ISPRS WG II/10

3D Mapping for Environmental & Infrastructure Monitoring

Our Mission

ISPRS Working Group II/10 aims at promoting research on and applications of 3D mapping for environmental and infrastructural monitoring. In addition 3D biomedical applications will be covered. In this way we directly contribute to the ISPRS 2016-2020 commitment to reach the full potential of information extraction from in our case 3D imagery and scan data “through research and development, scientific networking, international co-operation, inter-disciplinary integration and education and training”

To reach these goals the WG will organize workshops, notably the bi-annual ISPRS Laser Scanning workshop, and the bi-annual ISPRS workshop on Photogrammetric techniques for video surveillance, biometrics, and biomedicine. In addition the WG will link and contribute to related workshops and sessions organized by sister organizations, including the EGU, IAG and FIG, on notably close and near- range deformation analysis and geo-environmental mapping. For educating the new generation scientists, the WG will aim at establishing a bi-annual Summer School on Close Range Sensing Techniques in Alpine Terrain. Clearly these activities will be performed in close cooperation with other WGs in- and out-side Commission II.

Existing and new contacts with industry and governmental organizations will be exploited to contribute to standards, and realize best practices on 3D change detection and monitoring for environmental, infrastructural and biomedical applications in cooperation with the different stakeholders.
