Brown will recount his father's long and distinguished career in mathematics and photogrammetry.
Author, inventor, and entrepreneur, Duane Brown received a BSBA in Mathematics from Yale University in 1951, and was involved with every aspect of the development of industrial photogrammetry.
Duane Brown developed the 'bundle' method of photogrammetric triangulation, which he expanded to include the algorithm for first-order partitioned regression.
Brown also developed advanced mathematical techniques for camera calibration and error modeling that are still widely used in the industry today.
He also developed a series of extremely accurate photogrammetric cameras, while founding several successful companies to commercialize his innovations.
Today, Geodetic Systems expands his legacy into industrial digital photogrammetry.
John Brown will also enumerate the many prestigious awards bestowed upon his father throughout his illustrious professional life, including: the David Sarnoff Award for Outstanding Achievement in Engineering, the Robert Gordon Memorial Award from the Society of Photo-Optical Engineers, the Talbert Abrams Award of ASPRS.
Duane Brown was a two time winner of the Sherman Mill Fairchild Award of the ASPRS.
He received an honorary doctorate from the University of Stuttgart, Germany in 1988, and received the very prestigious Brock Gold Medal from the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing in the same year.
The American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) will host the annual conference from March 7 - 10, 2005.
The event schedule caters to professionals in all aspects of remote sensing, geographic information systems, land and natural resources management, environmental management, photogrammetry, lidar and IFSAR, mapping, charting, and geodesy.
