Remote sensing is a fast-growing technology with many scientific and practical applications. Starting from scientific and other public sector interests, remote sensing has become a multibillion-dollar industry with applications hardly conceived of a few decades ago, such as surveillance and mapping, utilizing high-resolution imaging, disaster response, mineral exploitation, water quality monitoring, environmental management, etc. Millions use these data routinely through the Internet to plan travel, outings, and otherwise simplify their daily lives. Remote sensing also remains critical to increasing our understanding of planet Earth and the challenges mankind faces from global warming and climate change. The development and use of highly sophisticated sensors on satellites and aerial and suborbital platforms as well as on the ground, together with adapted signal and image processing, made these developments possible. The 17th SPIE Remote Sensing will be co-located with the sixth SPIE Security+Defence. Explore new opportunities to collaborate with partners from other fields of activity. Showcase your multidisciplinary research in a major international forum.
Over the past 16 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. At every meeting more than 25 countries are represented; this gives 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 2010 symposium in Toulouse, France, is the seventeenth in series and follows last year's successful symposium in Berlin, Germany. This year, we offer ten conferences focusing on the most exciting and prosperous areas in this field. Each conference will include oral and poster presentations with top researchers as invited speakers. The conferences are designed to meet the scientific, technical, and business needs of the remote sensing community.
Don't miss the opportunity to take part in this outstanding event in the home base of the European aerospace industry, in historical Toulouse. We cordially invite you to participate, and together we will strive to make it a symposium of the highest quality.
