La 8ème édition du « EARSeL Special Interest Group in Imaging Spectroscopy Workshop » s’est tenue à la Cité Nantes Events Center à Nantes du 8 au 10 avril 2013. Ce colloque réunit la communauté internationale des utilisateurs de l’imagerie « hyperspectrale » tous les 2 ans depuis 1998. Il avait lieu pour la première fois en France.

Plus de 150 personnes étaient présentes, représentant 18 nationalités. Le colloque s’est ouvert sur deux présentations invitées : « Imaging spectroscopy 2013 – Status and trends » par Andreas Müller, DLR, Allemagne et « Linking image spectroscopy to biodiversity » par le professeur Andrew Skidmore d’ITC – Université de Twente, Pays-Bas. Ont suivi 68 présentations orales et 45 posters couvrant les thèmes suivants :
•    Future IS spaceborne missions
•    Agricultural and forestry applications
•    Data pre-processing – Calibration – Validation
•    Coastal environment and limnology (2 sessions)
•    Terrestrial ecosystems
•    Chlorophyll fluorescence
•    Radiative transfer
•    Soil applications
•    Urban ecosystems
•    Image processing methods and tools
•    Instrument development (2 sessions)
•    Mapping Earth and planetary surfaces
•    Mining environment and other applications

Etaient également présents 10 exposants présentant les derniers développements en équipement (caméras hyperspectrales, spectromètres de terrain, drones, etc.) et de logiciels de traitement (ENVI, ATCOR4, etc.). A noter la présence d’un stand de la SFPT.

Les participants ont beaucoup apprécié l’ambiance conviviale de la Cité qui a permis de nombreuses interactions ainsi que la visite des « Machines de l’île ». Les prochaines éditions seront organisées en 2015 par l’Université de Trier, Allemagne, et en 2017 par l’Université d’Helsinki, Finlande.

The COST Action ES0903 “EUROSPEC” Final Meeting is organized by Fondazione Edmund Mach (FEM), and the MUSE Trento Science Museum designed by Renzo Piano.

This premier European meeting focuses on recent research activities in the optical sampling field carried out within the EUROSPEC COST Action (ES0903) and is open to worldwide researchers from the remote sensing, proximal sensing and carbon flux communities.
The congress will end with a field trip (8^th November) to visit a field site on the Trentino Alps.
Registration and abstract submission are open until 31^st July, and we will communicate  on 31^st August which abstracts will be presented as talks.

TOPICS

Papers are being accepted in these areas:

• Continuous and episodical spectral measurements integrating energy and matter fluxes
• Spectroradiometer calibration and field measurements issues
• Cyber-infrastructure, spectral database platforms
• Upscaling carbon flux measurements using UAV, airborne, satellite optical data
• Remote and proximal sensing of vegetation Fluorescence

The number of participants will be limited due to lack of space at the MUSE museum.  Participation will be filled on a first-come/first-serve basis, so please register as soon as possible!

Créée en France en 2009 avec le soutien de la IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS), la conférence WHISPERS (Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing) réunit annuellement les spécialistes de l’imagerie hyperspectrale (chercheurs, doctorants et industriels).

Après Grenoble (2009), Reykjavik (Islande, 2010), Lisbonne (Portugal, 2011) et Shanghai (Chine, 2012), WHISPERS se tiendra en Floride en juin 2013. Les papiers présentés lors de la conférence (présentations orales et poster) sont sélectionnés sur la base d’une peer-review avec au moins deux experts pour chaque papier (date limite de soumission des papiers : 15 février 2013).

The European Association of Remote Sensing Laboratories, the Laboratoire de Planétologie et Géodynamique de Nantes and Nantes University welcome you to the 8th EARSeL Imaging Spectrometry Workshop (8 – 10 April 2013) at La Cité Nantes Events Center – Nantes – France.

EARSeL’s Special Interest Group on Imaging Spectroscopy is a forum whose aim is to encourage international discussions among specialists working with this innovative Earth Observation technology. The forum was founded by EARSeL at the University of Zurich in 1999, led by RSL, who conducted the first workshop. Since then, five more very successful workshops were held at ITC Enschede, the Netherlands (2001), DLR Herrsching, Germany (2003), the University of Warsaw, Warsaw,  Poland (2005), VITO, Brugge, Belgium (2007), Tel Aviv, Israël (2009) and University of Edinburgh, U.K. (2011). The next workshop will take place in Nantes, France, from April 8th to 10th 2013. We invite you to mark your calendar for this important meeting.

The meeting will cover all themes related to imaging spectroscopy. As several spaceborne missions are scheduled for the near future, this workshop is particularly important and will provide a unique opportunity to discuss recent developments in imaging and related spectroscopic methods for environmental research, learn about recent developments in imaging science and thematic and environmental applications at ground, airborne and spaceborne levels, explore the integration of spatial and temporal coverage afforded by imaging instruments with the high spectral resolution data obtained for every pixel, discuss ground-based spectroscopic techniques, such as field spectroscopy and related hyperspectral sensing methods, learn and discuss how these methods can address key environmental issues and new areas of environmental science.

The deadline for submission of abstracts for the meeting is the 17th of December 2012.

Exhibitors and Sponsors: There are a number of opportunities for sponsorship of the meeting and for companies and organizations to exhibit at the meeting. Please contact the conference organizers (veronique.carrere@univ-nantes.fr). Similarly, any groups wishing to propose special sessions for the meeting, please also contact the conference team, please contact Véronique Carrère.
