PIA19 - Call for Papers

Scope

Automated extraction of objects from remotely sensed data is an important topic of research in Computer Vision, Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, and Geoinformation Science. In order to discuss recent developments and future trends in research in automatic object extraction and their influence on sensors and processing techniques, the two ISPRS conferences "Photogrammetric Image Analysis" (PIA) and the "Munich Remote Sensing Symposium" (MRSS) will be held as a common event for the first time. The aim of the common event is to seek, exploit and deepen the synergies between geometry and semantics, and to give the two scientific communities the possibility to discuss with and to learn from each other. The joint event addresses experts from research, government, and private industry. It consists of high quality papers, and provides an international forum for discussion of leading research and technological developments as well as applications in the field. The location of the event will be Munich, Germany.
