  • New Highlights at STAP19

    Three invited speakers are now joining the compact course and workshop STAP19 on Spatial and Temporal Analysis of Geographic Phenomena organized by the 3DGeo and FCGL at IWR in Heidelberg. Dr. Gottfried Mandlburger (Institute for Photogrammetry, University of Stuttgart) will give a talk on methods of feature and information extraction from geographic 3D point clouds.…

  • Machine Learning for Space and Earth Observation Data (ML-SEOD) 2019 at ICCSA

    Machine Learning for Space and Earth Observation Data (ML-SEOD) 2019 Call for Papers The Earth and Space environments are being monitored by an unprecedented amount of sensors: Earth observation satellites, sensor networks, telescopes working in different wavelengths, human records of Earth and Space events, etc. This generates a huge amount of raw data that must…

  • Reminder: VGI ALIVE Special Issue of ISPRS IJGI extended to 15 March 2019

    we want to remind you about the extended submission deadline (15 March 2019) for the Special Issue “Volunteered Geographic Information: Analysis, Integration, Vision, Engagement (VGI-ALIVE)”of the ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information (IJGI) The steady rise of data volume shared on already-established and new Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) and social media platforms calls for advanced analysis…

  • STAP19 Compact Course and Workshop in April – Registration Open

    From 01-04 April 2019, the 3DGeo and FCGL research groups are organizing a compact course and workshop on Spatial and Temporal Analysis of Geographic Phenomena (STAP19) at the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR, Heidelberg University). The course will teach participants state-of-the-art methods of 3D spatial data processing and analysis with a focus on spatial…

  • CFP: AGILE workshop “GeoCultGIS – GEOgraphical and CULTural aspects of Geo-data: Issues and Solutions”

    Our workshop “GeoCultGIS – GEOgraphical and CULTural aspects of Geo-data: Issues and Solutions” has been accepted for the 22nd AGILE Conference on Geo-information Science, the annual conference of the Association of Geographic Information Laboratories in Europe (AGILE). The event will be held in Limassol, Cyprus on 17-20 June, 2019. Workshop theme: While some geo-datasets offer…

  • Deadline extended to July 25: PLATIAL 2018, Heidelberg University

    Because of several requests the deadline for short papers has been extended to Wed. July 25 2018. The recent availability of user-generated geographic datasets allows gaining novel insights into otherwise hardly observable societal phenomena. Geosocial media forms one important source of user-generated information, which partly describes the everyday lives of people. The analysis of these…

    If you are in Lund, Sweden today you might consider joining our VGI-ALIVE Workshop at AGILE Conference 2018. The latest programme can be found here. It includes keynotes by Andrea Ballatore and Stefano Dea Sabata and a range of interesting contributions, including Enhancing Crowdsourced Classification on Human Settlements Utilizing Logistic Regression Aggregation and Intrinsic Context…

  • PLATIAL’18 Workshop in September

    The recent availability of user-generated geographic datasets allows gaining novel insights into otherwise hardly observable societal phenomena. Geosocial media forms one important source of user-generated information, which partly describes the everyday lives of people. The analysis of these kinds of data, however, requires new approaches. Geosocial media data—like those extracted from Twitter, Flickr, Instagram, and…

  • Identifying the Effects of Mobility Domains on Volunteered Geographical Information: Towards an Analytical Approach

    The production of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) is a type of human behavior which emerges via direct and indirect interactions with the physical environments described by these data. The nature of these interactions and the extent to which they rely on physical presence in the mapped area may affect the quality of the resulting digital…

  • Enhancing Crowdsourced Classification on Human Settlements Utilizing Logistic Regression Aggregation and Intrinsic Context Factors

    Among semi-automated methods and pre-processed data products, crowdsourcing is another tool which can help to collect information on human settlements and complement existing data, yet it’s accuracy is debated. Whereas the potential of crowdsourced datasets for training of machine learning algorithms has been explored recently, only few work has been done towards utilizing machine learning…
