Distinguished Delegates and Guests,
Your warm welcome to remote sensing and spatial information sciences enthusiasts attending the 2024 Asian Conference on Remote Sensing (ACRS 2024) is greatly appreciated. It's wonderful to hear that the ACRS is jointly hosted by the Sri Lanka Survey Department (SLSD) and the Asian Association on Remote Sensing (AARS), making it a significant international conference in Asia.
Hosting the conference in Colombo, Sri Lanka, is a testament to the country's commitment to the field of remote sensing and its contributions to the ACRS. With a history of hosting ACRS since 2008, it's clear that Sri Lanka is dedicated to providing a fruitful symposium and extending its warm hospitality to all participants. Such conferences play a vital role in advancing knowledge, fostering collaboration, and addressing important global challenges through remote sensing and spatial information sciences.
As a leading Government Organization in Remote Sensing and geosciences in Sri Lanka, SLSD has long been an active partner in the associated communities. With a history of 223 years and a strong reputation, SLSD has undoubtedly made substantial contributions to these domains. Hosting the ACRS 2024 conference in Sri Lanka is an excellent opportunity to showcase the country's achievements and capabilities in these fields. I'm sure the attendees will benefit from the symposium program and enjoy their stay in Sri Lanka.

ASIAN ASSOCIATION ON REMOTE SENSING (AARS)

Dear International Colleagues,
It is our great pleasure to organize the 45th Asian Conference on Remote Sensing (ACRS) from 17th to 21st November 2024 in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Last year, we organized the 44th ACRS in Taipei with 815 participants from 44 countries and regions. This year, we, the Asian Association on Remote Sensing (AARS) and the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) of Sri Lanka, are co-organizing the conference. This is our fifth time to organize ACRS in Sri Lanka. The first time in 1983, 2nd in 1996, 3rd in 2008, and 4th in 2016. This means that Sri Lanka is one of the key players in AARS. Many of us still remember the successful ACRS organized in Colombo in 2016.
I visited Colombo this August and discussed with LOC on the preparation for the Conference. I was quite impressed with the good planning and teamwork of the LOC Chaired by Mr. W. Sudath L.C. Perera, Surveyor General of the Survey Department. I was pleased to know that more than 400 people had already registered for the conference. Various topics on remote sensing, including image processing, GIS, Big Data, Small Satellites, AI, and various applications, will be presented and discussed during the conference. I have no doubt about the success of the Conference. Looking forward to seeing you all at ACRS2024 in Colombo.
