GIScience News: Top Stories

Network of Young Researchers in GISc

The young researcher forum for Geographic Information Science aims to help participants of the GI-Days 2007 and other young researchers in field to stay in contact. The forums can be used to discuss current trends in GIScience, to get in contact with other researchers in the field, and to discuss problems and ideas regarding your ongoing (PhD) projects.

Call for Papers for the ISPRS Spring 2009 issue

The International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISRPS) Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing is inviting research articles to be submitted to its Spring 2009 issue. The theme for the issue is on “Image analysis and image engineering in close range photogrammetry”.

The following is the news issued by ISPRS:

Driven by progress in sensor technology, algorithms and data processing capabilities, close range photogrammetry has found a wide range of new application fields over the past two decades. A central issue in many developments is the integration of sensor technology with reliable data processing schemes to generate highly automated photogrammetric measurement systems. Many promisingnew application fields are found in using photogrammetric techniques in industrial design, production and quality control processes as well as in robotics, virtual reality or quantitative biomedical imaging. Sophisticated image engineering approaches were developed to support the reliability of image analysis procedures and to achieve success rates beyond 99.9% in fully automatic multi-ocular photogrammetric 3D measurement systems.

You are encouraged to contribute to the special issue by submitting your latest research and development results in the field of close range photogrammetry, more specifically:

- Automation of photogrammetric data processing, optimization of precision and reliability
- Online or real-time close range photogrammetric measurement systems
- Image engineering, CAD/CAM-based techniques
- Photogrammetric network design, precision verification strategies
- 3D object tracking, motion analysis and deformation measurement techniques
- Biometry, quantitative medical image analysis, human body measurement
- New imaging sensors, sensor modeling and calibration techniques
- Sensor fusion concepts

Papers must be original contributions, not previously published or submitted to other journals. Paperspublished or submitted for publication in conference proceedings may be considered provided that they are considerably extended and improved. Substantive research and relevant-for-practice paperswill be preferred. Papers must follow the instructions for authors which are available here.

You can submit the full manuscript to by March 1, 2008 at this website
