Welcome to AIT2018

From space to land management remote sensing technologies supporting sustainable development and natural resource management

The Italian Society of Remote Sensing (AIT – Associazione Italiana di Telerilevamento), since its institution in 1985, is the key reference subject for supporting the communication and information as well as for the coordination of scientific activities in the field of earth observation in Italy.

AIT is aimed at supporting the development and diffusion of Remote Sensing (RS) culture in Italy, taking into consideration the different disciplines related to RS and its application to environmental and land monitoring and assessment. AIT takes care of the international frame working of the national RS initiatives in Italy both in the researchers community and with users and industry. AIT organizes events and courses and publish the European Journal of Remote Sensing in cooperation with the professional publisher Taylors & Francis.

AIT2018 is organized in Firenze between the 4th and 6th of July 2018 and it is hosted by the local Università degli Studi di Firenze.

AIT2018 is a meeting point between for the different disciplines related to RS technologies and between research and industry. For researchers AIT2018 is an important opportunity for presenting recent advancements to a vast and transdisciplinary audience. For the industry is the occasion for showing recent products and services useful for the RS community. Last but not least for professional partners and for decision makers in the field of land/water/urban management, conservation, natural resource management and territorial planning AIT2018 is the key event for presenting their experiences and to update their knowledge in the field of RS.

LASTOOLS FREE WORKSHOP BY MARTIN ISENBURG

In the morning of the 4th of July, before the official beginning of the AIT2018 conference, Martin Isenburg will guide attendees to a short course on LAStools, the most used software package for manipulating raw LiDAR point clouds… and many more!

Dr. Isenburg will start with short and lively introduction talk on LiDAR processing with examples of different projects such as the Canary Islands (Spain) where the vegetation-penetrating lasers uncovered elevation differences of up to 25 meters between the official government maps and reality, flood mapping in the Philippines, archaeological finds in Polish forests, and mapping biomass in Thailand, or other recent laser adventures. This is followed by a quick hands-on workshop during which attendees will perform the core steps of a LiDAR processing workflow on their own Windows laptops using the software and data provided. This workshop will touch upon parts of (1) LiDAR quality checking, (2) LiDAR preparation (tiling, classifying, cleaning), (3) LiDAR derivative creation (DTM/DSM/contours/CHM/…).

Martin Isenburg, PhD short bio:

Dr. Isenburg received his MSc in 1999 from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada and his PhD in 2004 from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA – both in Computer Science. Currently, he is an independent scientist, lecturer, and research consultant. Dr. Isenburg has created a popular suite of LiDAR processing software modules called LAStools that is the flagship product of rapidlasso GmbH, the company he founded in 2012. The LAStools software suite has deep market penetration and is heavily used in industry, government agencies, research labs, and educational institutions. These highly efficient LiDAR processing tools are known for their high productivity. They combine robust algorithms with efficient I/O and clever memory management to achieve high throughput for data sets containing billions of points. See http://rapidlasso.com for more information.

AIT2018 – PUBLICATIONS

The contributions presented at AIT2018 will be published in different media.

The short abstracts submitted at the registration will be published in an abstract book.

After the conference, extended contributions can be submitted for publication in two alternative ways, both subject to peer-review:

A. to a Special Issue “AIT2018” at the European Journal of Remote Sensing (Impact Factor 1.533) within 31 December 2018. (Guest Editors: Simonetta Paloscia, Maria Teresa Melis). B. to an English digital publication at no cost that will be indexed through SCOPUS and WEB OF SCIENCE within 30 September 2018.

In general we recommend option A. for very relevant scientific contributions presenting innovative methods, new approaches or applications to vast areas, papers usually should be developed as a result of an international cooperation. The B. option for all the remaining contributions.
