Workshop Objectives
This meeting intends to bring together the world experts, both from public and private sectors, to present and discuss the recent findings and developments on Sensor Calibration and Orientation. EuroCOW 2008 will be a highly specialized small forum to facilitate the circulation of useful and new information.
The organizers, aware of the current high competitiveness
in the area, are trying to set the conditions for a useful, informative
and informal three-day meeting in a relaxed atmosphere, and expect to
attract the real experts with hands-on experience on the subject.
The workshop is organized by the Institute of Geomatics, on behalf
of the EuroSDR (European Spatial Data Research) Commission
I and the ISPRS (International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote
Sensing) Working Groups 3 and 4 of Commission I, and Intercommission Working
Group 1 of Commission V.
