Our mission:

Our working group deals with a fundamental task in photogrammetry and remote sensing: sensor orientation, both in real-time and off-line. Sensor orientation is the determination of a sensor or sensor-system orientation parameters -i.e., in a wide sense, its position, velocity and attitude. In our context, navigation is real-time orientation. Today, orientation and navigation parameters are derived from multiple sensor configurations in a number of ways. Data integration from various, usually redundant or at least partially redundant sensors, allows for a more precise, accurate, reliable, less expensive and faster orientation and navigation.

The mission of the Working Group is to promote, facilitate and communicate research and its results on the topics listed below.

Terms of Reference:

• Algorithmic aspects of direct georeferencing for Active and Passive Sensors in Marine, Land, Airborne, and Spaceborne environment.
• Navigation technology and the methods of sensor orientation in urban, indoor and forested environments.
• Co-registration of heterogeneous data sets for integrated sensor navigation, orientation and calibration.
• Georeferencing by integrated sensor orientation - models and adjustment procedures.
• Real-time aspects: mission control, data validation, evaluation, quality control.
• Navigation redundancy, robustness and reliability: impact of system integration.
• Standards and protocols in direct georeferencing and sensor orientation.

• CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: EuroCOW 2010, February 10-12, Institute of Geomatics, Castelldefels, Spain.
