NATIONAL REPORT OF AUSTRALIAN PHOTOGRAMMETRIC AND REMOTE SENSING SOCIETY 1988-1992 TO INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND REMOTE SENSING, WASHINGTON, AUGUST 1992

摘要

The Remote Sensing Association of Australasia has held successful conferences at intervals of 3 years, the most recent being held in Perth in October 1990. This conference will be referred to later in this report under Commission VII activities. The interval for the national remote sensing conferences will change in 1992 to 2 years with the next conference being scheduled for 2-6 November 1992 in Wellington, New Zealand. The First Australian Photogrammetric Conference (FAPS) was held in Sydney in November 1991 and proved to be very successful. Sessions during the conference were devoted to a workshop of ISPRS Commission V. This Conference attracted some 120 delegates, 11 manufacturers who displayed new product lines and over 60 abstracts were received. A total of 55 papers were presented at the Conference which lasted for 3 days. The main theme of the Conference was close-range photogrammetry and its theory and applications in Australia and New Zealand. Some papers on other topics were also presented. Highlights of the conference were Invited Lectures by prominent authorities such as Professor Armin Gruen from Switzerland and Dr Clive Fraser from USA. Proceedings of both these conferences are available through the Society address.
