ANNOUNCEMENT
Introducing the New PSR-1100
f
from
SPECTRAL
EVOLUTION
. Looking for a spectroradiometer that you can
use in the field for vegetation studies, agricultural research,
crop health analysis, biomass research, studies of nitrogen
levels, and more?
The newly re-designed PSR-1100
f
is SPECTRAL
EVOLUTION’s smallest, lightest, full featured field
spectroradiometer. It has a spectral range of 320-1100nm
and can be used with a laptop or handheld microcomputer,
or as a standalone instrument with its built-in keypad and
LCD display. The PSR-1100
f
is well suited for remote sensing
and ground truthing in a very wide range of applications. It
provides a 25°, one meter fiber optic cable with an industry-
standard FC connections and allows the user to select from
1,2,3,4,5,8 and 10° field of view (FOV) lenses, or connect to a
handheld contact probe or our unique leaf clip.
The PSR-1100
f
can be equipped with our innovative leaf clip
for reflectance measurements. The leaf clip includes a built-
in reflectance panel, small spot, and low power illumination.
It allows you to measure a small leaf without damaging the
sample. You can also attach a handheld contact probe with
a comfortable pistol grip, a built-in light source, and integral
power triggering cable, well-suited for measurement and
analysis in the field.
With DARWin SP Data Acquisition software, researchers
also have access to pull-down menus for the USGS spectral
library, as well as 19 vegetation indices, including NDVI, SR,
SAVI, ARVI, EVI, IPVI, PRI, WBI, PAR, and more.

URISA
and the International Association of Assessing Officers
(IAAO) arepleasedtoannounce the2018GIS /CAMATechnologies
Conference, March 19-22, 2018 in Houston, Texas. For more than
twenty years, the organizations have hosted an annual conference
that assists assessment and appraisal professionals in visualizing
how they can workmore effectively through the use of technology.
This conference explores the important role that the integration
of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Computer Assisted
Mass Appraisal (CAMA) systems plays in providing access
to data and analysis of information for better decision making
within a jurisdiction. GIS/CAMA 2018 will feature an exhibition,
pre-conference workshops, keynote speakers and a substantial
educational program which is developed through a review of
proposals received.
Full and half-day conference workshops will be scheduled on
Monday, March 19. We welcome workshop topics of interest
at all levels of expertise, from beginner to expert. Workshop
proposals are due on or before August 1, 2017.
The 2018 Conference Planning Committee also welcomes
the submission of individual papers, complete sessions,
panels, and lightning talks. All abstracts will be reviewed and
considered for the educational program. We welcome topics of
interest at all levels, from beginner to expert. Presentation
proposals are due on or before October 1, 2017.
