6th International Symposium of Space Optical Instruments and Applications: Delft, the Netherlands, September 24-25, 2019

This proceedings volume contains selected and expanded contributions presented at the 6th International Symposium of Space Optical Instruments and Applications, held in Delft, the Netherlands on Sep 24th-25th, 2019. The meeting was organized by the Sino-Holland Space Optical Instruments Joint Laboratory and supported by TU Delft.

The symposium focused on key innovations of space-based optical instruments and applications, and the newest developments in theory, technology and applications in optics, in both China and Europe. It thus provided a platform for exchanges on the latest research and current and planned optical missions.

The major topics covered in these conference proceedings are: space optical remote sensing system design; advanced optical system design and manufacturing; remote sensor calibration and measurement; remote sensing data processing and information retrieval; and remote sensing data applications.

Prof. Dr. Paul Urbach is head of the Optics Research Group of Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands, and former president and member of the executive committee of the European Optical Society. Research areas of his optics group include Integrated Photonics, Interferometry and Imaging, Diffraction Theory, Data Storage.

Prof. Yu Qifeng is a full Professor at National University of Defense Technology (NUDT), China. He is the founder and chief scientist of Hunan Key Laboratory for Image Measurement and Vision Navigation. He graduated from Northwestern Polytechnical University and obtained his Master’s degree from the Space Technology Department in NUDT.
