Geospatial Week 2023, Cairo, Egypt

Advanced Data Preparation and Data Management for Geospatial and Remote Sensing Scenarios

Joint workshop of ISPRS WG IV/4 “Data Management for Spatial Scenarios” and ICWG III/IVb “Remote Sensing Data Quality”

Today’s geospatial and remote sensing scenarios usually require the fusion of geometric, topological, and semantic data from a broad range of sources such as IoT and UAV sensors, mobile devices, BIM, GIS, digital twins, traffic simulations, and Smart Cites. Existing methods for preparation, modelling, and management of these data often cause a significant burden in data analysis processes. It is widely recognized that new advances in geospatial data preparation and management can accelerate the production of analysis-ready data and unlock the power of geospatial analytics. This workshop provides a platform to discuss new ways and best practices to prepare, model, and manage multi-dimensional geospatial and remote sensing data for static and (near) real-time applications. Contributions from academia and industry demonstrating innovative methods and tools, practical approaches, or research in progress are all welcome. The workshop will be part of the ISPRS Geospatial Week 2023, hosted by the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport, in parallel with a number of related workshops. The event is a one-day single-track workshop of oral presentations and poster/networking sessions in the context of the ISPRS Geospatial Week 2023.
