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 by visiting www.lidarmap.org/conference/submit_papers.aspx
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
