Digital Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing ‘95 June
X-30,
1995, St. Petersburg -Great Lakes, Russia
Recent political changes in the former Soviet Union facilitated the organization 9f ai1 interiieiisnal con-
ference in photogrammetry and remote sensing in Russia, for the first time after the ISPRS Commission Ill Sympo: ium in Moscow 1978. The idea for such a conference in Russia was born in August 1994 and almost F. year later, June 25-30, 1995, the Conference ori Digital Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing was held on a comfortable river-cruising ship, foilowing the scenic route Saint Petersburg-Vaiaam islandKiji Island-Petrozavodsk-Saint Petersburg. This route allowed the conference participants to combine scientific work with some spectacular sightseeing activities. Delegates had ample time to freely discuss scientific matters while enjoying the beauty of the Ladoga and Onega lakes, and the Neva and Svir rivers, during the exciting period known as the “white nights”, when the sun does not fully set. The conference was organized by the State Research Institute of Aviation Systems (GisNIIAS), Moscow. Experts and users from the fields of photogrammetry, machine vision and remote sensing from universities, private industry, governmental and military organitations attended the conference. The objectives were to discuss recent scientific and technical advancements, to study new applications, to introduce Russian scientists to developments from abroad and conversely, to expose the state-of-the-art of Russian equipment and developments in digital photogrammetry and remote sensing. The concept of this cruising conference was so appealing that it was fully subscribed months in advance, with 44 Russian and 41 foreign participants from eight countries. The scientific program consisted of 31 papers, presented in 8 technical sessions and one poster session. In the poster session most of the 16 papers were presented as software demonstrations on PC or workstation. In these demonstrations the participants had the opportunity to discuss in detail relevant ISPRSJournal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, SO(G): @ 19% ElsevierScience B.V. All rights reserved.

scientific problems after a brief plenary presentation. Coupled with a generous time frame, the status of the poster session was enhanced, and proved to be an excellent platform to display recent research, mostly from wiihin Russia. To the relief of everyone, the PCs and workstations had no difficulty with the power supply system onboard our cruise ship Bilinsky. The rooms set aside for technical and poster sessions were actually the night club/dance floor and bar areas during the evening, but served their daytime scientific purpose quite well. in the technical sessions a wide range of current topics such as sensors and sensor calibration, airborne platforms, digital stations and components, aerial triangulation, image processing, object and surface reconstruction, road extraction and image sequence analysis, environmental modelling and monitoring, and processing of space and airborne images were discussed. In various papers, members of the GosNllAS group introduced the equipment features of their airborne platforms (satellites, planes, helicopters and balloons), emphasizing the multispectral scanner IRTIS-200R and on the portable on-ground hard- and soft-ware systems. Major topics included the analysis of image sequences recorded by mobile systems for 3-D reconstruction of road curvature and surface structure, digital aerial triangulation on commercial and experimental digital stations, Russian software developments for photogrammetric applications on a PC, airborne videoprofiling and a multi-sensor mobile surveying van/car for automatic G&data acquisition. Only a couple of papers were not presented in English and these were excellently translated by interpreters who ensured that language differences were never a barrier to effective communication between delegates at any time of the day or “white night”. The conference was very well organized by Sergei Zheltov and his GosNllAS team. Social highlights were the daily on-board music entertainment and the night dance bar, excursions to historic Russian orthodox religious monuments on Valaam and Kihi islands, a short visit in Petrozavodsk, and a guided one-day sightseeing

In 1995 it was for the first time that this well respected meeting was held in a larger international context as “Cambridge Conference for National apping Qrganiavid zations” from July 25 to August 1, 1995. Rhind, the Director of the Ordnance Survey, opened the conference followed by two keynote p Nay Htun from UNDP New York, who stress for basic map information for sustainable development, and by Mt. Hugh O’Donnell of Geomatics Canada, who reported on the rapid changes of technology and the pressures of lean management imposed by governments worldwide. The topics of the conference, arranged by prepublished invited papers followed by discussion periods were: - The status of topographic mapping across the world. - Global mapping issues. - Land reform and cadastral reform. - The effects of emerging technology on data collection. - The effects of emerging technology on data handling and data management. - The reform of national mapping organizations. - The relationship between the public and private sectors.
