2015 International Symposium on Remote Sensing kicks off at NCKU
Tainan, Taiwan, April 22, 2015
The 2015 International Symposium on Remote Sensing (ISRS) kicked off at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan, today, with more than 300 experts and scholars exchanging results and ideas.
Prof. San-Cheng Chang, Vice Premier of Executive Yuan of Taiwan, Prof. Huey-Jen Jenny Su, President of NCKU, Prof. Peter Tian-Yuan Shih, President of Chinese Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Prof. Hiroaki Kuze, President of Remote Sensing Society of Japan, Dr. Kwang-Eun Kim, President of Korean Society of Remote Sensing, and Prof. Hajime Fukushima, Co-Chair of the Standing Committee of Environmental Monitoring from Space of East Asia (EMSEA), attended the opening ceremony to give their remarks.
“This is the first time ISRS is held in Taiwan,” according to Prof. San-Cheng Chang, Vice Premier of Executive Yuan of Taiwan.
He said in his opening remarks, “Surveying and remote sensing technology has changed a lot over the last 30 years, and becomes more automatic, intelligent and more high-tech. I still remember the days I carry the surveying equipment on my back, and roaming the campus doing the survey.”
“But now in the campus you cannot see civil engineering students doing the survey anymore. It’s a pity but it also show how the technology evolved over the years.
Now the technology has become so advanced, and I think it’s fair to say that remote sensing is one of the high-tech we used today,” Chang added.
NCKU President Huey-Jen Jenny Su on behalf of NCKU welcomes all the guests traveling long distances to the university.
She said, “The symposium covers subjects related to the development of remote sensing techniques and various application fields such as land, ocean, atmosphere, GIS, GPS and Photogrammetry, Microwave and Lidar techniques, and so on,”
“Processing the remote sensing data has become more complicated, much more intelligent,” according to Chang. “Once you open the geographic data to the society, the community can leverage many applications, extend application to some areas that we never thought would be used before,” he added.
Su noted, “As someone who has worked on the issues of climate related global health concerns, I’d like to express personal gratitude because I have been personally benefited from the knowledge, skills of the experts in your field.”
She hopes that this symposium will continually offer opportunities for all participants to form personal ties and above all to exchange results, and ideas from which will formulate the advancement of our future.
On behalf of the Standing Committee of Environmental Monitoring from Space of East Asia (EMSEA), Fukushima said, The EMSEA is the root of this ISRS conference, which was initiated in 1991 as a series of Korea-Japan workshop on remote sensing lead by two Professors, the late Prof. Soon-Dal Choi and the late Prof. Mikio Takagi.
He also said that he’s like to address the following message to young researchers: “Please mingle with other people, behave active in expressing yourself, and enjoy your international experience”.
The topics of ISRS 2015 cover sensors and platforms, remote sensing applications, mapping, Geographical Information Sciences (GIS), education, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), hazard mitigation, and method development and image processing.
The three-day symposium will be ended on April 24 with a closing ceremony at noon.
