INVITATION
We kindly invite you to our conference ``Automatic Extraction of GIS
Objects from Digital Imagery'', to be held September 8 - 10, 1999 at
Technische Universit"at M"unchen, Munich, Germany. This International
Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) single track
conference will include seven invited and 23 high-level oral
presentations.
The one-day workshop ``Semantic Modeling'' will precede the conference
on September 7, 1999 (cf. http://www.ipb.uni-bonn.de/SM/smati99.html).
The conference addresses researchers and practitioners from
universities, research institutes, industry, government organizations,
and engineering companies. It consists of high quality, previously
unpublished papers. Contributions present recent research and
applications focusing on, but not restricted to the following topics:
* Automatic and semi-automatic extraction of topographic objects
such as buildings, roads, and vegetation
* Models and strategies for topographic object extraction from
aerial images, satellite imagery, surface models, and
laser-scanner data
* Sensor and data fusion including the use of information from
geographic information systems (GIS)
* Automatic extraction of digital surface models
* Automatic image orientation and registration
* Integration and interaction of digital systems for image analysis
and GIS
* Quality control and performance evaluation
All presented papers have undergone a rigorous review
process. Reviewing was carried out in a ``double blind'' fashion. The
proceedings of the conference are published in the International
Archives of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Volume XXXII, Part
3-2W5.
The conference will be held at Technische Universit"at M"unchen, a 130
years old academic center of excellence. It is conveniently located
near the city center.
Munich is a city of fascinating experiences. Historic buildings of
every period, grand boulevards and squares, bear imposing witness to a
culture centuries old. Art, in the museums and outside, lures millions
of visitors to the city year after year. Unique are Munich`s beer
gardens. Both, locals and guests are enjoying this special way of come
together during the warm evenings in summer time.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the conference in September
1999
