ISPRS Technical Commission I

Sensor Systems

Mission

Sensor systems, as the most important sources for geo-information are becoming more ubiquitous, accurate, self-connected and intelligent. With the traditional sensors being improved through different methods, new-type tracks are emerging in various ways. Aerospace telescopes, thousands of beam laser altimetry, Ka/P-band InSAR sensors, micro cameras, high accuracy thermal sensors, mobile perception etc., are growing rapidly. More and more models and algorithms accelerate the development from prototype to practical. Low-cost miniaturization, integration, especially intelligence, lead the trend of sensor systems.

TC1 will keep a close watch on the sensor technology. It will provide a platform for scientists and specialists to discuss and communicate research progress. The themes should cover the concepts, methods, designs, and standards of conventional and innovative sensors systems, including optical, hyperspectral, thermal, LiDAR, SAR and their integration. TC1 will concern the prototyping, modelling, calibration, validation and applications of various advanced sensors and systems. It will also bring the opportunity to the applicants to use new technology.
