Ocean Remote Sensing, IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society Technology Committee on
Short and long-term observation and monitoring of the oceans is necessary in order to maintain and increase maritime activity security and sustainable ocean exploitation. In this context there is an ongoing need for better sensors, vehicles and processing for limiting human exposure. Accurate and broad-scope information is necessary to develop optimum enterprises and partnerships. Threats and risks need to be understood and managed. New technologies and new processing algorithms are relying on better access to data, which is critical when dealing with remote sensing devices. This step is mandatory in any research and development project process and implies techniques, which are difficult to implement as well as expensive.
The interactions of engineers and scientists through our Conferences and Publications creates an assembly of talent that leads to rapid distribution of knowledge and stimulation to develop creative opportunities. The main place to meet and exchange is our flagship Conference, OCEANS. Several IEEE workshops or other conferences include many topics stated in the previous paragraphs and ranging from Earth Observation to AUVs.
