CONFERENCE OBJECTIVE

The conference aims to bring together scientists and entrepreneurs from various fields related to geospatial knowledge. Its primary goal is to explore the most effective ways of integrating both professional and crowdsourced geospatial data into civil, architectural, and environmental engineering.

To address this challenge, several scientific sessions will be organized, along with the ISPRS WG V/6 Workshop. Special attention will be given to close-range photogrammetry, UAS, LiDAR, and open-source geospatial technologies aligned with the main focus areas of the conference.

Novosibirsk Region (SRO ASONO)

Prof. Vladimir Seredovich, Ph.D. in Applied Geodesy. More than 40 years of educational
experience, scientific and research works, and implementation of new education specialties
such as mine surveying, information systems, cadastre, metrology and new scientific
disciplines: GLONASS, geodynamic polygons, laser scanning, 3D modeling, and
metrological supervision. He founded a new scientific school on laser scanning at the
Siberian State University of Geosystems and Technology in Novosibirsk.
He was a chair of ISPRS WG V/7: Innovative Technologies in Training Civil Engineer and
Architects and main trends of his interest were:
• Innovative geospatial technologies in civil, town planning and architecture
• DEM for construction design
• Building information modeling (BIM) and 3D city models
• Environmental impact assessment
• Geospatial technology for smart city design and planning
• Geospatial technology for structure inventory and certification.
As a scientific supervisor, he was engaged in the implementation of innovative projects in
oil, gas, and mining companies, supervised the deformation monitoring at the Ignalina NPP,
etc.
Since 2016 he has been actively engaged in the following R&D: geospatial solutions for
construction, implementation of BIM and laser scanning technologies, digitalization in the
construction industry, use of UAVs for problem solving in architecture, GIS, ecology, etc. He
is busy at the Regional Self-Regulating Organization of Construction Association of the
Novosibirsk Region (SRO ASONO) with the implementation of digital transformation
technologies in the construction industry, practical implementation of laser scanning
technology at all stages of the object life-cycle.
