Norcross, GA — Leica Geosystems Geospatial Imaging announces its participation in the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) Fall Conference, October 28 - November 1, 2007 at the Westin Hotel, Ottawa, Canada.
Exhibiting in booth #501, Leica Geosystems is showcasing several solutions implementing Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs), including the technologies of RedSpider Suite, Leica TITAN and Image Web Server (IWS). These SOAs solve the various business problems associated with discovering, describing, managing and delivering intelligent geospatial data products to a variety of applications.
Leica Geosystems is also highlighting Leica Photogrammetry Suite (LPS) 9.1, the industry’s leading integrated photogrammetric product for preparing data, and ERDAS IMAGINE 9.1, the foremost remote sensing solution for analyzing geospatial imagery.
“This conference provides an important forum for discussing the collaboration of geospatial technologies,” said Richard McKay, Senior Vice President, Global Sales, Leica Geosystems Geospatial Imaging. “In addition to featuring the industry’s leading photogrammetry and remote sensing products, we are also excited to introduce several new solutions, further enhancing our enterprise-enabled offerings.”
ASPRS and the Canadian Remote Sensing Society (CRSS – a society member of the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute) organized this conference and established the theme, “Our Common Borders - Safety, Security and the Environment through Remote Sensing.” This conference showcases mapping, imaging techniques and associated remote sensing projects in both countries that are promoting and enhancing cross-border geospatial cooperation, particularly in the areas of: U.S. and Canadian contributions to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) and the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS), cross-border environmental and spatial data infrastructure work, homeland security and the International Joint Commission.

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.What message are we sending to senior level decision makers about the importance and value of Spatial Data Infrastructure - SDI - if we keep misrepresenting what SDI is or is all about?
In previous editorials in this magazine I have touched on various SDI issues, especially now that the pan-European SDI has achieved a legally mandated status within the European Union's 27 Member States. Yet I fear that the Geographic Information community - or communities, for there are many - continue to… More…
