Plan now to Participate!
We cordially invite you to participate in the 2012 SPIE Remote Sensing Symposium.
Over the past 18 years SPIE Remote Sensing has become the largest and most prestigious annual international meeting on this subject in Europe; each year sees a comprehensive coverage of scientific topics, applications, sensors, systems, and satellite platforms. With more than 25 countries represented at every meeting; the event provides a unique opportunity for scientists, engineers, programme managers, and policy makers from around the world to recognize the trends and achievements in this area, exchange ideas, and present and discuss the most recent developments and applications.
The 2012 symposium in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, is the nineteenth in series and follows last year's successful symposium in Prague, Czech Republic. This year we offer eleven conferences covering the most exciting and prosperous areas in the field of remote sensing:
- Remote Sensing for Agriculture, Ecosystems, and Hydrology
- Remote Sensing of the Ocean, Sea Ice, Coastal Waters, and Large Water Regions
- Sensors, Systems, and Next-generation Satellites
- Remote Sensing of Clouds and the Atmosphere
- Optics in Atmospheric Propagation and Adaptive Systems
- SAR Image Analysis, Modeling, and Techniques
- Image and Signal Processing for Remote Sensing
- Remote Sensing for Environmental Monitoring, GIS Applications, and Geology
- Lidar Technologies, Techniques, and Measurements for Atmospheric Remote Sensing
- Special Joint Session on Remote Sensing and Natural Disasters: Remote Sensing 2012
- Special Joint Session on Airborne Remote Sensing: Remote Sensing 2012
The conferences are designed to meet the scientific, technical, and business needs of the remote sensing community, and each conference will include oral and poster presentations with top researchers as invited speakers.
The 19th SPIE Remote Sensing Symposium will be co-located with the ninth SPIE Symposium on Security+Defence. Explore new opportunities to collaborate with partners from other fields of activity. Showcase your multidisciplinary research in a major international forum.
The Organising Committee of the SPIE Europe Remote Sensing Symposium invites you to submit papers to this exciting meeting to make it a symposium of the highest quality. We look forward to seeing you in historical Edinburgh!
