Remote sensing technology has enhanced monitoring and management of natural resources over time and space. Data from Earth Observations (EO) has been used in variety of applications.

Advances expand the products that can be generated from EO data, which is particularly important for 3D modeling and mapping. Derived data and products are used to benefit the society in a wide range of activities as disaster monitoring and management, community services, urban planning etc.

Sharing best practices in application of the advanced geospatial technologies is one of the goals of the session, as well as the discussions on the leading trends, results from specific case studies and difficulties throughout the work process.

The papers for the session should be focused on some of the following topics:

• Surveying and Geomatics
• Remote Sensing Technologies and Applications
• Image Processing and Pattern Recognition for Remote Sensing
• LiDAR and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Observations
• Photogrammetry
• Radar Remote Sensing
• Sensors and Next-generation Satellites
• Copernicus Service Applications (Land Monitoring, Urban Planning, Water Management, Marine Monitoring etc.)
• Big Data: Analysis and Visualization

Planned output:

The conference papers can be published in:

Peer-reviewed book in Springer series on Key Challenges in Geography

Special Issues of: European Journal of Geography, Journal of Bulgarian Geographical Society, or Journal Problems of Geography

Looking forward to welcoming your contribution to this session!
