3D Digital Landscape Models - From 2D cartographic to 3D topographic data
11th to 12th March, 2010
Dublin, Ireland
The generation of 3D landscape models (DLM) is an issue for national mapping agencies (NMA). This workshop will address how best to proceed from actual data to a DLM and assess the state of play in research and NMAs.
For further information and Registration details, visit the workshop Website EduServ8 (pre-course seminar)
22nd to 23rd April, 2010 - CHANGED DATES
Leuven, Belgium
The eighth series of EuroSDR elearning courses will begin with a two-day seminar at which course participants can meet other participants, avail of direct contact with course tutors, hear background presentations and receive the course material. On return home, they can follow the courses online via elearning over a period of two weeks per course.
EduServ8 courses offered in 2010 are:
1. Schema matching, mapping and transformations for INSPIRE
2. The INSPIRE Directive and its Implementing Rules. How to understand and apply them
3. Laserscanning for tree extraction
4. Assessment of the quality of Digital Terrain Models

8th to 9th September 2010
Bern, Switzerland
Based on the promising result of the first EuroSDR Workshop on Crowd Sourcing for Updating National Databases, held at the Federal Office of Topography (swisstopo), Wabern, Switzerland on August 20-21, 2009, we invite you to participate in this follow up symposium.
The symposium aims at strengthening the collaboration of the (National) Mapping and Cadastral Agencies (NMCA), the research communities and companies in the field of user generated content, which is identified as an important and valuable input in map or GEOdata updating procedures, contents generation and interactions with the users. The symposium should help overcome the lack of experience, knowledge of interaction schemes, of techniques, of legal aspects and of production process integration aspects. The symposium topics are focussed on volunteered GEOdata aspects (not vernacular geography or data mining topics).
Symposium Topics:
This symposium will include paper presentations and panel discussions with the focus on the scientific, technical, operational and legal aspects of Crowd Sourcing of GEOinformation for NMCA's:
Crowd sourcing for NMCA's and geoportals o state of the art, solutions, projects and objectives
-----experiences on communal, district, national, international scale
-----applications, software and hardware
Interaction with the crowds
-----identification of crowds and community building
-----care, motivation, incentives, rewards
Quality of crowd sourced GEOdata
-----standards
-----validation and controlling
-----data matching, integration, differential updates
-----legal aspects

3rd to 4th November 2010
Berlin, Germany
Jointly organised by EuroSDR, ISPRS WG IV/8, DGPF, and Berlin University of Technology, 3D GeoInfo 2010 aims at bringing together international state-of-the-art research and facilitating the dialogue on emerging topics in the field of 3D geo-information.
In recent years, research has focused on improving 3D data acquisition technology through remote sensing, photogrammetry, laser altimetry techniques (LiDAR), and visualization technology (3D CAD and Virtual Reality (VR) system) for 3D urban environments.
However, researchers still face many challenges today regarding the development of suitable data models representing topological relationships among 3D spatial objects in built environments.
