including:
o utilization of existing map products and their automated
update
o types of derived products such as thematic maps, 3D
visualization, temporal visualization
o maintenance of spatial data over time
As in previous conferences approximately 25 minutes will be allocated
for paper presentation with 5 minutes reserved for questions and
discussion. Paper submissions for review should be approximately 15
pages long, single spaced using a 12 point font. 500 to 1000-word
extended abstracts may be submitted for review and should convey the
technical approach and results of the research. Indicate regular
session or poster presentation preference. Preference for regular
session presentations will be given to full paper submissions. A small
number of invited papers will be solicited.
Please send (3) copies of full papers or extended abstracts by October
28, 1996 to:
