President’s Invitation 
  
Dear friends, 
tary 
Every four years, the Commission V Symposium is one of the main events of the 
r International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. And we feel very 
honored to host this event in Corfu in 2002. 
Commission V follows a vertical approach developing theories, pursuing research and 
implementing it all, to a wide scientific spectrum of close-range Photogrammetry 
applications. This approach attracts the interest of many researchers, coming also from 
disciplines other than Photogrammetry, establishing thus Commission V as a market- 
place of ideas and a world-wide scientific forum for discussing research contributions 
and practical implementations. 
Co-Chair 
o We feel that the coming Symposium will be a focal point for both ISPRS and associated 
organizations, for the communication of ideas and research progress in 
interdisciplinary areas where close-range imaging is used for 3D scene reconstruction 
and visualization. 
We picked the lovely Corfu, as the Symposium location. A mythical, fascinating island, 
unique in its kind in Greece, Odysseus' last stop before arriving in Ithaca. We want to 
create a relaxing and friendly atmosphere to host this fruitful brainstorming. We are 
sure you are all going to enjoy it. 
On behalf of the Organizing and Scientific Committes | wish to cordially invite each 
one of you to enjoy the Greek culture, to meet old and new colleagues and contribute 
to this special event. 
Sincerely Yours, 
Prof. Petros Patias
