1 Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing Beyond the Centenary Norbert Pfeifer Vienna University of Technology Institute of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing I.P.F.

2 Statements Photogrammetry is completed Professor Rinner, 1970ies Remote Sensing has always been the method of the future Saying in Forest Science Mr. Pfeifer, you are doing too much laser scanning Colleague from TU Graz Old stuff, that never will work, and above all the wrong subject? One photogrammetrists perspective onto the bright future! Vienna, July 4, 2010 Beyond the ISPRS Centenary 2

3 Economic Predictions Mapping Opportunities, Gewin, 2004: Nature 427(6972) 21st Century growth markets seen by US Bureau of Labour Nano-technology Bio-technology Geo-technology The economic value of the Dutch geo-information sector, Castelein et al., 2010: Int.J. Spatial Data Infrastructure Research Geo-Information sector is 0.25% of Dutch GDP Sponsors of ISPRS Centenary Celebration Vienna, July 4, 2010 Beyond the ISPRS Centenary 3

4 Obvious Demands Geoinformation for Disaster and Risk Management, Altan et al. (eds.), 2010: Launched at UNOOSA July 2, Vienna, July 4, 2010 Beyond the ISPRS Centenary 4

12 Omnipresent Geo-data Spatial data infrastructures (SDI) and ubiquituos geo-information Virtual Globes: NASA, Google, Microsoft, Navigation LBS Web 2.0 geodata mash-ups Wiki mapping, collaborative mapping, crowd sourcing, interest driven update stream Free global Geo-data SRTM CBERS, open street map

13 Omnipresent Geo-data ISPRS National SDI Commercial SDI Open-Source SDI Methods for collaboration still open Academic contribution to Open Source GDI very little Free national Orthophotos, US-Lidar for the nation EuroSDR: Crowd sourcing for updating national databases

14 ISPRS Standard Products Input for topographic maps Orthophotos Terrain models 3D city models (roof landscape and facades) Moravské Budějovice Satellite image classifications

15 ISPRS Mission geo-data and 3D models for a sustainable development of the natural and cultural environment How to reach this during the next 100 years? Exploit new sensor technology Increase automation in modeling Adopt new applications Strengthen Sensor Method Application feedback

16 New Sensors Vexcel Patent Vienna, July 4, 2010 Beyond the ISPRS Centenary 16

17 Improve Automation Photogrammetry: Remote Sensing: Lack of Automation Lack of Reliability / Transferability km Efficient represenation and retrieval of implicit and explicit knowledge and experience 2 148,940,000 km Land Vienna, July 4, 2010 Beyond the ISPRS Centenary SPOT Classification by Kressler, Kim, Steinocher 17
