The
theme of the conference is Visualising
the World: From the Sea-bed to the Cloud-tops.
In recent years the volume and diversity
of imagery acquired by satellite, airborne,
ground and ship-based sensors has grown
enormously, and the number of application
domains in which the images are used has
similarly multiplied. At the same time,
digital mapping tools such as Google Earth,
and the media use of images, after natural
disasters for example, have brought remotely
sensed imagery into the public domain as
never before. But how can we best communicate
the results derived from imagery, or from
integrating images with other spatial data?
How can we use these data to depict the
world of today, as well as predict how it
might change in the future? How can the
world invisible to our eyes be made visible?
