Welcome to MMT2015
The 9th International Symposium on Mobile Mapping Technology (MMT 2015) will be hosted by the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, UNSW Australia, in the beautiful harbourside city of Sydney, Australia, from Wednesday the 9th to Friday the 11th December 2015.
Over the past 20 years, the MMT Symposium has been the primary event jointly sponsored by the International Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS), International Association of Geodesy (IAG) and the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG). In addition, for the first time, another two major international organisations, the International Society of Mine Surveying (ISM) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA), Australia’s Surveying and Spatial Sciences Institute (SSSI), and Spatial Industries Business Association (SIBA), Australian Robotics and Automation Association (ARAA) as well as Australian Network of Structural Health Monitoring (ANSHM) have also offered the official sponsorships to the MMT2015.
The MMT-2015 will be an open forum to discuss the most recent technologies and their applications, to exchange experiences and to promote future research aiming at technological advancement and improved professional practice in the fields related to mobile mapping.
The Symposium will feature the keynote speakers, oral and interactive poster sessions, industry panel discussions, technical case studies; pre-Symposium workshops and a trade exhibition, as well as a variety of entertaining social events.

Scientific Publications for the Symposium
The MMT2015 Scientific Publication Committee will coordinate both peer-reviewed and non-reviewed conference proceedings as well as special issues for the Journal of Surveying Engineering (SCI indexed, published by American Society of Civil Engineers-ASCE).
Trade Exhibition
A trade exhibition, which will be open from Wednesday the 9th to Friday the 11th December, is included in the Symposium registration. MMT2015 will be the largest mobile mapping sensors, systems, services exhibition for the profession in 2015. This is a great opportunity to see the latest products offered by leaders in the field of equipment, services and applications in geospatial positioning, navigation, surveying and mapping.
