ISPRS WG V/7

Innovative Technologies in Training Civil Engineers and Architects

Our Mission

ISPRS Working Group V/7 aims to promote global literacy and advance of innovations in geospatial technologies, mainly in photogrammetry and remote sensing for implementation in the educational process of civil engineers and architects through the development of multidisciplinary educational content that facilitate knowledge exchange between various applied sciences and organizations involved.

We are establishing and soliciting global collaborative network focused on the most efficient ways to integrate professionally and crowdsourced geospatial data into civil and architectural engineering operational workflows. To meet this challenge WG is planning to develop and promote worldwide educational content enabling to provide training and education for geospatial literacy and skills-sets development in civil engineering, environmental and architectural workforce. Special attention will be given to the low-cost close-range photogrammetry, UAS, LIDAR and open-sourced geospatial technologies suitable for the deployment by developing countries. To this end, group is planning to establish collaboration with United Nations University, European and US programs challenged in help to the developing countries.

Finally, WG shares educational content, develops novel educational components of training and education in photogrammetry and remote sensing for civil engineers and architects, organizes joint workshops, symposium and prepares results and recommendations.
