KEYWORDS: Manuscripts, Proceedings, ISPRS Archives, Guidelines for Authors, Styleguide.
ABSTRACT:
These mandatory guidelines are provided for preparation of papers accepted for publication in the series of Volumes of The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences from ISPRS Congresses and Symposia, and other ISPRS sponsored meetings. These guidelines are issued to ensure a uniform style throughout the series. Your cooperation in adhering to these guidelines is greatly appreciated by the host organizing committee of the meeting. The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences will be produced either on an appropriate electronic media or printed in hardcopy on paper, according to the requirements of the meeting organizing committee, and distributed to registrants at the meetings. All papers that are accepted by the relevant scientific committee of an ISPRS event will be published provided they arrive by the due date and they correspond to these guidelines. Papers should be sent to the meeting organizers in digital form. Reproduction is made directly from author-prepared manuscripts, in electronic or hardcopy form, in A4 paper size 297 mm x 210 mm (11.69 x 8.27 inches). To assure timely and efficient production of the Archives with a consistent and easy to read format, authors must submit their manuscripts in strict conformance with these guidelines. The Society may omit any paper that does not conform to the specified requirements. There will be no opportunity for corrections or improvements of poorly prepared originals. These instructions have been prepared in the form that is internationally agreed on for volumes of the Archives.
1. MANUSCRIPT
1.1 General Instructions
Maximum paper length is restricted to 6 printed pages. Invited papers can be increased to 12 pages. The paper should have the following structure:
- Title of the paper
- Authors and affiliation
- Keywords (6-8 words)
- Abstract (at least 100 words)
- Introduction - including motivation, aims (and for long papers structure of the paper), overview and references to related work (in separate section)
- Main body - explanation of methods, algorithms, data used, instrumentation (sensors, systems, etc.), results and discussion
- Conclusions
- References
- Acknowledgements
- Appendix
All papers should be sent to the
meeting organizers in digital form.
1.2 Page Layout, Spacing and Margins
The paper must be compiled in one column for the Title and Abstract and in two columns for all subsequent

1.3 Preparation in Electronic form
To assist authors in preparing their
papers, styleguides for preparing
digital versions of papers are provided in Word and/or LaTeX on the Archives page at the ISPRS Home Page.
http://www.isprs.org/documents/orangebook/app5.aspx.
1.4 Length and Font
All manuscripts, except Invited Papers, are limited to a size of no more than six (6) single-spaced
pages (A4 size) in the printed version of the Archives, including
abstracts, figures, tables and references. ISPRS Invited Papers are limited to 12
pages. For any additional page, the extra expenses must be paid for
by the author(s) according to the price-list set by the meeting organizers.
For the printed version of the Archives, the font type Times New
Roman with a size of nine (9) points is to be used.
2. TITLE AND ABSTRACT BLOCK
2.1 Title
The title should appear centered in bold capital letters without
underlining, near the top of the first page of the paper. The font type Times New
Roman with a size of twelve (12) points is to be used. Use more
than one line if you wish, but always use single-spacing. After one blank line,
type the author(s) name(s), affiliation and mailing address (including e-mail) in upper and
lower case letters centered under the title. In the case of multi-authorship, group them by firm or organization
as shown in the title of these Guidelines.
2.2 ISPRS Affiliation (optional)
For those authors affiliated with a specific Commission and/or
Working Group of ISPRS, a separate title may be entered. The title should be centered in
bold type after one blank line below the title affiliation,
i.e. Commission #, Working Group #. The Commission number shall be Roman and the Working
Group number should be the Commission Roman number,
slash, WG Arabic number, e.g.
Commission VI, Working Group VI/3
2.3 Key Words
Leave two blank lines under the Title.
Type "KEY WORDS:" in bold capital letters, followed by 5-8 key words, according to the list appended to
these Guidelines or as provided on the ISPRS Archives Home Page
http://www.isprs.org/publications/archives.aspx.
2.4 Abstract
Leave two blank lines under the key words. Type "ABSTRACT:" flush
left in bold Capitals followed by one blank line. Start now with a concise Abstract (limited to 250 words)
which presents briefly the content and very importantly, the news and results of the paper in words
understandable also to non-specialists. Type text single-spaced, without blank lines between paragraphs,
as shown at the beginning of these Guidelines under ABSTRACT. Start paragraphs flush with left margin.
3. MAIN BODY OF TEXT
Type text single-spaced, with one blank line between paragraphs
and following headings. Start paragraphs flush with left margin.
3.1 Headings
MAJOR HEADINGS
Major headings or section headings are to be centered, in bold
capitals without underlining, after a triple line space (two blank lines) and followed by
a double line space (one blank line).
Subheadings
Type subheadings flush with the left margin in bold upper case
and lower case letters. Subheadings are on a separate line between two single
blank lines.
Subsubheadings: They are to be typed in bold upper case and
lower case letters after one double line space (one blank line) flush with the
left margin of the page, with text following on the
same line. Subsubheadings may be followed by period or colon, they may also be
the first word of the paragraph's sentence.
Decimal numbering of all sections is recommended. If
bold printing is not available to you, use underlining, instead, but only for
subheadings and subsubheadings, not for Major Headings.
3.2 Footnotes
Avoid footnotes, but if you need them, mark footnotes in the
text with an asterisk (*); use a double asterisk (**) for a second footnote on the
same page. Place footnotes at the bottom of the page,
separated from the text above it by a horizontal line.
3.3 Illustrations
3.3.1 Placement: Figures must be placed in the appropriate location in the
document, as close as practicable to the reference of the figure in the text. While
figures and tables are usually aligned horizontally on the
page, large figures and tables sometimes need to be turned on their sides. If you must
turn a figure or table sideways, please be sure that
the top is always on the left-hand side of the page.
3.3.2 Captions: All captions should be typed in upper and lower case
letters, centered directly beneath the illustration. Use single spacing if they
use more than one line. All captions are to be numbered
consecutively, e.g. Figure 1, Table 2, Figure 3.
3.3.3 Line Drawings: Drawings in papers prepared in digital form must
be in the appropriate location in the document.
Figure 1. Figure placement and numbering
3.3.4 Photographs: Images must be placed in appropriate positions in the paper.
Type the caption directly under photos.
3.3.5 Tables: Tables should be produced directly within the text. Each table
should have a number and a caption.
3.3.6 Copyright: If your article contains any copyrighted illustrations
or imagery, please include a statement of copyright such as: © SPOT Image

retain the copyright.
3.4 Equations, Symbols and Units:
3.4.1 Equations: Equations should be numbered consecutively throughout the paper. The
equation number is enclosed in parentheses and placed flush right. Leave two blank lines before
and after equations. E.g.
 |
(1) |
where
c = focal length
x, y = image coordinates
X0, Y0, Z0 = coordinates of projection center
X', Y', Z' = object coordinates in ground coordinate system
3.4.2 Symbols and Units: Use the SI (Système Internationale) Units and
Symbols. Unusual characters or symbols should be explained in a list of nomenclature.
