Categories and Topic Areas for Abstracts

The ASPRS 2004 Annual Conference “Mountains of Data — Peak Decisions” will be held May 23-28 at the Adam’s Mark Hotel in downtown Denver, Colorado. We encourage submissions on research and utilization of cutting edge 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. In following the theme of the conference, “Mountains of Data — Peak Decisions,” we will feature sessions on how to collect data, how to process and analyze data, and how to derive information from this data that is useful in making decisions, whether it is for resource management, business, or other purposes.

There will be technical sessions dealing with:

  • Remote sensing and GIS technologies and their applications in various discipline areas (e.g., land and resource management, forestry, agriculture, water resources, wildlife management, ecology, geology, geography and general land cover mapping, urban area applications, etc.);
  • Remote sensor systems (lidar, radar, multispectral, hyperspectral, high spatial resolution, video, infrared, ifsar, photographic, etc.);
  • Data processing and analysis techniques utilizing remote sensor and GIS data;
  • GIS data collection, processing and analysis techniques;
  • GPS uses and concerns;
  • Photogrammetric, surveying and mapping issues and techniques;
  • Data standards, management and policy;
  • Educational programs and issues;
  • Professional Certification Programs and Policies (ASPRS, States, other);
  • Other topics of interest
