MMT 2017 Welcome Word
"The Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport (AASTMT) is honored to host the 10th International conference on Mobile Mapping Technology (MMT 2017) that will be held under the auspices of H.E Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, H.E Egyptian Minister of Communication and Information Technology as well as H.E Egyptian Minister of Higher Education.
The conference will be held from 6 – 8 May 2017, at the Conrad Cairo Hotel."
The conference will also provides a platform for international scholars, graduate students, future scientists and industrial sectors to learn exchangeknowledge and experiences of applying up-to-date mobile mapping technologies for sustainable development. Thanks to the advancement of direct-georeferencing and sensor technologies, mobile mapping has become a versatile technology applied for fast geospatial data acquisition and mega engineering projects. The growing market penetration of mobile mapping, satellite imaging and web GIS has created great research and business opportunities to geospatial communitiesdevelop new technologies for smart cities and better quality of life for people around the wrold.
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Cairo a vibrant, exhilarating, exotic, fascinating and welcoming city. Home to the best Pharaonic, Coptic and Islamic sights in Egypt. Cairo is where you never know what incredible, half-forgotten monument you might stumble across while wandering around. Enjoy the Nile view from your hotel room balcony, visit the capital's medieval markets by Khan El-Khalili, or walk down the Nile promenade.
The International conference on Mobile Mapping Technology (MMT) is the premier event being organized jointly by the ISPRS, FIG, IAG, and ICA. MMT offers a great forum for research and development in mobile mapping technology, systems and applications. The advancement of Mobile Mapping technology has attributed to many aspects in Geomatics and our day-to-day life activities. This conference will reflect the core spectrum of the latest developments in mobile mapping technology, ranging from the algorithm research to the system development, from land-based to airborne systems, from direct georeferencing to sensor integration, from mobile data collection to dynamic GIS management.
Nearly 22 years ago, the Ohio State University hosted the first International conference on Mobile Mapping systems. At that time, it was very clear that Mobile Mapping had the potential for providing a diversity of services and products to the mapping community.
