The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Internation Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (isprs)

President’s Invitation

Every four years, the Commission V Symposium is one of the main events of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. And we feel very honored to host this event in Corfu in 2002.
Commission V follows a vertical approach developing theories, pursuing research and implementing it all, to a wide scientific spectrum of close-range Photogrammetry applications. This approach attracts the interest of many researchers, coming also from disciplines other than Photogrammetry, establishing thus Commission V as a market-place of ideas and a world-wide scientific forum for discussing research contributions and practical implementations.
We feel that the coming Symposium will be a focal point for both ISPRS and associated organizations, for the communication of ideas and research progress in interdisciplinary areas where close-range imaging is used for 3D scene reconstruction and visualization.
We picked the lovely Corfu, as the Symposium location. A mythical, fascinating island, unique in its kind in Greece, Odysseus’ last stop before arriving in Ithaca. We want to create a relaxing and friendly atmosphere to host this fruitful brainstorming. We are sure you are all going to enjoy it.
On behalf of the Organizing and Scientific Committes I wish to cordially invite each one of you to enjoy the Greek culture, to meet old and new colleagues and contribute to this special event.
