It consists of high quality, previously unpublished papers, presented either orally or as posters. Contributions should 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 submitted papers will undergo a rigorous review process. Reviewing will be carried out in a "double blind" fashion by the Program Committee. Proceedings will be published in the International Archives of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Volume XXXII, Part 3-2W5. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS Submit four (4) copies of the paper in English by January 16, 1999 to: Conference Secretariat ISPRS-Munich99 Chair for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing Technische Universitaet Muenchen D-80290 Muenchen Germany Each of the four copies must contain the following items: 1. A title page containing: (a) The title of the paper (b) The names and complete addresses (telephone, fax, email) of all authors (c) An abstract of up to 300 words clearly stating the impact of the contribution (originality, importance, results, practical impact, related work and how it differs) (d) A set of keywords 2. A second title page with only title, abstract, and keywords. Authors and institutions are not to be identified The paper is restricted to 6 pages formatted in ISPRS two-column style (A LaTeX2e class file, BibTeX style file, and demonstration LaTeX2e file, as well as an MS Word File are available from the conference home page http://www.photo.verm.tu-muenchen.de/isprs/munich99/) including all text, figures and references.

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. Bavarian Alps and a number of pleasant lakes. Also, famous sights, including the castles of King Ludwig II are within easy reach of the city. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTACT ADDRESS For further details and information please contact the Conference Secretariat: Conference Secretariat ISPRS-Munich99 Chair for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing Technische Universitaet Muenchen D-80290 Muenchen Germany Phone: +49-89-2892-2671 Fax: +49-89-280-9573 E-mail: isprs_conf99@photo.verm.tu-muenchen.de
