ISPRS Hannover Workshop 2007
High-Resolution Earth Imaging for Geospatial Information
Hannover, Germany, May 29 ¨C June 1, 2007
Organising Working Groups:
ISPRS WG I/5: Geometric modelling of optical space-borne sensors and DEM generation?
ISPRS WG IV/3: Automated geo-spatial data acquisi-t-ion and mapping
Supporting Working Groups:
ISPRS WG I/1: Standards, calibration and validation
ISPRS WG I/4: Airborne digital photogrammetric sensor systems
ISPRS WG IV/9: Mapping from high resolution data
Workshop goals
Earth imaging from air and space have undergone major changes over the last years. Examples of new and significant developments comprise a growing use of digital aerial cameras, the growing number of high-resolution and hyper-spectral satellite sensors, of laser scanning and SAR/InSAR. Calibration issues are important for every sensor.
Today, all these data are used for the production of geo-spatial information. At the same time, updating existing geo-spatial databases has gained more importance, and automation has had a significant impact on the processing chain.
In addition the stunning success of Google Earth and Virtual Earth along with developments such as GEO (intergovernmental Group of Earth Observations), GEOSS (Global Earth Observation System of Systems) and GMES (Global Monitoring of Environment and Security) have significantly changed the remote sensing arena in the last few years.
These developments form the background for the ISPRS Hannover Workshop High-Resolution Earth Imaging for Geospatial Information 2007, which you are cordially invited to attend. This meeting is a follow-up work-shop of those held in Hannover in previous years. The single-track workshop addresses experts from research, government, and private industry. It consists of high quality papers, and will provide an inter-national forum for dis-cussion of leading research and technology developments and applications in the field.
IPI is proud to announce that Intergraph agreed to be the exclusive sponsor of this event. During Thursday afternoon Intergraph will conduct a master class where the processing chain of photogrammetry and remote sensing is illustrated by software demonstrations and real-life examples.

Registration and Abstract submission
Workshop site
The workshop will be held at the Leibniz Universitat Hannover. Hannover in Northern Germany, formally the residence of the Hanoverian Kings of Great Britain, is today the city of trade fairs and the capital of Lower Saxony with a population of 520.000. Being placed in the centre of Europe, it has excellent travel connections by air, road and rail. In 2000 Hannover was the location for the first world EXPO in Germany. Among other attractions, the Royal Gardens of Herrenhausen, interesting and historic sights, as well as unique events, make Hannover the destination of tourists from all over the world.
