Dreiländer Tagung Image 1: Participants of the Conference Once every 3 years; the Austrian, German and Swiss Societies of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing organise joint conferences for their members in rotating places in three countries and this organisation has become a tradition for several years. This year the Swiss Society organised the so called Joint Conference (Dreilaender Tagung) in Muttenz-Basel. The place of the very well organised conference was the University of Applied Sciences North-western Switzerland and the conference was chaired by Prof. Stephan Nebiker from the same university. More than 320 participants most of whom were from organizing societies attended the event. During the conference were 2 plenary sessions, one of which was dedicated to the memorial of Prof. Karl Kraus (at which Prof. O. Altan, Prof. F. Ackermann and Prof. N. Pfeifer spoke) and the centennial of the establishment of the Austrian Society (presented by Prof. P. Waldhäusl). At the other plenary there were very interesting presentations on "Close-Range Photogrammetry at the Operation room" presented by W. Berner, "Real-Time 3D Imaging using Time-of-Flight: Technology, Applications and Trends", by T. Oggier, and "Recent Space Technology Developments at EPFL for Earth Observation" by M. Borgeaud.
