- Our
mission:
- Our working group
aims at informing and activating people interested in remote sensing-related
policies, treaties and data access both from institutions, governmental
and non-governmental beorganisations and private companies. We are focused
on promoting the goals of the WG as expressed in its terms of reference
by means of various activities and events and in co-operation with ISPRS,
other national and international organisations and Geomatics-related
firms.
Resolutions:
Resolution VIII.10
Support of Implementation of International Policies and Treaties
-
investigations and development of vegetation (especially forest),
soil and other thematic mapping techniques be pursued;
-
the use of remote sensing data at national and international levels,
with focus on carbon fixing and desertification, be studied;
-
the
use of remote sensing data for enhancing identification, detection,
and rapid response techniques be promoted;
-
ISPRS
coordinate with the International Global change Atmospheric Chemistry
(IGAC) Programme;
-
an
ad-hoc committee be established to coordinate ISPRS contributions
to studies of applying remote sensing for international policies
and treaties.
Resolution VIII.12
Continuity and Open Access to Moderate Resolution Earth Observation
Data
-
Working Group be assigned to help define an optimum constellation
of complementary satellites to meet Earth observation requirements
on a long term basis;
-
the
WG liaise with IPAC, the GEO Ad hoc Working Group, the UN-OOSA
Action Teams, and other related national and international initiatives
to promote and voice the technical and data policy needs of ISPRS
Members;
-
the WG work towards facilitating access to EO data to all those
who need it for sustainable development activities at a reasonable
cost.
- Use of remotely sensed
imagery by commercial satellites for the
verification of treaties.
- Study the potential
and limits of commercial satellite imagery with regard to transparency,
data reliability and continuity of data availability.
- Analayzing present and
future trends of national and international remote sensing programmes;
remote sensing satellites and security; and policies.
- Coordinate ISPRS contributions
to studies of applying remote sensing
for international policies and treaties.
- Cooperate with other
ISPRS working groups to support international cooperation and policy
making for the implementation of optimum constellation of complementary
satellites to meet Earth Observation requirements on a long term
basis.
- Cooperate with IPAC
and coordinate efforts to produce ISPRS white
papers on space policies.
