The EuroCOW 2012, the European Calibration and Orientation Workshop, the Institute of Geomatics, Spain


EuroCOW

Introduction
The EuroCOW, the European Calibration and Orientation Workshop, is a biennial event organized by the Institute of Geomatics on behalf of the EuroSDR (European Spatial Data Research) and the ISPRS (International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing).
This biannual meeting intends to bring together the world experts, both from public and private sectors, to present and discuss the recent findings and developments on Sensor Calibration and Orientation. EuroCOW 2012 will be a highly specialized small forum to facilitate the circulation of useful and new information.

The organisers, aware of today's high competitiveness in the area, are trying to set the conditions for a practical, informative and informal three-day meeting in a relaxed atmosphere, and expect to attract real experts with hands-on experience in the field.

The EuroCOW 2012 will be held from February 8th to February 10th, 2012 at the Institute of Geomatics, located in the Mediterranean Technology Park (PMT), Castelldefels (20 Km South from downtown Barcelona).
Papers submission

For this edition, there is a "double track" papers submission procedure: authors have the option to have their paper revised to be published in a special edition of the journal PFG "Photogrammetrie, Fernerkundung, Geoinformation" (paper review track) or to have their paper included in the Workshop's proceedings (abstract review track).

Paper review track

Authors interested in having their paper published in the PFG need to prepare a short abstract. Once it is accepted, the author will be invited to submit a full paper to PFG and to follow the PFG procedures. If a paper does not get through this process successfully, it becomes an "abstract review track" paper.

Abstract review track

Authors interested in publishing only in the Workshop's proceedings need to prepare an abstract, and once it is accepted, they will be asked to submit the full paper.

All authors must present their papers at the EuroCOW. In case of failure doing so, the paper will not be published neither in the journal nor in the proceedings.

In order to follow any of the two options, the important dates all authors should remember are:

                Deadline for "paper review track" abstract submission >>> 2011-09-10
                Deadline for "abstract review track" abstract submission >>> 2011-09-15
