Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) recently hosted a pivotal conference on photogrammetry and remote sensing, gathering global experts to discuss the latest advancements in these fields. The Annual Conference for the Mid-South Regional Chapter of the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) showcased innovative research and practical applications, highlighting the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance data processing and analysis. This fusion of technologies is transforming automated image recognition, land cover classification, and change detection.
About The Conference
This year, the event focused on the use of remotely sensed data for mapping, monitoring and modeling Earth to understand climate security. For example, it highlighted the use of drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in photogrammetry. Experts delved into regulatory challenges, technological advancements, and best practices for capturing high-resolution imagery and generating precise 3D models. The discussions underscored the growing importance of UAVs in environmental monitoring, urban planning, and disaster management.
The conference also emphasized the need for international collaboration. Representatives from various countries shared their experiences and perspectives, fostering a spirit of cooperation and knowledge exchange. This global collaboration is essential for addressing complex challenges such as climate change, natural disasters, and urbanization. For more details on the event, visit the ORNL website.
