Operational Remote Sensing Applications: Opportunities, Progress and Challenges

‘Operational RS Applications: Opportunities, Progress and Challenges’ is the main theme for the ISPRS TC-VIII mid-term symposium which will be held at Hyderabad, India, from 9-12 December 2014. The mid-term symposium will focus on the operational applications of remote sensing in the nine Working Groups [http://www2.isprs.org/commissions/comm8/wgs.html] of the TC.  Participants are encouraged to share success stories, methodologies, challenges and experiences gained in the process of undertaking remote sensing applications. The focus will be on the entire chain of RS-based application services as well as methodology gaps and likely application scenarios with many missions in the pipeline.  Contributions are also invited on the challenges associated with the standardisation of methods, operationalisation, upscaling and in-house use by governments, official agencies and other stakeholders for timely and effective decision-making.

Discussions at the mid-term symposium will also form the basis for the ISPRS Congress to be held in 2016, enabling an improved roadmap for enhanced utilisation of the remote-sensing products and services. The mid-term event will organise the sessions in the form of presentations of scientific and technical papers, technical tours, scientific and commercial exhibitions as well as TC VIII Working Group officers’ meetings, besides bringing out publications.
