U.v. Helava Award

摘要

The U.V. Helava Award, sponsored by Elsevier BV and Leica Geosystems GIS & Mapping, LLC, is a prestigious ISPRS Award established in 1998 to encourage and stimulate submission to the JSPRS Journal of high-quality scientific papers by individual authors or groups. The aim is to promote and advertise the journal, and to honour the outstanding contribution made by Dr Uuno V. Helava to research and development in photogrammetry and remote sensing. The award is presented to author(s) of the best paper written in English and published exclusively in the ISPRS Journal during the four-year period from January of a Congress year to December of the year preceding the next Congress. The award consists of a monetary grant of SFr. 10,000, and a plaque. Submissions for the award are evaluated by a five-member jury of eminent scientific experts in the main topics covered by the journal. For each year of the four-year evaluation period the best paper is selected, and one of these four will receive the U.V. Helava Award. The third such will be presented at the 21th ISPRS Congress to be held in Beijing from 3rd to 11th July 2008.
