Presentation of the Kyoto Award 
G.H.Ligterink 
President of the Netherlands’ Society for Photogrammetry 
Ladies and Gentlemen, 
I have the honour and pleasure to make the following 
announcement: 
During the opening of the symposium I remarked 
that our Societies, both Photogramme try and Remote 
Sensing, have the aim to cooperate in various ways 
and that we will promote the Dutch contribution. 
Therefore, we have established a Symposium Prize 
for the best contribution, I must say, for the Dutch 
author of the most excellent contribution to this 
symposium. 
It was not easy, for there were about 40 Dutch 
papers in the proceedings, and I must say, more than 
one could be awarded. So, for this prize we have 
choosen the best of the best. 
Before mentioning the name of the winner, I can 
say that the prize contents a visit to the congress 
in Kyoto 1988 and the costs will be paid by both 
Societies and Commission VII up to f. 6000, -. 
I have the honour to present the prize to a scien 
tific member of the Department of Landsurveying and 
Remote Sensing, from the Agricultural University, 
Wageningen, to: 
Mr J.P.G.W. Clevers 
Mr Clevers my congratulations with the Symposium 
Prize of Commission VII 1986. 
You are the author of three papers in the proceed 
ings. The attention of the Jury was in particular 
drawn by your paper: "The derivation of a symplified 
reflectance model for the estimation of LAI". 
Mr Clevers, we wish you a good and successful trip 
to Kyoto in 1988.
