W6: Planetary Remote Sensing and Mapping (PRSM2025)

Workshop Overview

The proposed International Workshop on Planetary Remote Sensing and Mapping (PRSM2025) focuses on the latest developments and innovative methods and applications of planetary remote sensing and mapping arising from recent planetary exploration missions. Submissions are invited on, but not restricted to the following topics:

  • Planetary remote sensing techniques and new instrument technologies
  • Planetary topographical mapping from photogrammetry, photoclinometry, laser altimetry.
  • Planetary geomorphology and geology from remote sensing – methods and recent advances.
  • Planetary remote sensing data fusion and synergistic use
  • Machine/deep learning applied to planetary remote sensing and mapping
  • GIS applied to planetary remote sensing data
  • Planetary remote sensing data dissemination, formats, and interoperability
  • Planetary science and exploration mission planning based on remote sensing data – ongoing and imminent missions

Chairs

Bo Wu

Research Centre for Deep Space Explorations | Department of Land Surveying & Geo-Informatics, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong
[email protected]

Bo Wu is the Fiona Cheung Endowed Professor in Spatial Science with the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He participated in NASA-funded projects for Mars and Moon exploration missions when he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Ohio State University in the United States. Since joining the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, he developed innovative 3D topographic mapping and geomorphological analysis techniques and contributed to the landing site mapping and selection for China’s Chang’E-3, Chang’E-4, Chang’E-5 lunar missions, and the Tianwen-1 mission to Mars. He received many awards, such as the Outstanding Award for China’s First Mars Exploration Mission from China National Space Administration, Talbert Abrams Award and John Davidson President’s Award from American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, and Duane Brown Senior Award from the Ohio State University. He chairs the ISPRS ICWG III/IV “Planetary Remote Sensing and Mapping” and serves as Associate Editor/Editorial Board Member of six international journals.
