Conference Topics
Presentations should focus on theory and applications leading to
more automation in geospatial information extraction and understanding from optical and SAR EO images and heterogeneous sources:
- Automatic image pre-processing (geo-referencing, ortho-rectification, radiometric calibration, etc.)
- Challenges for metre resolution optical and SAR EO images
- Geospatial Intelligence: synergies across images, maps and geo information
- Models, semantics and spatial syntax for image understanding
- Information mining from heterogeneous sources
- Human-machine communication for spatial reasoning
- Knowledge discovery and sharing
- Scenarios and constraints in Environment, Security and Intelligence applications
- System architectures for geospatial information processing
The “Panel on Information Mining from images, geo-information and text” will include topics like (final list will be made available with the programme):
- Tools
- Use of KIM (interactive information discovery from images)
- Use of KEO (component-based processing environment)
- Image understanding
- Speaking Images: Intelligence and Semantics
- Understanding high resolution SAR images
- Image Information Mining
- Automatic classification strategies
- Change detection
- Mining Time Series
- Heterogeneous information sources
- Knowledge from Web content
- Visualisation of geo information
