Automated extraction of objects from remotely sensed data is an important topic of research in Computer Vision, Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, and Geoiformation Science. This joint conference of ISPRS working groups I/2, III/1, III/4 and III/5 held at Technische Universität München (TUM), 5-7 October 2011, Munich, discusses recent developments, the potential of various data sources, and future trends in automatic object extraction both with respect to sensors and processing techniques. The focus of the conference lies on methodological research.

Conference topics

• d and 3d object extraction, e.g.
  • Building reconstruction and 3d City Modeling
  • Roads extraction,vehicle detection and traffic monitoring
  • Vegetation extraction and classification
  • People detection and crowd analysis
• using sensors
  • Digital cameras (visible, near and thermal infrared)
  • LiDAR (multi pulse and full waveform)
  • Radar (SAR, InSAR, PolSAR)
• on plattforms
  • Spaceborne (satellites)
  • Airborne (aircrafts, UAVs)
  • Mobile (cars, robots, hand-held)
  • Terrestrial (outdoor, indoor, close-range)
• Surface modeling and reconstruction
• Surveillance and change detection
• Learning and statistical methods for object extraction
• Automated sensor orientation and calibration
• Tracking in image sequences and videos
• Ego-motion determination for navigation and scene reconstruction
• Sensor and data fusion including information from GIS and CAD

Conference Venue
The conference will be held in Munich, the capital of Bavaria, and will be hosted by the Department of Photogrammetry and
Remote Sensing, Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM). The workshop site is located at TUM, close to the museum district,
and in walking distance to the main station and center of Munich.
