Emerging Sensor and Data Working Group

Lead: Dr. Matthew Hutchinson matt.hutchinson@woolpert.com
Assistant Lead: TBD

Vision

To increase the use and understanding of new aerial and satellite-based data for remote sensing by facilitating education, training, and resources to the public and private sectors.

Mission
Access to data and information that can inform how stakeholders can solve tangible, real-world problems using new technology


Demystify the use of sensors that may not yet be considered mainstream across the majority of remote sensing verticals / user domains


Increase the awareness of the tools and workflows needed to exploit these emerging sensors and data  


Objectives

Provide a bridge between academia, industry and the vendors providing new sensors and data, to increase understanding and accelerate adoption of the new technology


Enable all remote sensing users to better 

Increase membership in ASPRS by offering opportunities specific to members (individuals and organizations) related to data access, testing and updates.


Utilize the Joint Agency Commercial Imagery Evaluation (JACIE) initiative as a means to share information and communicate with the remote sensing community around calibration and validation.
