GDR-IASIS RECENT ADVANCES IN REMOTE SENSING 2026

Recent Advances in Remote Sensing 2026 is a one-day event that takes place on September 25th 2026 in Paris. It provides an opportunity for researchers from France and neighboring countries to meet, present their work, and discuss recent advances in remote sensing. Authors of journal articles, conference papers, as well as unpublished work in the field of remote sensing — particularly PhD students — will have the opportunity to present their work during an oral presentation and/or a poster session. 

Overall, Recent Advances in Remote Sensing aims to:

• promote sustainability and inclusivity within the remote sensing community, given that major international conferences are often held outside of Europe,
• highlight high-quality, long-term research (possibly published in scientific journals) by giving authors the opportunity to present their work to a wide audience.

Invited and contributed talks

• Loïc Landrieu (Imagine, A3SI/LIGM, ENPC, IP-Paris) -- AI for Forest Monitoring & Massively Multimodal Representation Learning 
• Florence Tupin (LTCI, Télécom Paris, IP-Paris) -- Self-supervised learning for multi-channel SAR imaging 
• Swann Briand (ONERA, Université Paris-Saclay) -- Weakly supervised learning for snow cover segmentation in mountainous areas from Sentinel-1 SAR images using interpolated NDSI time series 
• Sylvain Colomer (Université Bretagne Sud) --  Large-scale individual tree segmentation across entire white spruce forests using UAV hyperspectral imagery and deep learning with ConvNeXt2 
•
