CATCON
Presented by: S. Murai, ISPRS 1st Vice President
and by: K. Cho, Chair ISPRS WG VI/2
at: Closing Plenary Ceremony
CATCON is the name of a software contest organised by
the ISPRS Commission VI Working Group 2: Computer
Assisted Teaching (CAT). The first CATCON was organised
at the ISPRS Vienna Congress in 1996. CATCON 2 is
sponsored by CCS (Central Computer Service) of Japan,
and a total of 500,000 yen (about 4,500 US dollar) will be
awarded to the winners of the contest.
The main objective of the contest is to promote the devel-
opment and dissemination of good/user-friendly software
packages, videos, as well as data-sets for computer
assisted teaching. In general, the software or dataset is
preferred to be non-commercial and preferred to be pro-
vided to the users free of charge. Since many people come
to see this contest, this will be a very good opportunity to
show attendees of ISPRS the usefulness of your software/
dataset.
The jury, based on the feedback by the audience, decided
to have one Gold and two Silver Awards. The results are as
follows:
The winners in 2000 were:
- CATCON Gold Award: to ARPENTEUR, represented by
P. Grussenmeyer and P. Drap (France)
- CATCON Silver Awards to Web-based Virtual Lab, rep-
resented by: Q. Zhou (Hong Kong) and LDIPInter rep-
resented by J. Hohle (Denmark)
In recognition of the value and prestige associated with
ISPRS Awards, in 1998 the Council developed the follow-
ing ISPRS Awards Policy, which was ratified by the ISPRS
General Assembly in Amsterdam.
