A conference entitled Joint urban remote sensing event – JURSE 2011′ will take place on 11 and 13 April 2011 in Munich, Germany. A continuously increasing amount of multiple sensory data offers opportunities to address new questions and solve existing problems more effectively in urban remote sensing. To exploit the full potential these diverse data sources offer, several questions needs to be investigated, for example how to select the best data sets for different applications and how to implement and exploit the algorithms and procedures developed for single sensor data processing. Another important question is how to combine the information derived from these different sensors, for example on which level should the individually processed data been fused.
Urban remote sensing includes a wide array of research topics and disciplines, and is emerging as a truly interdisciplinary field. This event will be structured around diverse special sessions with oral and poster components. Discussion topics will include :
– new data and sensors for urban area remote sensing;
– structure detection and characterisation in urban areas;
– algorithms and techniques for remotely sensed data interpretation in urban areas;
– algorithms and techniques for urban area applications;
– urban climatology, geology, and geohazards;
– applications for social sciences;
– applications for urban planning and conservation;
– urban development and growth patterns;
– urban and peri-urban ecology.
