XVII International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) Congress, Washington, D.C., August 1992.

近几十年来，摄影测量、遥感和地理信息系统在研究工作中变得越来越重要。国际摄影测量和遥感学会四年一度的大会传统上是介绍关于这些方法的最新研究和与这些方法有关的最新研究的场所。这次国际学者聚会使科学家和实践者有机会看到、听到和讨论利用摄影语法技术、来自遥感卫星和地理信息系统的数据进行研究的最新进展。国际科学研究方案第17届大会将于1992年8月在华盛顿特区举行，它将使美国科学家有机会与来自世界各地的其他科学家就共同感兴趣的科学问题进行会晤和交流。这项裁决通过协助分发和出版将广泛分发的议事程序，并通过作为裁决补充的机构间资金调拨，为其他联邦机构提供支持，从而为国会提供支持。通过向国会提供部分补贴，传播国会议事程序的成本将会减少。这将使诉讼程序更广泛地可用。此外，NSF将能够通过其用其他联邦机构提供的资金补充该奖项的能力，进一步协助国会。

Photogrammetry, remote sensing, and geographical information systems have become increasingly important in the conduct of research in recent decades. The quadrennial congresses of the International Society for Photogrammetry and remote Sensing have traditionally served as venues for the presentation of the latest research on and with these methodologies. This international gathering of scholars permits scientists and practitioners the opportunity to see, hear, and discuss the most recent advancements in research employing photogrammertric techniques, data from remote sensing satellites, and geographical information systems. The 17th Congress of the ISPRS will be held in Washington, D.C. in August of 1992, and it will provide American scientists with the opportunity to meet and converse with other scientists from throughout the world on matters of mutual scientific interest. This award provides support for the congress by assisting in the distribution and publication of proceedings which will be distributed widely, and by providing a vehicle for other federal agencies to support the congress through interagency funds transfers as supplements to the award. By providing a partial subsidy for the congress, the costs of disseminating the congress's proceedings will be reduced. This will make the proceedings more widely available. Additionally, NSF will be in a position to further assist the congress through its ability to supplement the award with funds provided by other federal agencies.
