Lecture by Prof. Ronald Yager.

NPST exhibition at KSU.

activities to promote the chapter and the general area of
remote sensing.
In April 2012 the group invited Prof. Farid Melgani, a
renowned researcher in remote sensing and member of
GRSS, from the department of information sciences, University of Trento, Italy.
Then the Japan Society of Photogrammetry and Remote
Sensing (JSPRS) contacted us to discuss possible collaboration activities between KSU, JSPRS, and other Japanese
companies in the field. The chapter met with them on
October 2012.
On 1st January 2013, the chapter organized a lecture
to the remote sensing community by the well known Prof.
Roland Yager, who was visiting KSU part of the world scientist program.
The attendance to these lectures was acceptable but not
as expected. Thus we needed to think of more innovative
ways to attract researchers and engineers to the chapter.
So, the elected executive committee met and discussed
ways to achieve this goal. It was agreed that one of the best
ways is to focus on cool applications of remote sensing
and also try to use an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)
in these applications. The use of the UAV is guaranteed to
attract attention and also it makes a good excuse to organize field trips to several nice outdoor locations.

During 2013 several activities were organized revolving around the UAV theme. On 27th January, a trip to Alqassim region was organized to take images of Alrajhi farm
of date palms, which is the largest farm of its kind in the
world. Participants and guests from the farm were briefed
about the new UAV technology and its uses in remote
sensing and precision farming. Then, we showed them a
live demo of image acquisition and building a mosaic out
of these images. We also invited the people at the farm to
attend our chapter activities and in particular the upcoming workshop about the use of UAV in agriculture.
On 6th March, we contacted the university farm for
research and testing, in the area of Deerab, and organized
a similar trip, whereby, we illustrated the use of a UAV in
acquiring high resolution images of the farm in order to
monitor and classify agriculture activities.
On September 2013, the chapter organized a student
event at the new KSU stadium to demonstrate the use of a
UAV to build 3D models of buildings. The goal was to use
this data set to make a presentation to Riyadh municipality
about RS application in urban planning and monitoring.
On April 2014, the chapter, in collaboration with
the college of computer and information sciences, organized a workshop about remote sensing, where we made
a presentation about the chapter and its activities, then
