International workshop on remote sensing monitoring for the urban environment - RSMUE2022

Aims and scope:

Urban remote sensing provides images with multiple spatio-temporal-spectral attributes, which can provide qualitative, quantitative, dynamic, and comprehensive information and support for urban environmental monitoring and evaluation, and serve urban planning and management, and ecological environment protection. In recent decades, global urban areas have rapidly expanded, especially in developing countries. Rapid urbanization, along with manufacturing industries and large number of vehicles has resulted in serious environmental problems, called urban diseases, including increased vulnerability to natural hazards, natural vegetation cover decline and arable land loss, urban heat islands, air pollution, hydrological circle alteration and biotic homogenization. Urban ecosystems are strongly influenced by anthropogenic activities. Experts and scholars, researchers, and development personnel as well as companies from home and abroad will be invited to participate in the conference. Figure 2 shows the key days for the workshop.

Workshop Topics:

The workshop is aimed at reporting novel studies on exploiting remote sensing big data to monitor and improve the urban environment, and showing the potential of remote sensing in developing sustainable cities, including but not limited to:

• Urban thermal-environment remote sensing
• Remote sensing image acquisition and processing for the urban environment
• Remote sensing dynamic monitoring of urban expansion
• Remote sensing change detection of urbanization
• Remote sensing retrieval of urban ecological environment
• Remote sensing evaluation of urban human settlements
• Urban sustainability indicators and assessment
• Urban environmental monitoring

ISPRS TC II Symposium – USA (fall / spring)

Aims and scope:

The event of the Photogrammetry Commission focuses, at various scales, on geometric, radiometric, and multi-temporal aspects of image- and range-based 3D surveying and modeling.

WG8 sessions at the Symposium

• Regular session
• Environmental monitoring in the World's most important mountain ranges
• Urban environmental monitoring for anthropogenic activity mitigation

B- Tile:

Geomatics in Environmental Monitoring – GEM24

Aims and scope:

Climate change affects human societies, economies, and the natural environment. It will increasingly become a challenge in terms of water quantity and quality, as raising temperature on the planet will increase evaporation of water contained in soils and water bodies. This may increase the planet's vulnerability as natural disasters are becoming more and more frequent. Remote sensing/photogrammetric methods enable data analysis from a different perspective and offer a potentially rapid, useful, and complementary research tool for deriving metrics information over space and time at various scales. The developments in concept and algorithmic design supported by ever-increasing computer power have resulted in dramatic improvements in data processing, and information extraction performance. Clearly, the full exploitation of the state-of-the-art in Geomatics Engineering provides powerful tools to deliver accurate and reliable observations of the Earth’s processes and can give explanations to many complex phenomena. The event will focus on environmental monitoring (natural and urban) using geospatial data and technologies focusing on Latin America and considering the following topics: floods, fires, natural hazards, glaciers, GLOF, emergency management, air quality, agriculture, forestry, volcanoes, ocean, etc. We invite researchers, professionals, educators and students to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends and solutions embraced in the field.

Conference Topics:

• Environmental monitoring in global change assessment
• Land 2D-3D detection, analysis, and error impacts
• Remote sensing and photogrammetry change detection
• Deformation tracking by Geomatics techniques
• Innovation technologies: AI applications
• UAVs mapping for natural management
• Remote sensing in urban environmental quality

Social Media

Social media is changing the world; it has become the new way of communication. Social media has helped many businesses grow and promote themselves and has helped people find a better way to connect and communicate with one another. Currently, the ISPRS communicates its activities in general through its website (https://www.isprs.org/). However, we consider that in this world where communication is a priority, it would be important for ISPRS to open to new digital tools for communication. This would have a positive impact, and we could reach more people who might be interested in what the Society is doing. We propose to extend the boundaries to other social networks such as Instagram, Facebook, Linkedin, and Twitter. In this way, the Society, commissions and working groups could communicate what they are going to do.
