International Workshop on Virtual Changing Globe for Visualisation and Analysis (VCGVA 2009)
October 27-28, 2009
Wuhan, China
http://www.lmars.whu.edu.cn/vcgva2009/index.html
Purpose and Scope
The term virtual globe is being used frequently to refer to a virtual and digital global environment enabled by advanced information technologies. It is capable of letting users freely fly anywhere on a virtual Earth, with different views of Earth such as satellite imagery, geographical features, terrain, 3D buildings, and advanced stars, atmosphere or sunlight effects. More specifically, it allows users to fuse heterogeneous geospatial data from multiple sources, conduct network-based local-to-global multi-resolution visualization, and share data with others. The wide popularity of virtual globe software such as Google Earth and Microsoft Virtual Earth in the geospatial and general communities inspires more ways of exploring and using virtual globes. Context-aware visualization and analysis is a particularly important part of these activities, as it can continuously fit the current user¡¯s situation or operating environment. When combined with 2D and 3D geospatial Web services, virtual globes can support data analysis, information extraction and even knowledge discovery. Processing of multi-temporal images and change detection has been an active research and application field in remote sensing for decades. The wider availability of large archives of historical images at a global scale makes it also possible for long-term change detection and modeling in a virtual globe platform.
VCGVA 2009 aims at providing a timely forum for the exchange of state-of-the-art research results in the areas of virtual globes, context-aware visualisation/analysis and change detection and process modelling. This workshop will bring together researchers to address such issues as:

VCGVA 2009 aims at providing a timely forum for the exchange of state-of-the-art research results in the areas of virtual globes, context-aware visualisation/analysis and change detection and process modelling. This workshop will bring together researchers to address such issues as:
- Assessment of remote sensing data for generating and visualizing landscape and models
- Database generation for digital topographic and thematic mapping (including orthoimages and digital terrain models)
- Integration of multi-source and multi-scale data in local and regional landscape modelling and visualization applications
- Analysis of characteristics of multi-temporal data for extraction of attribute information
- Methodologies of computer assisted interpretation and analysis of multi-temporal data
- Temporal pattern recognition and time series analysis and modeling
- Methodologies for global monitoring, modeling and prediction
- Methodologies for extracting essential climate variables from long-term satellite observations
- Application and assessment of advanced visualization, virtual reality and multimedia methods for 2-D, 3-D and 4-D mapping tasks in stand-alone, mobile or web-based environments
- Use of virtual globes for geospatial data integration, visualization and analysis
- Assessment of context-aware visualization and analysis of image data and geodatabases
Paper Submissions
Full papers should be prepared according to the Guidelines for Authors Preparing Manuscripts for ISPRS Sponsored Meeting (http://www.isprs.org/documents/orangebook/app5.html
). Authors are requested to follow the Manual for Presentation
of Technical Papers at ISPRS Congress and Symposium (http://www.isprs.org/documents/orangebook/app6.html).
