Joint Workshop of EARSeL Special Interest Groups
University of Warsaw, Main Campus, Krakowskie Przedmiescie 26/28, Warsaw, Poland Warsaw, 19-20 June 2014
The workshop is jointly organized by two Special Interest Groups (SIG) of the European Association of Remote Sensing Laboratories (EARSeL). The topic of the workshop is of mutual interest to these SIG's. Thus the workshop will have an integrative function to bring together people from 3D and Urban remote sensing branches to discuss their experiences and problems in dealing with high resolution data.
High resolution data are a valuable source for urban and suburban areas and can deliver information in high geometric and semantic quality for various cities and urban agglomerations around the world.
The three-dimensional shape of the Earth is of major importance for several remote sensing applications. In this respect, methodologies and techniques related to the different steps of Digital Surface, Elevation and Terrain Models (DSM's, DEM's, DTM's) generation and quality control are continuously investigated, also considering the uninterrupted launches of new satellite sensors. In addition, DSM's, DEM's and DTM's applications are addressed, where they act as a base for orthoimages, correct georeferencing, radiometric correction of images depending upon aspect, terrain analysis, flood prediction, coastal mapping, erosion control, determination of subsidence, noise and gas propagation, telecommunications planning and several other aspects.
You are cordially invited to participate in a workshop with challenging topics. Please feel free to submit your individual input and to share your experiences with colleagues from around Europe.
