This is a superb opportunity to communicate with the colleagues, which can both demonstrate your new experiment results and solve the problems encountered in the research.
The academic activities will be divided into several parts, such as the main venue, the sub-venue and the commercial exhibitions. The conference will invite experts and scholars who have outstanding contributions in various fields to give oral reports. And there are three topics in the conference, sensors and data acquisition, data processing, and application. Welcome experts, scholars and users from all over the world to attend the meeting. We are looking forward to meeting you in the river city Wuhan.
The main topics and sessions of the conference cover:
- Sensors and Data Acquisition
- Remotely Sensed Data Acquisition
- Airborne Data Acquisition
- Ground Data Acquisition
- Data Processing
- High Resolution Image Processing
- Hyperspectral Image Processing
- Synthetic Aperture Radar Data Processing
- Infrared Image Processing
- Laser Scanning Data Processing
- Application
- Land Application
