TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS OF REMOTE SENSING
Welcome to Belém for a great scientific conference on remote sensing
ISPRS Technical Commission III is dedicated to the technologies and applications of remote sensing. It is jointly hosted by Brazil and France from 2022 to 2026 and its mid-term symposium will be held in Belém, Brazil, on 4-8 November 2024, together with the Latin-American remote sensing symposium SELPER and several tutorials and thematic workshops, including South America Water from Space IV and Geo-Information for Disaster Management (Gi4DM).
The symposium will cover a very wide range of topics related to remote sensing: from satellite image acquisition and processing techniques (space missions, sensors, algorithms, etc.), with sessions devoted to new missions (SWOT, Biomass etc.), to a wide variety of applications in Earth and planetary sciences, climate, environment, and society, with a particular focus on the Amazon and tropical environments.
The symposium will be the best place to showcase the work of the academic and industrial research communities in the field of remote sensing. Public or private organisations engaged in the development or use of remote sensing methods will have the opportunity to learn about the latest advances in this field and to promote their activities on an international scale. Beyond technical sessions dedicated to oral or poster presentations, exciting keynote lectures and round tables will address the challenges to be met to enable space missions and data processing techniques to make an effective contribution to the knowledge of territories and the preservation of the social and natural environment.
Belém is located in the Amazon, a region that attracts the attention of the global community. Remote sensing is being widely used to deal with the major urban planning and environmental protection challenges facing the city and its region, which will host COP30 in 2025.
