On February 18, 2004, the British Columbia Chapter of the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA BC) hosted a one day seminar entitled:

Integration of GIS, Mobile and Satellite Imagery

Date: February 18, 2004
Time: 8:00 am – 3:30 pm
Location: Ramada Plaza Conference Resort 10251 St. Edwards Drive, Richmond, BC

This seminar had two presentation series, Urban and Satellite. The Urban Series focused on the identification, assessment and management of municipal assets, integration of GIS with water network modeling, integrating CADD and GIS, mobile infrastructure maintenance and utilizing GIS to its highest potential over the Internet

As part of the Satellite Series, the application of satellite Imagery for detection of impervious and pervious areas, as well as change detection for new development was explored. Particpants also learnt about the current state of satellite imagery and how the RCMP Air Squad will be using GIS data in their Police helicopters.

By the resounding feedback we have received so far this event was successful in its purpose. We hope you gained some useful insight into what other users are doing with GIS, Remote Sensing and Mobile Technologies and that you derived some value from attending, which you can in turn utilize in your workplace.
