Programme

Overview

With the support of the ISPRS Technical Commissions, we will offer delegates eight exciting days of tutorials, workshops, presentations and technical tours. And of course there will also be an engaging social programme that will be a mix of cultural and sporting events. Whether you prefer an evening at theatre or a taste of Australian rules football, there will be something for you to enjoy. The social programme will be just a small sample of the highlights of Melbourne, Victoria and Australia.

The main technical programme will consist of plenary sessions, oral presentation sessions with up to nine parallel streams, and poster sessions. Each of the eight Commissions can have an oral presentation stream in every session, and the ninth parallel stream will be reserved for additional events, such as special sessions, the Computer Aided Teaching Contest (CATCON) and the Australasian Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry conference.

Technical Commissions will have the option of a double blind peer review of de-identified full papers, or acceptance based on abstracts only, with all submissions and reviews conducted online. Some Commissions may opt to have both peer reviewed and professional paper streams. Peer reviewed papers will be clearly identified in the proceedings.

The congress in Melbourne will be the first to use electronic posters that allow dynamic content. Poster sessions will be very different. Authors will have the opportunity to make a brief presentation to the session, then discuss their poster with individual delegates at poster "pods".

All in all there will be something in the ISPRS 2012 Congress programme to excite or delight everyone. You will enjoy the experience!

A Youth Forum will be organised for Monday 27 August, comprising four sessions of oral presentations, a poster session, a panel session and a general assembly. The poster session will comprise brief presentations followed by the opportunity for participants to view digital posters.

Young researchers (under 30 years on 1 July 2012) are encouraged to attend the sessions of their interests. Papers submitted to the Youth Forum sessions should be clearly indicated on the Abstract Submission Form. Abstracts must be submitted by October 24, 2011. Authors are requested to consult the ISPRS Orange Book (www.isprs.org/documents/orangebook.html) for instructions on paper preparation.

Papers accepted as oral and poster presentations of the Youth Forum sessions will be published in a Special Volume of the Congress Proceedings.

Youth Forum Best Paper and Best Poster Awards
Two Youth Forum Best Paper Awards and three Youth Forum Best Poster Awards will be granted for the best papers and posters presented at the ISPRS Youth Forum Sessions. The first author (who must be under 30 years on 1 July 2012) of a multi-author paper is qualified to apply for such awards. The deadline for submission of full papers is 31 January 2012.

Student Consortium
The ISPRS Student Consortium (SC), established at the Istanbul Congress in 2004, represents the next generation of ISPRS scientists and professionals with more than 500 members from 76 countries. The main purpose of the SC is to link students, young researchers and professionals in different countries and provide a platform for exchange of information, to organize student-specific events and other actions that integrate youth more effectively into ISPRS.

For the XXII ISPRS Congress in Melbourne, the SC will organize, in cooperation with the Congress Director and his team, numerous activities:

  • A week-long summer school before the Congress with lectures, practical laboratories, social events and lots of fun.
  • As noted above, the Youth Forum, a full day event with student paper presentations and posters, awards, invited speakers and the General Assembly where the new SC Board will be elected.
  • City tours and social events will be waiting for young participants throughout the Congress organized by local students for their international peers.

Efforts will be made to keep costs as low as possible. Scholarships and travel support will be provided for some participants for inexpensive or even free accommodation (staying at the homes of Australian students).

For more information about the summer school and the Youth Forum Session, please visit http://www.isprs-studentconsortium.org

Tutorials And Workshops

The main objective of the contest is to promote the development and dissemination of effective, educational and user-friendly multimedia tutorials, simulations and virtual environments, information packages or data sets and application software for computer assisted teaching in photogrammetry, remote sensing or spatial information science.

All registrants at the ISPRS Congress may nominate a software system or a data set for the contest. In principle, all tutorials, software or data sets nominated for CATCON should be non-commercial and should be provided to users without license charges for not-for-profit use. Contestants are required to provide their own notebook computer to demonstrate the software or data set. Each participant will be allocated five minutes for a brief presentation, followed by approximately two hours for demonstrations to attendees.

To register for CATCON6, please go to the WG IV/2 web page. For further information please contact the Secretary of Technical Commission 6 Working Group 2, Christiane Katterfeld.

The Gold Award, Silver Award, and Bronze Award will be presented to the winners at the Closing Ceremony.

The CATCON Awards are supported by The ISPRS Foundation.
