CVPR is the premier annual computer vision event comprising the main conference and several co-located workshops and short courses. With its high quality and low cost, it provides an exceptional value for students, academics and industry researchers.
CVPR represents an international community of scholars whose collective efforts are embodied in one of the finest conferences in all of Computer Science.
The CVPR 2017 organisers take the view that good ideas could come from anyone, anywhere and that these good ideas should be disseminated for the good of all humanity – without exception. The organizing committee will continue to work to ensure that we do all we can to live up to these ideals. Our community knows no boundaries and we will strive to help researchers to participate, no matter where they live.

The Surveying and Spatial Sciences Institute in conjunction with the Australasian Hydrographic Society will be holding a World Hydrography Day (WHD) seminar and dinner in Darwin on 21 June 2017.
Many end users of spatial data may not be directly involved in hydrographic surveying but will have some link to the outputs. To understand what hydrographic surveyors can provide your spatial profession you should consider attending this seminar and realise your unknown connection.
Areas where hydrographic surveying influences other spatial sciences and are intended topics of the seminar include:
- LiDAR deployment from boat – links with all of the other SSSI Commissions, infrastructure, environmental monitoring;
- ROV operations – links to engineers, infrastructure inspection, environmental science;
- Feature detection using Sonar, Magnetometer – links to pipeline survey, ports and harbour navigational safety, UXO (Unexploded Ordnance);
- Depiction and modelling of bathymetry Bathy – links to GIS;
- The land/sea interface and the linkages to the vertical datum and mapping;
- Drone work – links to remote sensing; etc
The WHD theme for the seminar is “Mapping our seas and oceans – more important than ever.” This theme will raise awareness that depths have not been directly measured in about 50% of the World’s coastal waters and about 90% of the oceans. Further, it raises awareness of the current lack of comprehensive data to underpin many maps and charts of the seas and oceans. It will help promote and encourage innovative supplementary data gathering and data maximizing initiatives already under investigation in the IHO, including crowd-sourced bathymetry (volunteered geographic data) and satellite-derived bathymetry.
The theme will also help to promote the increasing role of those involved in hydrography in maritime spatial data infrastructures and the benefits of making hydrographic data accessible to the widest possible audience for uses that go well beyond the safety of navigation.
Following the successful inaugural RPAS in Australian Skies conference in March, 2016, Australian Association for Unmanned Systems (AAUS) is proud to be continuing this very important discussion within the aviation community.
This years event RPAS in Australian Skies 2017 will be held in Canberra during June 27-28, 2017. The conference format will include key note presentations from CASA, Air Services, Defence and Industry as well as panel discussion sessions. The following themes will be explored:
- ADF plans for RPAS use in domestic civil airspace
- Lessons learned from Military RPAS operations in shared airspace
- European & US approaches to RPAS operations in shared airspace
- Australian Roadmap for regulatory development
- Industry perspective and challenges
- Controlling illegal RPAS operators
- Beyond Visual Line Of Sight operations for RPA
- Emerging Technologies
- Integration of RPAS into ATM and ATM procedures
- Shared use of Aerodromes
- Lower Airspace Concepts
AAUS is now inviting papers for the conference. Please submit short abstract to greg.tyrrell@aaus.org.au by April 30, 2017.
The Far North GIS Users Group (FUNGIS) aims to unite the far northern spatial community through events and workshops, the sharing of resources and the distribution of news of local geospatial initiatives.
On the Thursday, the participants will be challenged by the Queensland Police in Disaster Response and Search and Rescue. You can then learn more about spatial information in the new Queensland Globe, mapping marine debris and 3D modelling -that’s just in the morning. The afternoon will cover how UAVs can be used in innovative agriculture and get a quickie on practical drone use.
Friday will be focused on getting you trained up, flying and analysing the data that comes out of a semi-professional drone.
YellowScan has again put everything together to offer you two very particular days in the beautiful area of Southern France. This year, our User Conference will take place on June 29-30 in Montpellier. This event will include demos and conferences about our lightweight integrated Lidar Systems and their technical specifications, the UAVs used for LiDARs, the Data processing and analysis, but also industry case studies, what’s new and what’s coming at Yellowscan.

The Institute of Australian Geographers Conference (IAG2017) is the annual meeting of the Institute of Australian Geographers, a non-profit organisation representing geographers and aiming to promote and advance the discipline of geography. Participants from academic, non-profit, government, business, research, and other institutional backgrounds are encouraged to attend.
This year’s conference is being hosted by The University of Queensland on the St Lucia campus. This year’s conference theme is ‘Geography Counts’, stressing the role of geography in informing policy from a holistic, global perspective. The organisers have stressed the breadth of the discipline, and welcome participation across all sub-disciplines, and from those using a diversity of methodologies. They hope that both geographers and non-geographers from Australasia and beyond attend and contribute.
