PROGRAM
This International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing
(ISPRS) single track conference addresses researchers and
practitioners from universities, research institutes, industry,
government organizations, and engineering companies. 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high quality, previously unpublished papers, presented either orally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.

CONFERENCE VENUE
The conference will be held at Technische Universitaet Muenchen, 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.
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.
