REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF PHOTOGRAMMETRIC, REMOTE SENSING AND SPATIAL INFORMATION SCIENCES IN MALAYSIA

摘要

The acquisition of remote sensing data for the government sector in Malaysia is made through MACRES which acts as repository for Landsat, SPOT and Radarsat data. This report attempts to highlight the activities in photogrammetry, remote sensing and spatial data sciences undertaken in Malaysia since 1996. The focus will be on the activities of photogrammetry in the Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia (JUPEM) and the Departments of Land and Survey (DLS) in the two East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak; and remote sensing activities in the Malaysian Centre for Remote Sensing (MACRES).
