Call for Paper: Special Issue “GeoWeb 2.0” of the ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information
The advancement of Internet technology is constantly changing the way geographic information is being collected, managed, processed, analyzed, and used. While a first wave of innovation has transformed Geographic Information Systems into Geographic Information Services, a second paradigm shift has recently been observed. This paradigm deals with crowdsourcing and the collaborative generation of geographic information.…

About identifying man-made objects from mobile LiDAR data
A new automated approach for the detection and classification of man-made objects in urban corridors from point clouds acquired by vehicle-borne Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) has recently been suggested by Fan and Yao. The approach is designed based on a-priori knowledge in urban areas: (i) man-made objects feature geometric regularity like vertical planar structures (e.g.…

Road-based travel recommendation using geo-tagged images from social media
Geotagged photos on social media like Flickr explicitly indicate the trajectories of tourists. They can be employed to reveal the tourists’ preference on landmarks and routings of tourism. Most of existing works on routing searches from social media are based on the trajectories of GPS-enabled devices’ users. We attempt to propose a novel approach in…

Towards interoperability between data from technical sensors and human sensors (VGI)
The increasing availability of sensor devices has resulted in large volumes of sensor data, which has raised the issue of making these data fully discoverable and interpretable by applications and end-users. The idea of OGC Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) has addressed this issue by proposing a set of standards to enable accessibility of sensor data…
