The aim of the International
Conference on LiDAR Technology and Remote Sensing Applications (LiDAR 2009), which will be
held in Russia from 11 to 13 November 2011, is to provide a platform for
academics and engineers in LiDAR technology and remote sensing application areas to meet,
exchange ideas, and establish professional networks. It is a forum to focus
on specific disciplinary research, as well as on multi-disciplinary studies.
The uniqueness of LiDAR and remote sensing is that it crosses narrowly defined subject areas
and gathers researchers from not only technical areas, but also from areas
which use the technology.
The conference site, Vladivostok, a
naval outpost was founded in 1859 by Count Nikolay Muravyov-Amursky, who
named it after the model of Vladikavkaz, a Russian fortress in the Caucasus.
The city's economy was given a boost in 1903, with the completion of the
Trans-Siberian Railway which connected Vladivostok to Moscow and Europe. As
the main naval base of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, the city was closed to
foreigners during the Soviet years and wasn't open until 1998.
During the past few years, LiDAR
technology has migrated from laboratory to a highly cost effective practical
mapping tool with wide raging of applications, such as measuring uplift in
geology, monitoring glaciers and coastal change, measuring the speed of
atmospheric winds, acquiring wind speed & turbulence in renewable energy
sector, estimating phytoplankton fluorescence and generally biomass in the
surface layers of the ocean, measuring vehicle speed and target
identification. .
