MAPPS and ASPRS are once again organizing a dynamic conference around a specialty theme “Digital Mapping – From Elevation to Information.” This follows on the successful joint 2001 Conference on “Digital Elevation Technologies and Applications,” the 2003 Conference on “Terrain Data: Application and Visualization – Making the Connection,” and the 2006 Conference on “Measuring the Earth: Latest Developments with Digital Surface Modeling and Automated Feature Extraction.” This meeting will build on those experiences and will focus on: (1) technical needs for information derived from elevation and other geospatial data; (2) the evolving technology options to address those needs; (3) innovative techniques for data analysis and fusion; and (4) user applications and benefits that justify the costs of such mapping programs.
