Conference Scope:
- The international conference and workshops entitled GEOBIA, 2008 - Pixels, Objects, Intelligence: Geographic Object Based Image Analysis for the 21St Century was held at the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada August, 6-7, 2008, with an icebreaker on the evening of August 5, and workshops scheduled for Aug 5 & 8. The conference program was based on concurrent oral & poster sessions covering a range of topics from theory and methods to applications. A special session was also developed titled 'GEOBIA in Support of Government of Canada Needs'. Invited keynote speakers further highlighted key issues and challenges. GEOBIA, 2008 was co-organized in partnership with the Canadian Space Agency, the ASPRS and the ISPRS.Conference proceedings will be linked with ISPRS Working Group IV/4 to provide literary/scientific standards and online access. A GEOBIA special issue of Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing (PE&RS) will be published in 2009.
- A key objective of this event was to facilitate a forum for this growing international community of practice from which we can better share in the latest developments of GEOBIA theory, methods, and applications so as to more intelligently exploit remote sensing imagery. Our theme - 'Pixels, Image-objects, Intelligence: Geo-Object Based Image Analysis for the 21st Century' - was intended to highlight this objective, and the evolution of this discipline.
- We invite you to help build this discipline by contributing your comments, expertise and experience to the new GEOBIA Wiki.
