The ISPRS is an organisation devoted to the development of international cooperation for the advancement of remote sensing and its applications and the ISPRS Student Consortium is an important connection between academic research and the industry.
Winners of the competition will benefit from the wide area coverage of 22m resolution DMC data and the increased temporal resolution of the DMC constellation. Our data is used for all sorts of applications from forestry to urban planning and we look forward to seeing how the winners use this data.
To be in with a chance of winning, students must put together a presentation on their proposed use of the imagery and why they think it’s worthy of study. Competition winners will be selected by an ISPRS committee and awarded up to 10 tiles each from the DMCii catalogue.
The deadline is almost upon us (31st April), so if you’re an ISPRS Student Consortium member and interested, get you entry in now by submitting a 1-2 page proposal by e-mail to elenastudent (at) hotmail (dot) com.
