6th International Symposium on Mobile Mapping Technology
Mobile Mapping Serving the Information Society
21-24 July 2009 - Presidente Prudente, São Paulo, Brazil


The first words are to express our gratitude for this rare opportunity to be the head-office of the worldwide mobile mapping community. The São Paulo State University and particularly the Faculty of Science and Technology, established in the campus of Presidente Prudente, are proud and honored with the distinction of organizing the 6th International Symposium on Mobile Mapping Technology, a responsibility to what we were appointed at the end of the meeting in Padua, Italy, last 2007.
Unesp - acronym for Universidade Estadual Paulista - is a multi campus public university of the State of São Paulo. It is effectively present in 23 cities with 32 university units. Presidente Prudente is the campus for the Faculty of Science and Technology which has 12 undergraduate programs, 6 graduate programs and 8 departments. The Department of Cartography is in charge of the specific disciplines of the cartographic engineering course and of the cartographic sciences graduate program.
On behalf of the faculty, the staff and the students we would like to thank the trust demonstrated by the ISPRS - International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, the IAG - International Association of Geodesy, the ION - Institute of Navigation and the FIG - Fédération Internationale des Géomètres when they accepted to endorse the decision made by the mobile mapping personalities present in the past symposium. For the first time the mobile mapping community joins up at the South Hemisphere during a few winter days.
The Local Organizing Committee (LOC) congratulates with all the authors and co-authors, reviewers, chairs and co-chairs, sponsors and supporters, volunteers, participants and professionals whose work and dedication made this meeting happen.
