Digital Photogrammetric Technologies Conference open for Registration

Registration of participants of the IXth International Scientific and Technical Conference "From imagery to map: digital photogrammetric technologies" is open.

The Conference has been held for nine years and a range of participants each year is increasing. Permanent participants of the conference are representatives of the FSUE "Goszemcadastrysiomka" - VISHAGI (Russia), the Federal Real Estate Cadastre Agency of Russia, the Federal Agency of Geodesy and Cartography (Russia), NP AGP "Meridian +" (Russia), VNIIGAZ (Russia), JSC "Surgutneftegas" (Russia), EUROSENSE, Leica Geosystems (Switzerland), Spot Image (France), MapWorld Technologies Limited (India), GEODIS (Czech Republic), GeoEye (USA) and many others (the list of participants in 2008).

In 2007-2008 reports on current topics of development of photogrammetry and remote sensing were presented by recognized authorities in this area, such as Gordon Petrie (UK), Gottfried Konecny (Germany), Franz Leberl (Austria).

The Conference is the perfect opportunity to learn the latest news in the area of airborne and space digital cameras, remote sensing data, software development, practice of using digital photogrammetry in different economic activities and in integrated geoinformatic solutions based on remote sensing data.

The heads and leading specialists from Russian land cadastre and cartography state agencies, gas and oil enterprises as well as representatives of foreign photogrammetric, GIS and remote sensing companies will participate in the Conference.

Conference organizer: Racurs (Moscow, Russia)

Conference topics:

• Digital photogrammetry:

- Current state and main lines of development;

- Technologies and facilities of remote sensing data processing. Modern software solutions;

- Digital photogrammetric technologies for practical applications.

• Remote sensing methods and techniques:

- Advanced survey systems - market review;

- Modern digital aerial cameras. Direct georeferencing methods, airborne GPS/IMU;

- Derivation and applications of satellite imagery;

- Technological features of synthetic aperture radar survey.

Within the frame of Conference the IXth International PHOTOMOD User Conference will be held. For the participation in the contest it is necessary to send to Racurs a brief project description.
