Important Dates

_______________

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Automatic registration or other geometric aspects of fusion with images from different spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions, or acquisition modes
• Pixel-, feature- and decision-level fusion algorithms and methodologies
• Multi-source classification and information extraction
• Integration of images and products from satellite, airborne, and terrestrial sensor systems, as well as in-situ measurements
• Change detection and dynamic analysis based on remote sensing images
• Image and data mining from multi-platform, multi-source, multi-scale, multi-temporal data sets (e.g. geometric information, topological information, statistical information, etc.)
• Data fusion applications in the fields of mapping and monitoring natural resources, natural hazards, and environmental security
• High performance computing techniques in remote sensing data fusion
• Others

Special Session

Characterization of volcanic hazards through image and data fusion

This special session invites innovative image and data fusion methods and applications on characterizing various aspects of volcanic hazards, including ground surface deformation and topographic change mapping, lava and pyroclastic flow mapping, thermal anomaly mapping,  and volcanic gas and ash mapping, etc.
