Invitation to participate in the ISPRS Geospatial Week 2019
10-14 June 2019 in Enschede, the Netherlands
by George Vosselman
Geospatial Week Director

It is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the Geospatial Week 2019, which will take place at the campus of the University of Twente in Enschede, the Netherlands from 10 to 14 June 2019.
Over 30 working groups have expressed their interest to jointly convene their workshops at the Geospatial Week 2019. As a result, we are proud to host the following 13 workshops:

• International Conference on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Geomatics (UAV-g)
• Laser Scanning
• International Symposium on Spatial Data Quality (ISSDQ)
• Indoor 3D
• Advanced Geospatial Applications for Smart Cities and Regions (SmartGeoApps)
• Semantic Scene Analysis and 3D Reconstruction from Images and Image Sequences (Semantics3D)
• International Workshop on Advances in SAR: Constellations, Signal processing, and Applications (SarCon)
• Workshop on Collaborative Crowdsourced Cloud Mapping and Geospatial Big Data (C3M&GBD)
• Joint European Calibration and Orientation Workshop and Workshop on Multi-sensor Systems for 3D Mapping and Navigation (EuroCOW-M3DMaN)
• Hyperspectral Sensing meets Machine Learning and Pattern Analysis (HyperMLPA)
• International Workshop on Image and Data Fusion (IWIDF)
• Workshop on Planetary Remote Sensing and Mapping (PRSM)
• Workshop on Cryosphere and Hydrosphere for Global Change Studies (CHGCS)

Many of these workshops are the next edition in well-established series of workshops convened in the past. The workshops will provide excellent opportunities to present and discuss the latest developments in the ISPRS fields of sensors, photogrammetry, remote sensing, and spatial information sciences.

The venue of the Geospatial Week will be the heart of the green campus of the University of Twente. Next to large modern lecture rooms and ample space for the exhibition and poster sessions inside the building, the direct environment also offers great possibilities for demonstrations of outdoor mapping systems, including UAV flights on a nearby field.

Participants will be able to register for any number of days and join any of the workshops offered on those days. Registration and paper submission will both be handled through ConfTool, which has now been adopted as the standard for all ISPRS events. Next to the programme booklet, we will also offer the conference app Conference4me to access the whole Geospatial Week programme on your phone.

For further information on the dates and terms of references of the workshops, paper submission, registration, travel, and accommodation, please check http://www.gsw2019.org/.

Message from the Secretary General

2018 is the year of ISPRS Symposia. One can say that it is a year of reviewing ISPRS members - of their results and preliminary results. The first two Symposia were held in spring - TC III in Beijing in May, and TC II in Riva del Garda in June.

TC III Symposium had the highest number of participants of all ISPRS Symposia ever. The careful preparation from Jie Jiang, TC III President, and Ahmed Shaker, TC III Vice President, was highly appreciated not only by Council, but by the many participants. The older generation would remember the venue from the 2008 Congress, situated close to the Olympic Park in Beijing - the Bird Nest Stadium and other sport venues in the park.

The following symposium was organised by TC II - Fabio Remondino, President, and Takashi Fuse, Vice President. Photogrammetry always attracts many participants. This year was not an exception. The beautiful venue alongside the northern part of the Lago di Garda lake, at the foot of the Italian Alps, created an excellent setting for the meeting.

However, ISPRS has not quite reached the zenith of its Symposia year. We still have three planned for autumn.

The first in line will be that of Technical Commission IV - Spatial Information Science. The Commission President, Sisi Zlatanova, Vice-President, Suzana Dragicevic and Secretary, George Sithole, will host us at TU Delft, from October 1 - 5.

Spatial information science has been growing incredibly quickly all over the world thanks to the amazingly high number of users. A lot of these users support the many producers of wide software types to create new Apps. Many of them use geolocation, crowd processing and an array of other tools which are analysed by ISPRS members. I believe that ISPRS will play an important role in the basic research of this vast area, the area of spatial information science. Therefore I would like to encourage not only authors whose submissions were accepted to the Symposium programme to attend, but also those who would like to enlarge their knowledge, find new ideas and topics from presentations and from discussions during coffee breaks and the social events of the Symposium.

Delft is a pretty fairy tale city, with its historical houses and narrow channels, made famous by the local painter, Vermeer.

Technical Commission I - Sensor Systems - invites you to Karlsruhe to its Symposium (9 - 12 October) just the week after the TC IV Symposium. The TC I President, Stefan Hinz, Vice-President, Raul Feitosa, and Secretary Boris Jutzi have been working to prepare an interesting meeting for “technologically” oriented scientists and users. Looking at the rapid development of the technological equipment used for our data collection and processing during the last few years, one wonders what will be presented in two years (the ISPRS 2020 Congress year), in six years, or in 20 years. I am not sure you will find the answers at the Symposium, but I am sure you will get a great overview of the present state, and of the scientific research behind it all.

The Symposium takes place in a beautiful German city built on a “green meadow” surrounding a castle constructed in 1715, which makes it exceptional in the world. The photo at the Symposium web site is attractive, isn’t it?

The final Symposium is that of Technical Commission V organised by the President, A. Senthil Kumar, Vice-President P.L.N. Raju, and Secretary, S.P. Aggarwal. Education and Outreach, the name of the Commission, should accompany us throughout our lives. Schools and universities open doors to our lives, to our understanding of ourselves, to literature, history, … and the Earth which is the only place we can live, at least up to now. I am looking forward to news on efficient ways for education and of sharing knowledge, and…. it is like a symbol for ISPRS and its Symposia - to have the education Symposium last. It can be interpreted as an overview and recommendation on how to enlarge the community of our science, how to improve our teaching, and how to help the younger generation embrace our message for a better and safer future for all of us.

Held in Dehradun in India, a pretty city at the bottom of Himalayas with a more than 2000-year old history, the Symposium, from November 20 - 23, will host not only scientific sessions, but also a very interesting IPAC session with top speakers from all over the world.

Hyper-urbanisation boosts mobile mapping market growth

The global mobile mapping market is estimated to grow with 21,3% per year to reach a stunning $39.8 billion by 2022. Substantial growth can be expected in North America and Europe, but the Asia-Pacific region will grow the fastest of all, due to the hyper-urbanisation that is currently underway across the region. Industry specialist Geomares has analysed their user data and behaviour and found a stunning increase of 250% in mobile mapping enquiries. The number of mobile mapping systems on their online product platform Geo-matching has grown with a stunning 325% in the last three years. On top of that, their latest GIM International readers survey indicated that 20% of geospatial companies is expecting to plan on investing in mobile mapping systems. Mobile mapping technology is on the rise worldwide and offers lots of opportunities for companies in both the geospatial- and related industries!

ISC - International Science Council created as the Result of a Merger between the International Council for Science (ICSU) and the International Social Science Council (ISSC)

In a historic meeting, the International Council for Science (ICSU) and the International Social Science Council (ISSC) merged to form the International Science Council, a unique global non-governmental organization representative of both the natural and social sciences. The meeting held in Paris, on 4 July 2018, opened with addresses from Catherine Brechignac, Secretaire Perpetuel of the French Academy of Sciences, and Prince Albert II. of Monaco. In her speech, Brechignac, who is a former President of ICSU, emphasised that the “natural sciences should no longer dictate the Earth system sciences research agenda, social sciences should be at least as important.”
