Department of Earth and Space Science is organizing a workshop on "Advanced remote sensing technologies : Hyperspectral and LiDAR"

About the Workshop

Remote sensing & GIS has been extensively used in various governmental organizations and has found a place in the curriculum of numerous universities offering masters programs in various traditional and interdisciplinary areas. In India, there are good number of training programs, summer schools and workshops organized regularly at introductory and professional level. However, there are very few venues which is focused towards the advanced remote sensing technologies. Hyperspectral and LiDAR Remote Sensing are revolutionizing the way earth surface can be mapped. This workshop is aimed at encouraging and equipping research scholars and early career professionals (university/government/industry) for performing focused studies in appreciating the complementary remote sensing technologies - Hyperspectral and LiDAR in the domain of their choice .

Major Topics

Considering the state-of-the-art in technology and application potential, the following areas will be covered comprehensively. However, the participants are encouraged to discuss other areas of interest as well.

Advanced remote sensing technologies
Hyperspectral data processing and analysis
Quantitative information extraction from hyperspectral remote sensing
LiDAR data processing
Processing LiDAR data using LAStools

About IIST
