ISPRS WG V / 3
Terrestrial Laserscanning

Call for Participation

Dear Colleague,

Welcome to WG V/3!

We are writing to you to formally welcome you to Working Group V/3 Terrestrial Laserscanning of the ISPRS for 2004-2008.

The WG Chairpersons are Norbert Pfeifer (AUT) and Derek Lichti (AUS). The Secretary is Marco Scaioni (ITA) and Kwang-Ho Bae (AUS) is responsible for the WG website (http://www.commission5.isprs.org/wg3/)

The Terms of Reference for the WG are as follows:

• Automated techniques for sensor orientation, including practical evaluation of registration algorithms.
• Scene classification and feature extraction (in collaboration with WG III/3 - Vosselman/Brenner).
• Integration with other data sources, particularly imagery for texture mapping, and other sensors for observing exterior orientation elements.
• Modelling of systematic error sources and development of calibration procedures.
• Modelling laser scanner measurement processes internal and external to the instrument.
• Practical application of terrestrial laser scanners for engineering, cultural heritage recording, forestry and other applications.
• Collaboration with FIG Task Force 6.1.5 'Terrestrial Laser Scanning for Deformation Monitoring'.

The next major event for the working group is the ISPRS Workshop on Laser Scanning 2007 and SilviLaser 2007, which is to be held in Espoo, Finland m September 12-14, 2007. See laserscanning2007@foto.hut.fi for the Call for Papers and all other details.
