Canadian Institute of Geomatics & Canadian Remote Sensing Society

The Canadian Institute of Geomatics – Association canadienne des sciences géomatiques (CIG-ACSG) has evolved to be a non-profit scientific and technical association and represents the largest and most influential geospatial knowledge network in Canada. Over 50% of its members are senior managers and researchers in government, private sector, academic and NGO organizations. The CIG has long been an active and the representing Canadian member of the ISPRS, ICA and the FIG.

The genesis of remote sensing activities that led to the formation of the Canadian Remote Sensing Society – Société canadienne de télédétection (CRSS-SCT) began in the 1960’s. These activities encompassed government, industry, and educational institutions. Since 1972 the CRSS-SCT has been running the world’s oldest on-going national symposium dedicated to remote sensing.

Euclideon Europe

Euclideon offer a range of products, including its ready-made Geoverse software, designed for users to instantly and effortlessly visualise 3D point cloud data in its geospatial context; its conversion software, which allows users to compress their point-cloud data down to 5-20% of its original size for effortless storage, streaming and use in Geoverse;

SOLIDSCAN converts a laser scan into a solid, photo-realistic representation of the real world. There is no upper limit to the detail that can be reproduced using SOLIDSCAN. Incredibly, Euclideon’s SOLIDSCAN removes moving objects and 90% of the background noise from laser scanned data – only static objects remain. Reflective surfaces like whiteboards and mirrors can now be laser scanned with photo-realistic results. SOLIDSCAN technology creates many new opportunities for scanning organizations.

Congress program

The Congress is divided into multiple sessions of various types. To actively participate (as a presenter) you must submit a contribution to the one of the following sessions:

TECHNICAL & THEME SESSIONS

The Scientific Program of the Congress will offer a wide range of topics, which are incorporated in the present orientations of the ISPRS Technical Commissions and all their Working Groups.

One of the strategy goals of ISPRS is to provide a better forum for National Mapping and Cadastral Agencies to discuss their scientific and technical issues in mapping.

SPACE AGENCY FORUM

ISPRS together with the International Academy of Astronautics will organize the first ISPRS-IAA Space Agency Forum. The Forum provides an ideal platform for Space Agencies for mutual discussions with one of the main community of users of space imagery and scientific community that supports it.

COMMERCIAL SESSIONS

ISPRS encourages companies to organize Exhibitor’s Showcase Sessions and Commercial Sessions to present the latest development of their societies to the ISPRS Congress participants.

TUTORIALS

Half-day or one-day tutorials will take place before the Congress (11 and 12 July). These tutorials are prepared for Congress participants to bring their knowledge up to date or to be introduced to new developments.

SUMMER SCHOOL

Summer school before the Congress will focus among other topics mainly on: LIDAR Measurements and Free softrware for GIS and remote sensing. All Summer school participants must have an accepted paper at the Congress.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY

SOCIAL PROGRAM

The Congress offers social activities every evening such as Welcome Reception, Exhibitors’ Reception, Congress Dinner and more.

For young scientist special social program will be prepared like Young Scientists Ice-Breaker Party, Soccer match and more.

Various optional and technical tours will be offered.


General Information Final program
