19th International Scientific and Technical Conference from Racurs

Determining the venue for the annual Racurs conference is not an easy task. The choice of one country over another is based on the vision of the market, partners’ activity, users’ interest, and our curiosity. Our decision to move to the East, to the Republic of Korea, was easier than ever. Korea is a unique country in relation to Russia. Despite the close location, this country is still very mysterious in terms of culture and technology.

The culture of “pali-pali” (faster-faster) allowed South Korea to become a world technological leader in a short time. As a result, one of the world’s best cadastre and cartography application systems was created. In just twenty years, South Korea has changed paper maps to digital ones, weekly updating data about road infrastructure and construction. This is one of the few countries that has full-fledged remote-sensing technologies, consisting of optical, radar, and UAV systems. It is no coincidence that the importance of geospatial information is emphasized by the mayor’s office of Seoul, which rightfully occupies the sixth place in the ranking of Smart Cities of the World.

The organizers of the conference: Racurs Company (Moscow, Russia), SI Imaging Services (Republic of Korea).

The conference topics: ERS Systems, Geospatial Technologies for the Smart City, Multi-Agent Methods and Technologies of Spatial Data Acquisition, Satellite Imagery and Geodata for Education, International Cooperation and Export Technologies.

The conference will be held from 28 to 31 of October, 2019 in Seoul, Republic of Korea.
