The Call for Papers invites any interested parties to submit abstracts by the deadline of September 1, 2014 using the online submission form.

Papers in the following topical areas are encouraged:
• Data Acq uisition – Airborne LiDAR
• Data Acquisition – Bathymetric LiDAR
• LiDAR Point Clouds – in Parallel to LiDAR
• Data Fusion and Processing Technologies
• Developments in Data Classification and GIS Modeling
• Industry Issues
• Mobile Mapping and Survey
• Recent Project Examples
• Systems Integration
• Trends in Technology Development
• UAV/UAS
• Other

The ILMF Advisory Board will review each abstract and the final program will be announced in November.

Additional information and the abstract submission form can be accessed HERE.

The success of ILMF 2014, which saw more than 800 professional attendees from 27 countries, proved once again that LiDAR, in its increasing variety of operational formats either alone or when complementing other technologies, is becoming the technology of choice for fast, accurate and quality geospatial data acquisition. Whether supporting highly detailed 3D urban mapping projects, forestry management, or railroad and power transmission line maintenance programs, LiDAR technology delivers the results needed by today’s demanding geospatial and mapping professionals.
