ESA-EUSC 2008 Conference

Image Information Mining: pursuing automation of geospatial intelligence for environment and security, which will be held at ESA / ESRIN (Frascati, Italy) on March 4-5, 2008.

The Conference will be followed on March 6, 2008 by a
“Panel on Information Mining from images, geo-information and text”.
============================

CONFERENCE DETAILS
Participation to conference and panel is free of charge up toavailable seats.
Interested participants shall register within February 1, 2008,
sending an e-mail to Patrizia Farroni@esa.int.
The Conference is scientifically sponsored by IEEE GRSS.
ESA will publish related “Workshop Proceedings”.
Contributors are encouraged to make their interactive presentations,
since only articles presented at the Conference will be published.

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
