[California] [Fwd: [OSGeo-Discuss] Request for Abstracts: Fall 2009 AGU Session IN18: Open Source Remote Sensing Software and Applications for Earth and Environmental Science]

[Alex Mandel]

I think we wanted to try to do this event with a booth.($1000)
It's kinda pricey but they claim 16,000 attendance.

Abstract submission info for the Open Source session is below, they had
one last year too.

Dear Colleagues and Open Source Remote Sensing practitioners and
developers,

Please consider submitting an abstract for the Fall American Geophysical
Union meeting December 14-18, 2009 in San Francisco:

Session IN18: Open Source Remote Sensing Software and Applications for
Earth and Environmental Science

Please note: abstracts are due online on September 3, 2009.

Abstract:
Satellite and airborne remote sensing imagery is integral to geospatial
research in earth and environmental sciences. The synoptic bird’s eye view
helps us see relationships among landscape elements in their spatial
context, the continuum of nature and human infrastructure. There are
increasing amounts of satellite and aerial remote sensing imagery of the
earth available for free and low cost (e.g., Landsat; USGS and USDA aerial
photography), via convenient online data portals and virtual earths.
However, for some user communities, licensing costs for commercial image
processing and analysis software may present barriers to scientific use of
free remote sensing imagery. The goal of this session is to present
examples of application and development of free and open source remote
sensing and image processing software for use in the earth and
environmental sciences. Of particular interest are abstract submissions
highlighting open source software applied to the following: high
resolution imagery (0.5-5 m pixels) for detailed landscape mapping, LIDAR,
plugin image processing algorithms for virtual earths, operational
web-based remote sensing, and web processing services (WPS).
