Bridging Remote Sensing and GIS
4 - 5 July 2006, Salzburg University, Austria
Over the last years, advances in computer technology, earth observation sensors and GIScience have led to the emerging field of „Object-based Image Analysis” (OBIA). The need for timely and accurate geo-spatial information is steadily increasing due to changing requirements of the society at a global dimension. It is necessary to synchronize technologies and harmonize approaches related to the acquisition, processing, and retrieval of multi-sensor, multi-spectral, multi-resolution data from various sensors. Moreover, the advancement of feature recognition and advanced image analysis techniques facilitates the extraction of thematic information, for policy making support and informed decisions.The availability of such data and the increasing use of geo-information for sustainable economic development and protection of the environment have catalyzed the development of new methods to exploit image information more ‘intelligently’.
Interoperability Day
30 June 2006, University of Edinburgh, Scotland
The 'Interoperability Day' event is being held in association with an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) meeting hosted by EDINA National Datacentre.
OGC and ISO standards such as Geography Markup Language (GML), Web Map Service (WMS) and Web Feature Service (WFS) provide the interoperability essential to build Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) at different levels (from European to national) all over the globe. This is an opportunity to learn lessons from acknowledged international experts on the benefits of using open standards and best international practice when implementing SDI components. This event will of be of interest to both those who plan and those who implement systems which involve sharing and using Geographic Information across the internet. It is likely to be of interest across both the public and private sectors.
