CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
ASPRS is now requesting abstract submissions for the next
ASPRS Annual Conference taking place in Washington, DC on
March 23-25, 2020 as part of the second annual Geo Week.
The inaugural Geo Week in Denver last January drew over
1500 attendees; the ASPRS program included 19 workshops
attended by over 300 participants and over 150 technical pre-
sentations. Papers accepted for the 2020 ASPRS program will
be published as proceedings in the International Archives of
the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information
Sciences.
We are seeking presentation abstracts based on ASPRS core
disciplines in the collection, management, exploitation, and
analysis of geospatial sources, data, and information. Topics
sought include innovative approaches to acquisition of geospa-
tial data, practical applications of these data, data management
and processing, and decision-making based on these data at
the local, state and federal level. We are especially interested in
contributions, focused on the future of imaging and geospatial
information technologies, which provide a glimpse of develop-
ments on the horizon. Individuals from government agencies,
private firms and universities are all encouraged to submit
abstracts on these topics as they augment and challenge the
geospatial future.
We invite abstracts aimed at audiences comprising new, as well as seasoned, geo-
spatial professionals, government agency representatives, and academic research-
ers. You will be asked to submit your proposal under one of the following categories
that cover basic research, new developments, applications and the infrastructure for
geospatial data.
• Remote sensing instrument design and calibration and/or deployment of such
instruments on spaceborne, airborne, and in-situ platforms, including small
satellites and UAS
• Video sensor data exploitation
• Photogrammetric and computer vision applications
• Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and analytics using imagery
• Open-source and/or cloud-based geospatial processing software and/or systems
• Geospatial data standards, including metadata and product formats
• Education and outreach in the domains of remote sensing and photogrammetry
• Integration of multiple geospatial data sets to address research or societal
issues
• Remote sensing applications in areas including, but not limited to, infrastructure
management and inspections, surveying and mapping, Big Data visualization
and quality control, natural resource management, emergency management
and homeland security, wildlife and habitat monitoring, water resources and
coastal/maritime operations, environmental and atmospheric monitoring, and
regulatory policy
• GIS and modeling applications, in areas including, but not limited to, those listed
for remote sensing applications above
• Geospatial industry role in smart cities, autonomous vehicle navigation, and
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
