This workshop covers advances in 2D/3D mapping from spaceborne constellations, airborne and terrestrial LiDAR, UAV imaging (RGB, multispectral, hyperspectral, thermal), and photogrammetric sensors. Topics include radar applications (InSAR, DInSAR, MT-InSAR, Radargrammetry), sensor calibration and benchmarking, DEM/DSM/DTM/CHM generation, and data fusion across platforms. Further focus is on machine/deep learning for thematic mapping, 3D city models, digital twins, VR/AR, and applications in smart agriculture, forestry, and environmental monitoring. Emerging technologies such as CubeSats, robotic mapping, and autonomous systems will also be addressed.
