CALL FOR PAPER
The abstact submission has closed
FIG would like to thank the contributions of authors who submitted an
abstract for consideration into the programme. Authors will be notified
of the outcomes by 30 January 2017.
The focus of the FIG Working Week 2017 will be “Surveying
the world of tomorrow – From digitalisation to augmented reality”.
We have been witnessing the first beginning of a development leading
towards services which not only describe the visible world around us but
also simultaneously bring up other information connected to our place of
interest. One step is to become digitalized and to use the digital
information; the next step is to combine information and be able to
collect the data intelligently and to take further steps into the
intelligent use of digital information. The theme was chosen to
highlight the opportunities and open a view into a future where the
information we produce is, again, put into a more efficient use.
FIG Working Week 2017 is the main event for all ten FIG
technical commissions. Therefore proposals for papers are
