International Summer School
Brasov, Romania
24 – 29 July 2017
[see the newsletter article here]
1. Technical theme
Outline of topics: color, multispectral and hyperspectral image acquisition, processing and analysis, feature extraction, texture analysis techniques, remote sensing applications, Earth Observation, Copernicus Academy framework.
2. Program and Lecturers
The participants (graduate students, Ph.D. students, young researchers) will learn about the latest research approaches in multidimensional signal processing and analysis and remote sensing applications, contributing to their personal and scientific development. All participants will receive a participation diploma.

16:00 – 17:00 – Discussions
The lecturers are the following:
- Hilda Deborah (Nowegian University of Science and Technology, Norway)
- Noël Richard (University of Poitiers, France)
- Manuel Graña (University of the Basque Country, San Sebastian, Spain)
- Ferran Gascon (European Space Agency)
- Pierre Soille (Joint Research Center, Ispra, Italy)
