Congrats to the Stuart, Jesko and the other organisers yesterday from Teagasc - beginning with the announcement that Team Teagasc won the Farming by Satellite competition hosted by ESA during the week, followed by a great keynote by Dr. Daniel McInerney from Coillte on Open Source processing methods for forestry, and then a full day of great sessions - it was a really useful day of talks. We presented on our work with OSi on the Change Detection project, and OSi and EPA followed with a joint presentation on their work on Land Cover/Habitat Mapping. Kevin Lydon from EPA also announced the release of the new Corine 2018 dataset.
There was a great turn-out from the Maynooth MSc GIS/RS students - which I hope they really found useful. The difference in seeing people who work on a single theme every day (like marine, or Ag) present their problems and solutions really helps to show how important some of the things i keep banging on about are - like automation, data fusion, data calibration, accuracy assessments. It was lucky that it was so close to Maynooth this year - if had been hosted in UCC or NUIG for example they wouldn't have had that chance to just hop on the train.
My surname ended up as Calahane on the name badge, as usual.
Today is Day 2 - with the python coding workshop.
