(Company for Applied Remote Sensing and Information Technology) GEOSYSTEMS GmbH MVTec Software GmbH 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 It consists of high quality, previously unpublished papers.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 Conference Chair Heinrich Ebner1 Wolfgang Eckstein2 Christian Heipke3 Helmut Mayer1 1Chair for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing Technische Universit"at M"unchen, Germany ebn@photo.verm.tu-muenchen.de helmut@photo.verm.tu-muenchen.de 2MVTec Software GmbH, Germany; eckstein@mvtec.com 3Institute for Photogrammetry and Engineering Surveys University of Hanover, Germany; heipke@ipi.uni-hannover.de Organizing Committee A.
