SO&C: Sensor orientation and calibration for mapping and navigation purposes

This workshop will concern various aspects of the research and implementations focused on the issues of sensor orientation and calibration. It will be an opportunity to present and to know the newest achievements in this scope related to ground-based, airborne and satellite systems. Technology brings new sensors constantly in aerial and satellite photogrammetry and remote sensing. Experimental works about the calibration and orientation of new technological solutions for mapping purposes are essential for worldwide photogrammetric society. The workshop will also be the opportunity to discuss the low-cost solutions used for mapping and navigation purposes. Since they are becoming increasingly popular nowadays, the quality of data collected by them can not be guaranteed without including sensor calibration and proper orientation methods.

The workshop will be part of the ISPRS Geospatial Week 2023. It will be hosted by the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport (AASTMT) in parallel with several related geospatial workshops. Any interested scientists and professionals can apply their submissions related to various remote sensing (optical, lidar, thermal, radar, lidar) and navigational (GNSS devices, IMUs, radar, magnetometers, odometers etc.) sensors collected with any platform to present them with thematic oral and poster sessions.
