17th International Remote Sensing Conference

Land and Vegetation Direct Readout Workshop

Direct broadcast/direct readout technologies provide near real-time access to imagery and derivative land and vegetation data products integral to numerous applications worldwide. The Land and Vegetation Direct Readout Workshop will be an opportunity to discuss current and future direct readout programmatic and technical issues regarding high temporal, moderate resolution sensors. The two-day workshop will focus specifically on land and vegetation applications based on MODIS, AVHRR, VIIRS and other moderate resolution environmental sensors that support direct readout.

The Land and Vegetation Direct Readout Workshop is co-sponsored by NASA, the Global Observations of Forest Cover and Land Cover Dynamics (GOFC/GOLD), the Comisión nacional para el conocimiento y uso de la biodiversidad (CONABIO) and the USDA Forest Service Remote Sensing Applications Center. The workshop is primarily intended for scientists and data producers from direct readout facilities, land/vegetation product scientists for MODIS, AVHRR, VIIRS and similar environmental sensors, and members of academia.

Primary goals of the workshop will include:
• Discussion of the current state of direct readout technologies
• Continuity of current technologies with future missions
• A forum for technical exchange between direct readout data producers and
scientists on land/vegetation science algorithms and applications
• Formation of regional/continental direct readout data integration networks
