This means that at the 2016 ISPRS Congress in Prague, bids will be solicited for five commissions: The five new ISPRS Commissions are entitled: Commission I         Sensor Systems Commission II        Photogrammetry Commission III       Remote Sensing Commission IV       Spatial Information Science Commission V        Education and Outreach The contents of the Commissions are: Commission I - Sensor Systems Commission I is concerned with the design, construction, characterisation, calibration and use of imaging and non-imaging sensors, sensor systems and sensor networks for photogrammetry, remote sensing and spatial information science, such as air- and space-borne digital cameras and laser scanners, and thermal, hyperspectral and radar sensors. Commission I investigates the different platforms for data acquisition, including (but not restricted to) unmanned aircraft systems, mobile mapping systems, aircrafts, satellites including small satellites, and satellite constellations and cooperates with the related industry. Commission II - Photogrammetry Commission II deals with the theory and application of extracting and analysing spatio-temporal information of objects from terrestrial, aerial and satellite images, image sequences and point clouds using approaches from photogrammetry, image analysis, computer vision and machine learning, with emphasis on accurate and reliable geometric information. Applications comprise of…
