8:30 - 9:45 am
ASPRS/ISPRS Special Session 8
Special Panel Session —Primary Data Acquisition Sensors and Requirements with a Gulf Oil Spill Showcase
(Sponsored by the ASPRS Primary Data Acquisition Division-PDAD)
Moderators:Robert Ryan,MSU/I2R Corp., and Brian Huberty, USFWS
KEY WORDS: Cameras, Sensors, Thermal, Radar, SAR, Lidar, multispectral, applications
This is design to show the primary data acquisition system technologies and their abilities and have discussions related to their use and application requirements while presenting some real world data and application in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The session is design to show selection technologies that have important roles in an emergency response and earth observation remote sensing role. The goal is to provide a dynamic forum to address current systems and future developments in important, rapidly evolving technology capabilities.
Requirements for this session:
Panelists:
Marc Thomas/Bob Kroutil EPA ASPECT
Brett Thomassie Digital Globe
Dave Fuhr Airborne Data Systems
Larry Handley USGS
Time:
1.5 hour session

Special Panel Session –GPS Georeferencing and DatumIssues (Sponsored by the ASPRS Primary Data Acquisition Division and the ISPRS Commission I)
Moderators:Mohamed Mostafa, Applanix and Greg Stensaas, USGS
KEY WORDS: Cameras, Sensors, IMU, Datum, GPS, Guidelines, Procedures, Control,
This session is about aspects of direct georeferencing for Active and Passive Sensors and associated GPS control. The session will address standards and protocols in direct georeferencing and sensor orientation including the current and future datum use in the aerial market. The session will discuss topics like co-registration of heterogeneous data sets for integrated sensor navigation - orientation and calibration, and georeferencing by integrated sensor orientation - models and adjustment procedures.
Requirements for this session:
All discussions will be transcribed and made available on the PDAD web site.
Panelists:
1.5 hour session

Quality Assurance Processes for Creating useful Data and Results
Moderator: Mike Benson, U S. Geological Survey, USA
(Sponsored by the ASPRS Primary Data Acquisition Division - PDAD)
Aerial imaging is in a period of rapid growth and change with new technologies, new customers,and new missions requirements. Digital airborne sensors have matured over the last fewyears and have been gaining acceptance by the mapping community. This is evidenced by: 1)the enhancement of current remote sensing systems by the manufacturers; 2) the manufacturersintroducing new sensors into the marketplace that address the needs of a particular sectorof the user market not previously addressed; 3) and the amount of data being collected. Inmany cases, the collection system may have methods that are designed to help the data collectorsand current owners of the data may be able to obtain enough information to use the data.However, the quality and long term usefulness of the acquired data in comparison to otherdata types may be an issue. In addition, IADIWG and LiDAR quality assurance processes willbe emphasized.
This session will have four panels with short presentations and discussions. All informationwill be made available on the PDAD web site.
Requirements for this session:
IADIWG QA Processes, LiDAR QA processes, Accuracy and Interoperability
This session will have 5 panel members with short presentations and discussions. All information will be made available on the PDAD web site. The presentations should be 15-20 minutes with time for panel discussion and questions.
Panelists:
Mapping Data Quality and Accuracy - Qassim Abdullah, Fugro EarthData Inc.
Digital Imagery Quality Assurance Plan - Greg Stensaas, USGS
Quality Assessment Process - Chuck O’Hara, Spatial Information Solutions, Inc.
LIDAR Application and Accuracy Issues - Chuck Oleson, Michigan Tech Research Institute (ASPRS Honorary Member)
LIDAR Data Quality - Lewis Graham, GeoCue Corporation
Time:
1.5 hour session
