Extended Abstracts

Submission portal

Submission deadline: Nov 3 2025

According to the main program call for abstracts and the ISPRS Announcement

The extended abstract should contain enough detail to clearly convey the approach and results of the research concepts, and the reasons why it should be considered an interesting message for the audience. Extended abstracts should be two single-spaced pages (A4 size), including figures, tables and references and 800-1000 words long. Extended abstract should be prepared following the ISPRS Guidelines for authors preparing an abstract.

Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to submit their final, full-length papers that will be published in the ISPRS Archives. Alternatively, abstract only submissions without the requirement to submit a full-length paper are also possible. To be included in the final program, authors of an accepted abstract will be required to provide a properly formatted final revised version of the extended abstract; at least one author must be registered (full fee or reduced fee) by the deadline.”

Review Process

All paper submissions to an Thematic Session will be subjected to the Congress deadlines and the ISPRS review process. Details of the review process is given in the ISPRS Announcement The below is an excerpt from that document.

(Extended) abstracts and full-length papers submitted to the Congress will be subjected to the ISPRS review process, a summary of which is provided herein. Authors should consult the following publication for complete details: isprs-annals.copernicus.org/articles/IV5/53/2018/.

Each of the five Technical Commission Presidents is known as Program Chair (PC). Following an initial check, the PC assigns each submitted abstract or paper to an Area Chair (AC). ISPRS Working Group officers, Thematic Session Chairs, and other external experts serve as ACs. The AC also checks the submission and invites reviewers to provide an evaluation. Upon receiving the reviews, the AC makes one of the following recommendations to the PC:

  • Accepted for publication in the ISPRS Annals: full papers that were judged as the highest quality. Revisions to the paper may be required.

  • Accepted for publication in the ISPRS Archives: full papers not accepted for the ISPRS Annals but still deemed worthy of inclusion in the scientific program. Revisions may be required for the submitted full-length paper.

  • Accepted for publication in the ISPRS Archives: extended abstracts that were judged to be of high quality. A full-length paper for which reviewer comments on the abstract have been addressed can be submitted.

  • Extended abstracts accepted for presentation without publication of a fulllength paper.

  • Rejected: full papers or abstracts that are not of sufficient quality.

The PC checks the recommendation and makes the final decision and recommends the presentation mode. The PCs are also responsible for checking that final paper submissions conform to the ISPRS template. The CSRS Technical Program Chair will coordinate the review process for submissions to CSRS Invited Sessions, the Applied Sessions (ISPRS and CRSS-SCT) and the Student Oral Paper and Poster Paper Awards at the Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing competition.

The Scientific Chair (SC) oversees the entire process and builds the scientific program in consultation with the PCs and the CSRS Technical Program Chair.
