New Terminology Guide
We are pleased to announce that Photogrammetric Terminology: Second Edition by Paul R. T. Newby, Editor Emeritus of The Photogrammetric Record, is now available (link to DOI: 10.1111/j.1477-9730.2012.00693.x). Adapted and expanded from the widely-used first edition, the new compilation has been completely revised and updated. It will continue to promote consistency of language and to serve as a "style guide" for photogrammetric literature.
It will be introduced through a separate paper "International Photogrammetric Terminology - A New Edition", to be presented at the Australian Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Conference linked with ISPRS in Melbourne – session "16ARSPC/4: Applications of Earth Observation Data and Terminology" (1600-1730hrs , Monday 27th August)

The working group III/4, ′Complex scene analysis and 3D reconstruction′, will carry out an international test on urban object detection and 3D building reconstruction from airborne image and laserscanning data.
Two data sets will be distributed to the participants, who may carry out one of two tasks:

Urban object detection: a variety of objects, including buildings, roads, cars, and trees can be extracted. Participants may choose one or more object classes.
3D building reconstruction: detailed building roof models according to LoD2 of the CityGML standard are to be extracted.

Our working group will test submitted results against reference data.

Results submitted before September 30, 2011 can be published in one or two special sessions on the benchmark at the ISPRS congress in Melbourne in September 2012.

More information about the test and about the procedure for obtaining the test data can be found at http://www.itc.nl/ISPRS_WGIII4/tests_datasets.html
