JURSE 2011 First Announcement and Call for Papers

JURSE 2011

IEEE GRSS and ISPRS Joint Urban Remote Sensing Event

April 11-13, 2011
Munich, Germany

http://www.jurse2011.tum.de

Scope:

JURSE 2011 intends to be a unique forum for urban remote
sensing with respect to the Information Technology and
Geoscience community. A continuously increasing amount of
multiple sensory data offers opportunities to address new
questions and solve existing problems more effectively in
urban remote sensing. To exploit the full potential these
diverse data sources offer, several questions needs to be
investigated, for example how to select the best data sets
for different applications and how to implement and exploit
the algorithms and procedures developed for single sensor
data processing. Another important question is how to combine
the information derived from these different sensors, for
example on which level should the individually processed data
been fused.

The objectives of JURSE 2011 are:

  • gathering people coming from industry, academia, local and
    national/international agencies together to discuss topics
    related to remote sensing for urban monitoring
  • fostering the research and the applications of available
    data sets over urban areas, with a special consideration
    for high resolution satellite data and data fusion
  • providing new ideas for developing sensors and/or systems
    able to analyze and monitor urban areas
  • improving the knowledge and the know-how by means of the
    interaction of researchers coming from different communities
    (town and regional planning, engineering, photogrammetry,
    geology, hydrology, etc.)

Conference topics:

Urban remote sensing includes a wide array of research topics
and disciplines, and is emerging as a truly interdisciplinary
field. The joint conferences will feature many special sessions
with oral and poster components.

  • New data & sensors for urban area remote sensing
  • Structure detection and characterization in urban areas
  • Algorithms and techniques for remotely sensed data interpretation
  • Algorithms and techniques for urban area applications
  • Urban Climatology, Geology, and Geohazards
  • RS Applications to Social Science
  • RS Applications to Urban Planning and Conservation
  • Urban Development and Growth Pattern
  • Urban/Periurban Ecology

Paper Submission:

Prospective authors are invited to submit a F U L L PAPER
of maximum 4 pages via the web interface. These papers will
undergo a review process by the program committee. Accepted
papers will be published on CD-ROM and in IEEE Xplore.

Student Paper Competition:

During the forthcoming Joint Urban Remote Sensing Event 2011,
a student paper competition will be held. It is a wonderful
occasion for young researchers in urban remote sensing to
expose their work in this unique venue and be recognized for
their value. For students whose paper will be accepted for
this session, conference sponsors provide funds for partial
reimbursement of travel and lodging expenses. Moreover,
prizes and certificates for the first three papers in the
competition will be provided.

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.

Joint Conference Chairs:

Uwe Stilla Technische Universitatet Muenchen, Germany
Paolo Gamba University of Pavia, Italy
Carsten Juergens Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany
Derya Maktav Istanbul Technical University, Turkey

Important dates:

  • Submission of full papers September 30,2010
  • Notification of authors December 10, 2010
  • Submission of camera ready manuscripts January 31, 2011
  • Author registration deadline January 31, 2011
  • JURSE 2011 April 11-13, 2011


EOGC 2011
