### Welcome Note ###

We invite you to join us at the 7th 3D GeoInfo which is being co-organized by Laval University and the GEOIDE Network and will be held in the beautiful city of Quebec in May 2012. The International 3D GeoInfo Conference aims at bringing together international state-of-the-art research and facilitating the dialogue on emerging topics in the field of 3D geo-information. The conference offers an interdisciplinary forum in the fields of 3D data collection and modelling; reconstruction and methods for 3D representation; data management for maintenance of 3D geo information or 3D data analysis and visualization. We sincerely welcome you to take part of this activity in sharing with us your expertise and passion about 3D data and technologies.

The joint 7th 3D GeoInfo and 14th GEOIDE annual scientific conference promise to be a leading event in 2012 !

### About the Conference (Themes) ###

3D GeoInfo 2012 aims at bringing together international researchers from academia, industry, and government in the field of 3D geoinformation. We are inviting researchers and companies to participate and present their activities to international experts in the field of 3D geo information technology. The conference offers an interdisciplinary forum in the fields of:

- Data collection and modelling: advanced approaches for 3D data
collection, reconstruction and methods for representation

- Data management: topological, geometrical, and network models
for maintenance of 3D geo information

- Data analysis and visualisation: frameworks for representing 3D
spatial relationships, 3D spatial analysis, algorithms for navigation,
interpolation, and advanced virtual reality
