From Imagery to Map: Digital Photogrammetric Technologies, 14th International Scientific and Technical Conference

Published September 5, 2014 Conferences , Photogrammetry Leave a Comment

The 14th International Scientific and Technical Conference will be held on October 20-23, 2014 in Hainan, China.

About the conference

The role of remote sensing and photogrammetric technologies is constantly increasing. Therefore, each new conference that is devoted to this topic truly becomes a marquee event.

Every year our conference brings together the best specialists of the field from dozens of countries and provides them excellent opportunities for professional communication and discussion. Permanent participants of the Conference are such leading companies in the remote sensing field as DigitalGlobe (USA), Airbus Defence and Space (EU), enterprises of the Federal Space Agency (Russia), SCANEX R&D Center (Russia), Hexagon (Sweden), Microsoft/Vexcel (Austria), and VisionMap (Israel). The use of satellite and aerial surveys is presented by industry leaders such as FSUE Roslesinforg (Russia), JSC Roscartography (Russia), Gazprom VNIIGAZ (Russia), KazGeoCosmos (Kazakhstan), Eurosense (Belgium), Leibniz University Hannover (Germany), MapWorldTechnologies (India), and many others.

One of the features of the Conference is its annual change in location. This not only allows for a variety of Conference work, but it also opens up new opportunities. This year we chose China as the venue, taking into account the increased influence of Chinese on the remote sensing and geoinformation market.

Currently the Chinese market is one of the most challenging consumers and suppliers of geospatial data. Due to China’s huge area, rapid economic growth, and advances in space technology, the world’s leading companies aspire to work with this nation. Our decision to hold the next Conference in China is further proof of the great importance of the Chinese market to methods of remote sensing development and photogrammetry technologies.

How will participation in the conference benefit you? First of all this is a unique opportunity to share your own experience and get acquainted with the achievements of colleagues, as well as take in large amounts of interesting and very useful information. You should consider that our Conference is covered broadly by leading Russian and foreign industry mass media. It also allows participants and sponsors to network with each other and create new contacts.

Based on the experience of previous conferences, there is no doubt that this will be a very interesting, vivid, and memorable event. We hope you will take part in the upcoming conference.

ArcLand Conference “From Known Knowns to Unknown Unknowns: Remotely Detecting the Past”

Published March 19, 2013 Conferences , Lifelong Education Leave a Comment

9th – 10th May 2013, Wood Quay Venue, Civic Offices, Dublin

Over the past few years the extent and quality of information available from satellites, airborne laser scanning (LiDAR) and aerial photography has grown exponentially. These techniques, collectively referred to as remote sensing, have had an enormous impact on our ability to reveal past landscapes and disseminate knowledge about those landscapes. The results of this work can be both visually exciting and intellectually engaging.

This two day conference brings together a series of speakers to showcase these techniques and the uses to which they can be put. This conference will specifically explore how remote sensing and its results can be used within the sectors of:

Heritage management and legislation
Education including: secondary, third level and continual development
Community heritage and citizen science
