Held in conjunction with the most important IAPR event, the biennial International Conference on Pattern Recognition, the workshop has established itself as an important event for scientists involved in the combined fields of pattern recognition and remote sensing.

These two research fields have always overlapped, but the large volumes of remote sensing data now coming from last generation sensors require new advanced algorithms and techniques for automatic analysis. This one-day workshop will be the ideal means to spread and exchange experiences by international researchers.

Important Dates

Paper submission deadline: April 5, 2010
Notification of acceptance: May 7, 2010
Early registration deadline: May 14, 2010
Final papers due: June 14, 2010
Workshop: August 22, 2010

This special issue recognizes the need for cross-disciplinary collaboration and offers a much needed outlet for publishing inter-disciplinary research. The emphasis of the call is on the inter-dependence of software, applications and sensor technology, as it is clear that one cannot totally disassociate hardware from software, or applications from hardware, because they depend on each other very strongly, particularly for Remote Sensing applications. Limitations on the downloading time of images, of storage and computing capacities on board satellites affect very significantly the software that has to be developed and the applications of remote sensing.

• The submitted papers should concentrate on Remote Sensing applications of Space Technology, with emphasis on the interaction and interdependence of hardware-software-application. Papers must include a significant original application or demonstration of remote sensing capabilities using the new Space Technology. In particular, papers must include more than just a description of original new technology. They must also apply that technology to a remote sensing application in a substantive way.
• Publication Schedule
  Call for Submissions: 1 September 2010
  Deadline for Submissions: 1 December 2010
  Special Issue Publication: January 2012
• All submitted papers will be subject to the standard TGRS reviewing process.
• Papers should be submitted through the TGRS web page: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tgrs

Instructions for creating new user accounts, if necessary, are available on the login screen. Please indicate during your submission that the paper is intended for this Special Issue by selecting “Space Technology” from the pull down menu for manuscript type. Questions concerning the submission process should be addressed to tgrs-editor@ieee.org. Other questions concerning the Special Issue should be addressed to the Guest Editors:

Accordingly, IGARSS 2010 presenters are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing IGARSS 2010 Special Issue to be published in December 2011. Authors should submit their manuscripts electronically to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tgrs. Prospective authors should follow the regular guidelines of the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, which are available at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tgrs. Select “IGARSS 2010 Special Issue” from the pull down menu for manuscript type. Questions concerning the submission process should be sent to tgrs-editor@ieee.org. Submissions should be complete descriptions of new and significant results. In most cases, the conference paper as it appears in the Symposium Proceedings will not be suitable for submission to the Transactions. Papers will be reviewed using the standard IEEE process. Deadline for submission: October 31, 2010.

The 19th International SeaSpace Remote Sensing Conference will be held August 1-3, 2010, at the Turtle Bay Resort, Kahuku, Hawaii USA. A group rate of $179 and U.S. Government rate of $177 will be available through the hotel when mentioning that you are attending the SeaSpace Conference. Turtle Bay is located on Oahu’s North Shore and receives praise for being a full service resort with the feel of Old Hawaii. For more information on the beautiful Turtle Bay Resort, click here.

This year’s conference theme will be “The Contributions of Remote Sensing to Public Safety and Natural Resource Preservation,” to highlight the contributions our users are making towards these fields in their respective countries. The conference is being held immediately after the conclusion of IGARSS 2010, which is less than an hour away in the bustling city of Waikiki. Now our users will be able to attend both conferences while being able to cut down on their travel and expenses.

The Annual Remote Sensing Conference is a forum for the SeaSpace user community to engage in scientific exchange and an opportunity to learn about the latest in direct broadcast remote sensing ranging from future satellite instruments to in-depth scientific presentations on atmospheric, land and ocean remote sensing applications from scientists around the world.
