Workshop on Signal and Image Processing for Remote Sensing

Remote sensing has a prominent role in environment, disaster management, and city monitoring and planning, by enabling the investigation of Earth and its sources by sensor systems without establishing a physical connection. Due to the advances in remote sensing, remote sensing images have gained importance in many application fields such as defense, medical, agriculture, textile, environment, mining, and biometry. Particularly, remote sensing has a strategic importance for our country which often faces natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, landslides and forest fires. With the use of images obtained by our first national satellite RASAT, and our first high resolution national reconnaissance satellite GÖKTÜRK-2 for land surveying, disaster monitoring, agriculture, environment, and city planning, the need for the knowledge and development of advanced methods to effectively use these images have increased.

This workshop's aim is to bring together researchers and novel researches on signal and image processing for remote sensing and create an awareness for remote sensing. The workshop will initiate potential collaborations and support the scientific level of the teams working in the fields of remotely sensed image processing, which has come into prominence in our country in the recent years. The target audience for the workshop is academicians, postdoctoral researchers, Ph.D. and M.Sc. students, undergraduates, and researchers working on remote sensing images in institutions and companies such as TÜBİTAK / ASELSAN / HAVELSAN.
