Intergeo 2006 - Preview

10th - 12th October, Munich, Germany

‘Knowledge and Action for the Earth’ is the theme of Intergeo 2006, the annual geodesy and geo-information conference and trade-fair organised in association with the German Association of Surveying (DVW) and taking place from 10th to 12th October. Roaming as it does annually from one major city in Germany to another, Intergeo this year settles in Munich, world-renowned Bavarian capital of science, technology, arts and culture and, last but not least, the October Beer Festivals.

Almost fifteen thousand visitors are expected to come together at the Neue Messe Convention Centre, the same number as attended the ESRI International User Conference in August. This year is the twelfth Intergeo, held within the boundaries of Germany, and with its almost five hundred exhibitors it has strong international status and exposure. It is claimed to be the largest international conference and trade-fair in the world for geo-desy, geo-information and land management. By offering a mixture of seminars, forums and exhibition, Intergeo provides professionals with the opportunity to obtain a broad overview of innovations, developments and trends in the rapidly evolving geomatics industry. From a time perspective, Intergeo will be embedded in the 23rd International FIG Congress, taking place from 8th to 13th October with the theme ‘Shaping the Change’. Running the conference and trade-fair in parallel with the four-yearly FIG Congress gives the event even greater international exposure.


This exhibition preview offers a quick look at the specialities and novelties on offer from about forty geomatics firms. Of course, it is impossible to cover here all the exhibitors who will be presenting products and services. Since Intergeo claims to be the largest event in the world of its kind we have selected enterprises with a strong international focus.

In this preface we would also like to briefly highlight the development of a new German earth-
observation satellite, Terra SAR-X, to be launched just three weeks after Intergeo 2006, on 31st October 2006. It will begin sending data to Earth in early 2007. The five-year mission is a public-
private partnership between the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and EADS Astrium GmbH, the latter constructing the satellites. Infoterra GmbH is responsible for commercial marketing. The data will serve scientific and commercial interests. Soon after the launch of Terra SAR-X another German space initiative will be realised: RapidEye, to be put into orbit early in 2007. This earth-
observation system consists of five satellites equipped with optical sensors and will be able to capture each spot on the Earth every 24 hours. These developments clearly demonstrate that earth imaging has reached the age of maturity.


We hope that this preview may help you navigate through the abundance of information that will without doubt engulf you as a participant. And the real surveyors among us know that land surveying and beer drinking have enjoyed a close partnership for centuries now. Munich will provide an exquisite opportunity to experience and renew it.

Argus Geotech
The luminescent levelling rod with scale-factor correction is a new concept developed and patented by Argus GeoTech (Germany) and will be showcased at Intergeo. The carrier of the scale-code is a plastic plate or foil. The thermal behaviour of the carrier is measured by temperature sensors and saved on a CompactFlash card during the levelling process. The scale-factor corrections for each observation point are computed by post-processing software based on a precise temperature calibration of the rod. Using digital levels, the matching of the data takes place by means of the time or by manual input of the displayed temperature. High-precision levelling in retaining walls, tunnels, mines and at night is now possible.
