Call for Papers, Special Issue on Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing of the journal Geomatik Schweiz – September 2020 

Dear SGPF/SSPT members , 

 

As every year the issue September of Geomatik Schweiz is dedicated to Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. Up to now, papers were published based on invitation. This year the Council of SGPF/SSPT wants to select papers based on a call for papers. This call is open to all SGPF/SSPT members but also non-members (from academia, public and research institutions and private firms). Any topic on Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing is suitable. Papers on other topics of Geomatics will receive lower priority and can be published in the regular issues of the journal. The paper contents should not be too exotic and too scientific (avoid many equations) and should preferably relate to an important application. The special issue has 16 pages and usually 4 papers. Extra pages can be bought by the authors at a cost of 300 CHF per page. Papers should be preferably in only one language to avoid loss of precious page space. 

 

If interested, please send via email an extended abstract of 600 words (you can add few figures and tables, if desirable) by June 1st to the editor of the special issue, Emmanuel Baltsavias, ETH Zürich, manos@geod.baug.ethz.ch. The abstract should cover all essential parts (aims, input data, methods, results and discussion). For the selection we will also use criteria regarding the geographic and institutional distribution of the authors. 

 

Authors of selected abstracts will be notified by June 15th, together with more detailed instructions about the preparation of the manuscripts. The final full manuscripts should be submitted to the editor by July 24th. 

 

All deadlines are strict! 

 

We are looking forward to your contribution and an interesting and useful special issue.
