Description
"Satellite remote sensing has come a long way in the last 2 decades to map and monitor our changing planet. Technology trends include increasing spatial resolution (pixel size), number of spectral bands that can be leveraged to extract information, and frequency of revisit globally. Satellite industry has be improving the location accuracy from space to enable various precision applications on the earth. Advances in cloud computing and other technologies now allow for creation of mosaics and information layers at scale. The latest trend is analytics that allows for predictive intelligence.
The author will discuss practical application of satellite imagery for real world applications with Bill& Melinda Gates foundation, World Resources Institute, World Bank, and Walk Free foundations. The presentation will also cover various skill sets that remote sensing industry is looking for in young professionals."
