*************************************************************
7th International Workshop on Pattern Recognition in Remote Sensing

Date and Location: Nov. 11, 2012, Tsukuba Science City, Japan (in
conjunction with ICPR 2012)

Organizers:
Jenny Q. Du (Mississippi State University, USA)
Eckart Michaelsen (FGAN Research Institute for Optronics and Pattern
Recognition, Germany)
Peijun Du (Nanjing University, China)

Scope:
The workshop papers will cover interdisciplinary research on novel
pattern recognition techniques for the analysis of data collected from
spaceborne or airborne sensors used for Earth observation. Topics of
interest include pattern classification, object recognition, image
segmentation, registration, motion analysis, with applications such as
urban analysis, tracking, change detection on various types of data
obtained from optical, synthetic aperture radar, and LIDAR sensors.

Paper Submission:
Papers must be written in English, have no more than four (4) double
column pages, and should adhere to the ICPR conference submission
guidelines regarding the paper format (see Paper Submission at the
ICPR 2012 website http://www.icpr2012.org). Reviewing will be
double-blind: authors will not know the names of the reviewers of
their papers, and reviewers will not know the names of the authors. In
submitting a paper to PRRS, the authors acknowledge that no paper
substantially similar in content has been or will be submitted to
another conference or workshop during the PRRS review period. The
workshop proceedings will be indexed in IEEE Xplore. Only the papers
that are presented in the workshop will be included in the proceedings.

Registration:
Registration will be handled by ICPR organizers and all discounts for
IAPR members will also apply to the workshop.

Important Dates:
March 31, 2012: Paper submission
June 15, 2012: Notification of acceptance
July 15, 2012: Camera ready paper and author registration
