The Technical Program Chairs and ASPRS staff will be communicating with you by email on a frequent basis. Please make certain that these emails are not stopped by your spam blocker or other email screening mechanism. Also, if your email address changes at any time, please make sure to let us know; otherwise you will miss important information regarding the conference.
We encourage submissions on research and utilization of innovative technologies in the remote sensing, photogrammetric, and GIS fields, as well as technologies that will provide information or assistance to the surveying and mapping community. We also welcome submissions for updates on the more traditional technologies.
This conference will have an outstanding set of technical presentations on all aspects of imaging and geospatial information. Following the theme of the conference, Reflection of the Past, Vision for the Future, we will feature sessions on the evolution and future of geospatial data collection, processing and analysis, and information derivation in ways that are useful in making local, national and global decisions, whether it is for homeland security, resource management, business, or other purposes.
If you have not presented a technical paper in the past, you will fi nd this a very benefi cial experience. For those returning presenters, we welcome you back. By sharing your new or improved process, technique or capability application or product with your fellow conference attendees, you are advancing the geospatial industry and you an your organization will benefit from this professional exposure.
Oral presentation, as well as poster presentation, abstracts are highly encouraged and will be featured throughout the conference. The following topics are suggested. Please determine which topic area is most appropriate for your presentation.
