The International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) is a professional organization dedicated to advancing knowledge, techniques, and applications of photogrammetry, remote sensing, and spatial information sciences. Founded in 1910, ISPRS serves as a platform for international cooperation and collaboration among scientists, researchers, practitioners, and professionals in the field of geomatics.
The primary mission of ISPRS is to promote and foster the use of photogrammetry, remote sensing, and related technologies through research, education, and networking opportunities. The society aims to facilitate the exchange of scientific and technical knowledge among its members and the broader geospatial community. ISPRS organizes symposiums, conferences, workshops, and other events where researchers and industry experts share their latest findings, innovations, and applications in the field.
Additionally, ISPRS plays a significant role in developing and maintaining standards and guidelines in photogrammetry and remote sensing. The society collaborates with other international organizations, such as the International Cartographic Association (ICA), the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG), and the International Society for Digital Earth (ISDE), to ensure consistency and interoperability in geospatial data and information.
ISPRS is composed of individual and institutional members from around the world, and it promotes diversity, inclusivity, and equal opportunities among its members. The society also supports the education and training of young professionals and students in the geomatics field, fostering the growth and development of the next generation of scientists and practitioners.
