AGAIN!
T
he 2015 Joint Agency
Civil/Commercial Imagery
Evaluation (JACIE) Workshop
held in conjunction with the
International Geospatial
Technology Forum (IGTF)
in Tampa, Florida this May
is shaping up to be a very
interesting and informative
workshop.
Focusing on newer systems and the quality and
utility of data that they generate; the JACIE
workshop will hear from over thirty presenters
from across the US and several foreign countries.
Presentations approved to date include results
from newly-launched systems, new processing and
calibration methods, and proposed ventures. In
addition to these technical talks, the JACIE
attendees will hear from senior managers from
the sponsoring agencies, USGS, NASA, USDA
and NOAA, and engage in a question and answer
session with them.
This is the second year the JACIE Workshop
will be co-located with the IGTF Conference. The
organizers of both are looking forward to the
synergy and expertise that these events bring to
this one location. It is exciting times in Remote
Sensing; we look forward to seeing you there!
