The scope of the Optical Remote Sensing of the Environment Conference will focus on three general areas: sensors, algorithms and phenomena, and applications. With regard to sensors, the conference will focus especially on hyperspectral and multi-spectral imaging sensors, LiDAR, and multi-sensor imaging (for example, hyperspectral combined with LiDAR or hyperspectral and other non-optical remote sensing modalities such as RADAR).

Under the general area of algorithms and phenomena, papers will focus on topics such as methods to correct data (atmospheric correction), exploitation methods using a variety of methods (for example radiative transfer and image classification, detection, or change detection methodologies). Papers will also address specific topics related to retrievals such as ocean color and land biophysical or geophysical parameters. Other analysis techniques and tools will also be covered, for example, compression, sensor fusion, and data visualization and GIS/information management.

Application topics will address a broad range of topics where optical sensors are used to characterize the environment, such as the coastal ocean, forestry, agriculture, or environmental monitoring and natural resource monitoring and management.
