For those who want to know what is new in computer sowares; in every issue we will presentsome new programs which support spaal material. In this edion we are introducing two newprograms:

Deniens technology emulates human cognive processes to extract informaon from images. Thetechnology works with all modern remote sensing instruments mounted on satellite and aerial plat-forms to deliver automated feature extracon. By correlang image analysis with other geospaalinformaon, Deniens enables organisaons to generate accurate GIS-ready informaon for infra-structure planning, natural resource management, defense and security.Click here for a free trial.

GeoExpress, Spaal Express and Express Server work together for a complete soluon: with the abil-lity to manipulate and compress images with GeoExpress, store them in Oracle Spaal with SpaalExpress, and distribute them using Express Server to quickly get your images into the hands of the

decision makers who need them.Keeping a compeve edge increasingly requires interoperability among the technologies and ser-vices that your organizaon uses to get work done. Having tools that are designed to work with eachother at every step along your workow is the key to transforming your satellite and aerial imagedata into products that people use. Storing, manipulang and distribung your imagery calls for fa-miliar tools that work seamlessly not only with each other but also with protocols and applicaonsin the larger geospaal ecosystem.

LizardTechs Express Suite oers just such a set of tools for geospaal imaging.

Summer School Bullen

The ISPRS 3rd Summer School is known by more and more students and its theme Acquision, processing and representaon of three-

dimensional geospaal informaon is of interest to many researchers who engaged in these elds. As of me of wring, 59scholars and students from all over the world have registered successfully for the ISPRS 3rd Summer School. Most of the parci-pants are from European countries like Slovenia, Croaa, Turkey, Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania and

Hungary. Others are from Asian countries like Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Iran, Thailand and China. There are also parcipants fromAmerica. The name list of parcipants is denite and about half the parcipants will take part in ISPRS Congress held in Beijing.

The workshops will be instructed by some leading researchers in the emerging eld of GeographicInformaon Science. Young researchers from Nordic and Balc countries, as well as from North Western Russia, are eligible, and thereforeencouraged to apply for admission to the school. For those selected, we will provide full nancial support including travel, accom-modaon and course materials.Read more:hp://www.hig.se/~bjg/NordGISci2008/index.html
