Another book as titled "Remote Sensing Notes"
will be published within 1992 as a text book for
education and training.
Summary
AARS is expected to play the following roles for
Asian remote sensing scientists.
a. AARS should offer an opportunity to promote
exchange of academic and technical information,
presentation of technical papers, publication of
proceedings or books, personnel exchange and
regional cooperation, through Asian Conference on
Remote Sensing.
b. AARS should support and assist the developing
countries in Asian region in education, training and
technical transfer in cooperation with other
international organizations such as UN/ESCAP,
UNEP/GRID, UNCRD, UNFAO etc.
c. AARS should contribute to global change
monitoring by establishing the Asian regional data
base with ground base observation data or statistics
for calibration, validation and verification.
d. AARS should play supplementary role in Asia to
ISPRS because Asian remote sensing scientists will
have more chance to attend the ACRS rather than
ISPRS's activities most of which are organized in
north America or Europe.
