UPDATED on May 20, 2025

After several discussions among the Event Chairs, the Advisory and Scientific Committees, it was decided to adopt this new submission format and extend the deadlines. This decision aims to provide greater flexibility for authors and encourage broader participation in LAGIRS 2025.

We now offer two types of submissions for LAGIRS 2025:

a) Full Papers (4 to 6 pages)

Publication Options (upon acceptance):

1. IEEE Xplore
2. ISPRS Annals

Authors submitting Full Papers (4 to 6 pages) must clearly indicate, at the time of submission, whether they are applying for publication in IEEE Xplore or in the ISPRS Annals. This choice is required to ensure that the paper is reviewed and formatted according to the appropriate standards.

If accepted after peer review, authors must submit a camera-ready version (6 to 8 pages) incorporating reviewers’ suggestions.

Templates:

• IEEE Xplore Template – GRSS
• ISPRS Annals Template

b) Extended Abstracts (2 to 4 pages)

Publication (upon acceptance):

1. Published in the SELPER LAGIRS 2025 e-book, available at both:
   • SELPER Internacional Website
   • SELPER Brasil Website

If accepted, authors must submit a final version (4 to 6 pages) incorporating reviewers’ suggestions.

Template:

• SELPER Extended Abstract Template

Submission Platform

All submissions must be made through the ConfTool system.

Submission Calendar (updated May 20, 2025)

• Submission Deadline (Full Papers & Extended Abstracts): June 15, 2025
• Notification of Acceptance: July 25, 2025
• Camera-Ready Deadline (Revised Papers & Abstracts): September 15, 2025

Important Notes

• Each submission must be formatted according to one of the three mutually exclusive templates, depending on the intended publication outlet.
• Submissions not accepted to IEEE Xplore or ISPRS Annals but approved for presentation will be redirected to SELPER LAGIRS 2025 E-Book.
• Extended Abstracts will not be considered for publication in IEEE Xplore or ISPRS Annals, only in the SELPER LAGIRS 2025 E-Book.
• Authors must select the intended publication option at the time of submission.

***Special Announcement***

The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing (IEEE JSTARS) has agreed to publish a Special Issue featuring selected papers from LAGIRS 2025. Submissions must be substantially extended versions of the conference papers (typically 2–3 times longer) and include enhanced methods, additional data, and expanded analysis. Authors must reference their LAGIRS 2025 paper in the cover letter, or the submission will be treated as a regular article.

The Call for Papers is now available:

One of the highlights of this special issue is the recent agreement between IEEE and CAPES, which covers Open Access publication costs for corresponding authors affiliated with Brazilian institutions.
