The Symposium will bring together researchers, professionals, managers and decision makers to discuss the issues and latest trends and developments in remote sensing methodology. Each of the eight working groups of the Commission will be organising special sessions, with keynote speakers and speakers from around the world who will come to ITC at that time. There will be workshops, tutorials, PhD master classes for young researchers, and other scientific, technical and social events.
The main topics covered by the Symposium are:
- Fundamental physics and modelling
- Information extraction from SAR data
- Information extraction from hyperspectral data
- Advanced classification techniques
- Processing of multi-temporal data and change detection
- Remote sensing data fusion
- Innovative problem-solving methodologies for less developed countries
- Derivation of global data, environmental change, and sustainable indicators.
