ISPRS WG V/8 Special Session in ACRS 2017 Open Source Open World October 23 -27, 2017 New Delhi, India www.acrs2017.org About ACRS 2017 The 38th Asian Conference on Remote Sensing ( ACRS 2017 ) will take place during October 23 -27, 2017 , New Delhi, India. ACRS 2017 will represent a major event in the long series of successful ACRS conferences. The main theme of the conference is Space Applications: Touching Human Lives. ACRS 2017 will bring together students, researchers, scientists, engineers, policy makers, professionals and practitioners from developed and developing countries from and around Asia to share insights into the challenges and opportunities of Remote Sensing and related geospatial technologies in building resiliency and encouraging inclusive economic growth in one, dynamic Asia. It also aims to be a platform for international engagement to ensure that knowledge is generated in partnership with society. About ISPRS WG V/8 ISPRS Working Group V/8 aims to promote open source and the development of free software on geospatial technologies, mainly in the fields of photogrammetry, remote sensing, and GIS. To facilitate this, the WG organizes joint sessions , tutorials and webinars to promote and exchange the experiences of open source development. The WG will collaborate closely with OSGeo and other ISPRS working groups, and will cooperate with other local and international groups to promote and contribute to open source. The promotion of open source can provide us free software and make accessible the latest geospatial technologies to the wider ISPRS community. Call for Abstracts We invite you to submit an abstract to share your open source, free software/system, and knowledge to the special session covering the following topics: * Open Sources on Geospatial Technology (Emerging technologies that have an impact on future geospatial development) -- Internet of things -- Big data -- Drones -- Machine learning -- Photogrammetry and remote sensing -- Geographic information science -- Airborne/Terrestrial LiDAR * Applications using Open Sources (How free geospatial tools/software are used within the sciences and engineering) -- Remote sensing and environment -- Agriculture and forestry -- Natural hazards mitigation and management -- Public health -- Data science * Education (How free geospatial tools/software are used and taught in academic courses) -- Active learning models -- Cross-border education through web-resources sharing -- Tools development for training and outreach Abstract Submission Abstract must be submitted online through the abstract submission system at www.acrs2017.org .
