Attention remote sensing community! The Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Laboratory at RIT wants you to participate in a major data collection experiment to acquire new data for research purposes.
The Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing (DIRS) Laboratory at the Rochester Institute of Technology is seeking remote sensing community participation in a large data collection experiment planned for September 2025. The goal is to acquire new data for research purposes building on previous successful DIRS coordinated experiments including SHARE 2010 and SHARE 2012.
ROCX 2025 Objectives
The objectives for ROCX 2025 include the following:
Acquire remote sensing data for research purposes from a variety of sensor modalities and platforms coordinated over a defined area for a defined period.
Include a range of ground object deployments and ground truth collection activities proposed and carried out by research experiment Principal Investigators.
Process and distribute analysis ready data sets on an open access data repository for use by the general remote sensing research community.
Disseminate research results from collection through special sessions at major conferences and peer reviewed journal special issues.
Planning Survey - Update
During the spring and summer of 2024 an open survey was conducted for interest by potential collaboration partners and community participants. We received survey responses from over 60 individuals from more than 40 organizations expressing their interest in ROCX 2025. Of these, 43 individuals from 33 organizations agreed to be part of the ROCX 2025 Working Group which is actively planning details for the experiment. The survey is now closed and further inquiries can be directed to DIRS and will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Working Group Activities
The ROCX 2025 Working Group is currently meeting bi-weekly to develop plans. Next steps include issuing a Call for Proposals from those expressing interest through the planning survey. The call will solicit plans to collect remote sensing and ground truth data, as well as conducting ground experiments. These proposals will be used to firm up ROCX 2025 data collection activities and specific experiment locations. We are targeting September 8-19, 2025 as the experiment time window.
