王 应 宽 2010-12-20 UTC-6 CST UMN, St Paul MN, USA 2010 中美 精准农业智能装备与农用航空遥感测量技术 国际研讨会成功召开 2010 Sino-US International Workshop on Intelligent Equipment for Precision Agriculture and Airborne Remote Sensing and Measurement for Agriculture College Station , Texas , USA 2010 年 12 月 29 日,大学城 德克萨斯 美国 经过近半年的积极筹备,由兰玉彬博士和王应宽博士共同策划,由美国农业部南方平原农业研究中心( USDA-ARS-SPARC )和中国农业工程学会《国际农业与生物工程学报》( IJABE )联合主办的 2010 中美 精准农业智能装备与农用航空遥感测量技术国际研讨会 ( 2010 Sino-US International Workshop on Intelligent Equipment for Precision Agriculture and Airborne Remote Sensing and Measurement for Agriculture College Station, Texas, USA , Dec.2-9 , 2010 )如期在美国得克萨斯州大学城成功召开。会议邀请了来自美国农业部系统 3 个不同研究中心(德州大学城、德州外斯雷克、密西西比斯通维尔)和 5 所大学(德州农工大学、佛罗里达大学、俄克拉荷马州立大学、德州农工大学爱帕索分校、普雷里维农工大学)、约翰迪尔等 10 个单位的专家学者奉献了 20 余场主题鲜明的精彩报告。赴美国得克萨斯州大学城参会的中国精准农业代表团共计 43 人,提交了 25 篇论文的全文或摘要。国内参会代表主要来自包括国家农业信息化工程技术研究中心、中国农业科学院、中国农业机械化科学研究院、中国科学院(沈阳自动化所和南京土壤所)、广东省农业机械研究所、南京农业大学、华中农业大学、内蒙古农业大学、南京信息工程大学、西安交通大学、兰州大学、中南大学、佳木斯大学、河南科技大学、河南农业大学、青岛农业大学、安徽农业大学、黑龙江八一农垦大学和黑龙江农垦等大专院校和科研院所,共计 25 个单位。此次会议从策划到组团都得到了专家和参会代表的积极响应和支持,参会代表报名积极踊跃。但后来因为会议的主题涉及航空遥感等敏感领域,参会代表的签证大都被审查了,后虽尽力沟通,在有关方面的帮助下,才让大部分代表在会前获得了赴美签证,但仍然有相当一部分代表因为签证没有能来美国参会,不然参会代表会更多。会议编辑印发了装帧精美的论文集供参会代表和专家交流。专家代表单位如下: USDA-ARS-Southern Plains Agricultural Research Center (SPARC), College Station, Texas USDA-ARS- The Jamie Whitten Delta States Research Center, Stoneville, Mississippi USDA-ARS-The Kika de la Garza Subtropical Agricultural Research Center, Weslaco, Texas Texas AM University, College Station, Texas Texas AgriLife Research Center at El Paso, Texas AM University, El Paso, Texas University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma Prairie View AM University, Prairie View, Texas John Deere, Waterloo, Iowa OmniSTAR USA, Inc. (Fugro Group of Companies), North South America, Houston, Texas 国内代表团于 12 月 2 日在北京首都机场集合,集体乘坐美国大陆航空公司的飞机,从纽约入境,转机于美国当地时间 12 月 2 日晚上十点半到达休斯敦,代表团团长王应宽博士已先期到达美国,一边在明尼苏达大学做访问学者,一边筹备此次会议。他于 12 月 1 日到达德州大学城与兰教授筹备会议。 12 月 2 日晚,王应宽博士和兰教授的学生张博士代表会议主办方到休斯敦机场迎接和欢迎代表团。 为了开好此次会议,兰教授特地以 USDA-ARS 的名义在大学城预订了条件最好的宾馆大学城希尔顿宾馆及会议中心( Hilton College Station Hotel Conference Center ),代表们的食宿和开会都在此。还在宾馆举办了晚宴。最后的结果是,吃得好,住得好,会议也开得好,但希尔顿的收费高,开会成本太高,差点赔本赚吆喝。 会议于 12 月 3 日上午 8 点正式开始,简短的开幕式后( Clint, Yubin Lan and Wang Yingkuan 分别致词),就开始了正式的大会报告。整个上午共安排了十位专家的报告,每人 20 分钟,全部用英语报告,因议程非常的满,为节省时间就没有安排翻译。 CIGR 主席、佛罗里达大学教授 Fedro Zazueta 博士因为下午要赶飞机回去,他首先作报告,拉开了精彩报告的序幕。每个报告之后,都有提问和主持人的精彩点评环节。整个上午到 12 点顺利完成了全部报告。下午安排了全体参会代表到 USDA-ARS 的实验室和航空试验站现场参观学习。会议代表分成 3 个组农用飞机(共有 3 架飞机)、喷药设施、风洞试验等,轮流参观。 USDA-ARS 的专家讲解非常清楚,每组都配有华人专家担任翻译,解释也很到位,大家听完讲解后可以自由提问。代表们普遍反映整个下午的实地参观学习收获很大。参观结束后,兰教授在家设晚宴,欢迎全部代表到他家赴宴。通过宴会的交流,进一步增进了代表们相互的了解。 12 月 4 日,上午的报告时间仍然是 8 : 0012 : 00 。为了让国内代表更好的听报告和交流,第二阶段的会议报告全部采用中文。邀请作报告的都是美籍华人专家,他们可以用中文作报告和与大家交流。原定报告结束后,安排了国内代表中国农业机械化科学研究院的张小超研究员作了报告。最后请为这次会议提供支持的公司 OmniSTAR 的代表作了报告。会议报告精彩,信息量大,交流热烈。至此,全部的会议报告环节结束。下午,我们又安排了参观交流。首先参观了 2010 全美排名第一的德州农工大学农业与生物系统工程系。然后参观了 TAMU 美丽的校园,最后参观了老布什的纪念图书馆。参观交流结束后返回希尔顿宾馆,晚上 6-9 点,我们在宾馆举行了由 OmniSTAR 赞助的晚宴,总结了会议的成果,大家再次进行了深入交流。酒足饭饱之后,由会议主席兰玉彬教授和组织者王应宽博士共同为每位参会代表颁发了印有 USDA-ARS 标识的证书,并让每位上台的参会代表作自我介绍和发表感言。这个环节把晚宴和闭幕式推向了高潮,在热烈和愉快的气氛中结束了此次会议。 在大学城 2 天的学术交流结束后, 12 月 5 日代表团赴休斯敦参观了著名的赖斯大学( Rice University )和美国航空航天中心( NASA-Johnson Space Center )。当晚代表团飞赴位于佐治亚州的著名港口城市萨凡纳( Savannah ), 12 月 6 日参加了第 44 届美国农用航空协会年会和农用航空展。代表们在萨凡纳看到了最先进的农业与林业用飞机,还观看了飞行表演。结束萨凡纳的行程之后,代表团继续乘坐美国大陆航空公司的飞机,从纽约和华盛顿转机回国。代表团于北京时间 12 月 9 日下午 4 点安全抵达北京后解散,至此赴美参会代表团的全部学术交流和参观考察活动圆满结束。 此次会议能够成功得益于前期的精心筹备和多方面地支持,其中有很多的成功经验和不足的教训值得记取,将在以后归纳总结。为了使本次会议的成果进一步传播,将在后续的博文中发布专家的报告材料。请感兴趣者关注和支持。 2010 Sino-US Workshop on IEPA-RS-MT全家福 会议全体代表和专家参观USDA-ARS实验室和农用航空站全体合影 会议主席Dr. Yubin Lan主持开幕式并热烈欢迎专家和代表到德州大学城开会交流 CIGR主席,佛罗里达大学教授Fedro Zazueta博士首先作报告 会场秩序井然,代表们聚精会神听报告 无人驾驶遥感拍照小飞机 与专家Zhuping Sheng, Chenghai Yang在参观时留影 与USDA-ARS-SPARC的Dan Martin合影(我还给他开玩笑:Martin啊,我不看你姓 Dan,我还以为你是外国人!) 兰教授欢迎代表们到家赴宴 在兰教授家晚宴后散步,就近参观了圣诞公园 George Bush Presidential Library and Museum-布什纪念图书馆 参观Texas AM University美丽的校园 参观全美排名第一的TAMU生物与农业工程系 参观位于休斯顿的著名私立大学-Rice University 参观位于休斯顿的NASA 佐治亚州港口城市萨凡纳会展中心 飞行表演 展会现场 与参展的植保灭蚊飞机亲密接触 展会一角 拿了好多资料和纪念品,在准备走之前再留个影

We welcome you to this Sino-US Workshop at College Station , where the USDA-ARS SPARC and Texas AM University are located. Texas AM University is the seventh-largest university with one of the largest main campuses in the U.S. , and is also the site of the George Bush Presidential Library. Traditional agriculture is advancing to modern and intelligent agriculture with the development of science and technology and social progress. Information technology plays a key role in this conversion, dealing with less controllability and stability because of regionality, seasonality and variability. Precision agriculture as a trend featured with digital, visual, networked and intelligent agriculture is growing, as is the precision agricultural community across the world. The 2010 Sino-U.S. International Workshop on Intelligent Equipment for Precision Agriculture and Airborne Remote Sensing and Measurement for Agriculture is envisaged to be a scholarly and professional symposium, with about 60 attendees from China and the U.S. Over a dozen experts and professors will be invited to present as key speakers. This workshop will provide a forum for presentations on the current state of intelligent equipment for precision agriculture research and applications, application of remote sensing and information technologies in agriculture. The conference will facilitate interactions among research scientists, producers, technology company representatives, equipment manufacturers, input dealers, agronomic consultants, software developers, educators, and government personnel. During the workshop, an evening session will be held to seek for the possibility of building bilateral ties for future exchange and cooperation between Chinese and U.S. scientists and institutions. We are looking forward to seeing you at the Sino-U.S. workshop on Intelligent Equipment for Precision Agriculture and Remote Sensing and Measurement Technology in College Station , Texas , USA .
