TERRESTRIAL LIDAR 2010 is the first international workshop on terrestrial laser scanning (TLS or Lidar) technologies and applications that takes place in China. The theme selected for TERRESTRIAL LIDAR 2010 will bring together the researchers and practitioners from around the world with one focused objective of sharing information on lidar mapping technology and services.

TERRESTRIAL LIDAR 2010 is a joint ISPRS
event, co-organized by ICWG V/I - Land-Based Mobile Mapping Systems, WG V/3 - Terrestrial Laser Scanning and 3D Imaging, and WG I/3 - Multi-Platform Multi-Sensor Inter-Calibration. The local hosts are Zhengzhou Institute of Surveying and Mapping and the Engineering Surveying Branch of the Chinese Society for Geodesy, Photogrammetry and Cartography (CSGPC).

The TERRESTRIAL LIDAR 2010 Scientific Committee is seeking papers and work-in progress reports on all aspects of terrestrial lidar mapping, with a particular emphasis on papers that address the key commercial and technical issues facing the geomatics industry.
