International LiDAR Mapping Forum Launches Call for Papers

The eleventh International LiDAR Mapping Forum is now accepting abstract submissions for its three day technical conference. ILMF 2011 will be held in New Orleans on February 7-9, 2011 and will welcome speakers from the international LIDAR community who will report on latest technology advances and recent projects, highlighting actual experiences and lessons learned.

Authors wishing to submit a paper for the conference are requested to submit an abstract of no more than 250 words - see EDITOR's CHOICE below.

The following topics should act as a guideline:

Data Acquisition - Airborne LIDAR
 Acquisition systems, imagery and complementary sensors and best practices; urban, rural, transmission line scanning; pipeline mapping

Data Acquisition - Bathymetric LIDAR
 Acquisition and imaging systems and best practices for the flood plain and coastal bathymetry sectors

Data Acquisition - Emergency Response
 Fault detection for geologic surveys; pre- and post earthquake mapping; quantifying and analyzing volcanic ash clouds

Data Fusion & Processing Technologies
 Geospatial data capture, processing, analysis, management, archiving and retrieval; improving operational excellence; processing mobile imagery; quality control analysis

Developments in GIS & Data Modeling
