13th International conference on Geoinformatics

Theme: Coping with Disasters across Continents

Conference Topics

The conference theme, “Coping with Disasters across Continents”, encourages divisive topics related to developing geospatial data solutions and technologies to facilitate various decision-making processes and geospatially enabled operations prior to, during and post natural and human disasters on local, national or global scales. The conference therefore opens to all aspects of geoinformatics relevant to critical infrastructure protection and emergency/disaster management, especially in the following areas:

 

¨ Web-based geospatial data and GIS services

¨ Location based services (LBS)

¨ Multi-dimensional (2D, 3D, and 4D) spatial data modeling and data quality

¨ Spatial decision support and spatial workflows

¨ Automated object extraction and database updates from imagery

¨ Integrated multi-sensor navigation systems

¨ LIDAR and IFSAR for DEM generation and 3D modeling

¨ Spatial data fusion and integration algorithms

¨ Terrestrial LIDAR and industry metrology

¨ Indoor Navigation

¨ GNSS interoperability, software and algorithms

¨ Integration of environmental modeling and GIS

¨ Wireless GIS solutions for disaster management

¨ Geospatial solutions for emergency preparedness and response

¨ Remote sensing for disaster monitoring, mitigation and assessment

¨ Data and systems interoperability for handling emergencies

¨ Visualization of emergency scenes and situations

 

In addition to regular panel sessions, technical sessions, and exhibitions, this conference will foster two special programs for participating students:

 

¨ Student Paper Awards and Travel Grants: aim to encourage student participation and publication of their research results (pending for the approval from CPGIS and CPGPS).

¨ Thesis Research Forum: provides a dedicated session for graduate students to present their thesis related research results.
