Call for Abstracts (Due 16 March 2021) for the Optical Society’s (OSA) 2021 Hyperspectral Imaging and Sounding of the Environment (HISE)

The Optical Society’s (OSA) 2021 Hyperspectral Imaging and Sounding of the Environment (HISE) meeting will take place on 19 – 23 July 2021 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The meeting brings together researchers and industry leaders in the field of hyperspectral remote sensing of terrestrial, coastal, oceanic, and atmospheric phenomena and industrial processes. You can find more information about the meeting and the topic categories at http://www.osa.org/HISE.

We solicit presentations on recent advances in all aspects of active and passive hyperspectral remote sensing of open ocean, coastal and inland aquatic systems, including, but not limited to, instrumentation, image processing, information extraction through artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques, radiative transfer modeling, atmospheric correction, algorithm development, data product retrieval, disaster response, and environmental monitoring.

The meeting will be held in a hybrid format, consisting of virtual and in-person (contingent on local rules and travel restrictions during the meeting dates) presentations. The inability to travel will not be a hindrance to participating and presenting at the meeting.

 The deadline for submitting the abstract and summary paper is 16 March 2021. You can find more information about abstract submission at https://www.osa.org/en-us/meetings/osa_meetings/optical_sensors_and_sensing_congress/submit_papers/

We look forward to receiving an excellent collection of abstracts from the aquatic remote sensing community.

Regards,

Michelle Gierach, Wes Moses, Andrea Vander Woude, and Emmanuel Devred on behalf of the 2021 HISE Program Committee
