******************************************************************************* Fall AGU Session: New Imaging Approaches for Detecting Topographic or Surface Change ******************************************************************************* From: Mike James <m.james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> We would like to encourage abstract submissions to the following session at the Fall AGU meeting. We are interested in attracting presentations from people working in a wide range of disciplines, so please feel free to forward this to any non-volcanological colleagues using relevant imaging techniques. For any further information, please contact Mike (m.james@xxxxxxxxxxx) or Ben (b.vanwyk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). Fall AGU Meeting, San Francisco CA, Dec. 11-15, 2006 Session V17: New Imaging Approaches for Detecting Topographic or Surface Change ( http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm06/?content=search&show=detail&sessid=274 ) Many fields within the geosciences require the detection of surface change, in either position or appearance. This may relate to resurfacing by deposition during floods or eruptions, to surface removal by erosion and avalanches, or surface deformation by magma intrusion or landsliding. The methods used vary from monitoring individual features to repeated topographic reconstructions. Traditional imaging techniques such as aerial photography and satellite imaging are now being augmented by technologies and approaches developed in fields such as computer vision. We invite contributions describing the application of alternative techniques for the purpose of surface monitoring. This includes the development of novel imaging instruments or deployments and the use of techniques such as oblique photogrammetry and reconstruction from video footage. Applications involving merging data from a variety of imaging or other sensors (e.g. laser scanners) are welcome, with problems either laboratory- or field-based. This session hopes to bring together techniques used over a wide spectrum of disciplines, demonstrating their practical application and the advances made in imaging processes.
