3D GeoInfo 2020

** Note that due to the current situation with COVID-19 this conference will now be held online/virtually.  Please go to 3DGeoInfo2020 for more information **

 

University College London and the Ordnance Survey are pleased to invite you to submit abstracts and full papers for VIRTUAL presentation at 3D GeoInfo 2020, which will be hosted at University College London (London, UK) from the 8th to the 11th September 2020.  

The conference brings together  international researchers from academia, industry, government and National Mapping and Cadastral Agencies in the field of 3D geoinformation,and provides an interdisciplinary forum to researchers in the fields of data collection, data management, data quality, data analysis,advanced modelling approaches, applications, users, and visualisation, providing a platform for learning, discussion and exchange of ideas as well as opportunities to promote international collaboration in these topics. 

 

 

 

Topics, Tracks and Workshops

Contributions addressing (but not limited to) the topics listed below are welcome.  

• 3D data acquisition and processing
• 3D city modelling and related standards
• Visualisation and dissemination of 3D data, including augmented and virtual reality
• 3D data management - data quality, metadata, provenance and trust
• Usability and Human Computer interaction in 3D GIS
• 3D generalisation
• 3D GIS, spatial analysis and other applications (such as cadastral systems, utilities, asset management, infrastructure, navigation, urban planning, geology, disaster and risk management, archaeology, marine systems, simulations, autonomous vehicles, facilities management, energy modelling)
• 3D and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning
• 3D mapping aided (3DMA) GNSS
• Digital Twins and Smart Cities
• 4D/5D City Modelling

As part of the conference we will also be hosting a number of pre-conference workshops and dedicated conference tracks, including (more to be announced later):

1. A Users and Use Cases track, which will include papers from practitioners in fields such as  Planning, Environment, Construction, Asset Management, Energy Management and others.  We are interested in:

• Making the case for 3D (from the workflow and also from the financial perspective)
• Initiatives and work in progress
• Learning about the problems with 3D from your perspective
• Learning more about how 3D can be integrated into your world

2. A pre-conference workshop on BIM/GIS Integration (see here: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/3dgeoinfo/bim-gis-integration-workshop)

3. A special EuroSDR session aimed at National Mapping and Cadastral Agencies.  For this track, we are particularly interested in work carried out by or in collaboration with National Mapping and Cadastral Agenices, or work that may be of interest to NMCAs.   This could include - but is not limited to: 

• Topographic data and derivation of 3D models. workflows, processes and tools
• Enrichment and refinement of 3D topographic data to obtain 3D models with more elements than buildings, for example bridges, tunnels, roads, channels, waterbodies, vegetation, etc.
• Relationship between 3D topographic data and 2D cadastral data, 3D cadastral systems
• Generalization of 3D models
• Relationship between 3D models and urban sustainability applications
• Automatic detection of changes in urban environment
• Usability of 3D data and 3D models, including methods to obtain feedback from the users and to exchange information with them
• How to assess the quality of 3D models
• High definition 3D mapping
• Combining multiple point clouds from different sources
• Funding models for 3D data capture and maintenance (e.g. at national scale)
• National specifications for 3D models

  

** Papers may be swapped between sessions as necessary

 Submission and Publication

We invite authors to submit papers describing original scientific research and applications. 

** To ensure publication at least one author of each paper accepted for publication in the ISPRS Archives or the ISPRS Annals must register by the 15th July 2020.  One registration can be associated with a maximum of 2 papers.  To ensure inclusion in the conference programme, at least one author of a submitted standalone presentation must register by the 1st August 2020.  One registration can be associated with a maximum of 1 standalone presentation. **

Full papers, to be published in the ISPRS Annals. The submitted papers should report new or improved techniques, algorithms, benchmarks, technology developments, frameworks, and best practices, which are not published elsewhere. Papers will be evaluated on their originality, novelty, and impact and will be subjected to a double-blind review. 

• Anonymize your submission
• Use the ISPRS template: https://www.isprs.org/documents/orangebook/app5.aspx
• Papers not accepted for the ISPRS Annals may be considered for the ISPRS Archives

Long abstracts (1000-1500 words).    The submitted (extended) abstracts can be new or improved techniques, algorithms, benchmarks, technology developments, frameworks, and best practices, which are not published elsewhere, but they can also relate to professional/demo papers demonstrating innovative systems and practical approaches, or research in progress. Long abstracts will be subjected to a double-blind review. The abstracts on their own will not be published. If your abstract is accepted, it must then be extended into a full length paper for publication in the ISPRS Archives.

• Upload an anonymized PDF
• Use the ISPRS template: https://www.isprs.org/documents/orangebook/app5.aspx (you can use the title, leywords and abstract sections only if you like)
• If your abstract is accepted you will need to extend it for publication, using the  full ISPRS template: https://www.isprs.org/documents/orangebook/app5.aspx
• Abstracts not accepted for the ISPRS Archives may be considered for stand-alone presentations

Stand-alone presentations (500-1000 words) can be accepted based on a submitted abstract that explains the content of the presentation.  These should focus on demonstrations and practical approaches not suitable for publication in journal format, and can also be used to describe the practitioner perspective on 3D if practitioners do not wish to write a full journal article.  These abstracts will not be published by ISPRS, but will be available via the conference website.

• Upload a PDF 
• Use the ISPRS template: https://www.isprs.org/documents/orangebook/app5.aspx (you can use the title, leywords and abstract sections only if you like)
• No anonymization required
