INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND REMOTE SENSING (ISPRS) XVII CONGRESS - WASHINGTON, D.C., USA - 1992 MEMBER REPORT FOR CANADA 1988 - 1992

摘要

Since the last Congress in 1988 there has been an increase in activities in the field of photogrammetry and remote sensing in Canada. One need only mention the new efforts in global change research initiatives to appreciate the scope of these new developments. This report highlights some of Canada's activities and achievements over the period since the last Congress. Other activities in Canada have also been reported directly through the general Commission. The last four years have seen continuing growth in the Commission IV subject area. The differences between automated cartography and spatial database concepts are more widely, and better, understood. Spatial data distribution standards are under continuing improvement, and interim standards are frequently used.
