Workshop Number 1 Room: Auditorium Time: 9:30AM-12:30PM Speaker: Richard Gomez, PhD Affiliation: George Mason University, VA |
Topic: Hyperspectral Remote Sensing: Physics, Systems, and Applications Download Presentations: Abstract: This workshop is designed for GeoTech 2007 attendees who wish to become more familiar with multispectral and hyperspectral remote sensing technology. The workshop will cover the basic physics of spectroscopy, the types of spectral sensors currently used by governments and industries worldwide, and the types of data processing used for various hyperspectral imaging applications. Lectures will be enhanced by computer demonstrations. After taking this workshop, attendees should be able to communicate and work productively with other professionals in this field. Each workshop attendee will receive a complete set of lecture notes on a CD-ROM disc. Workshop instructor: Dr. Richard B. Gomez has worked in the field of hyperspectral/multispectral remote sensing for many years. He has worked for government, industry, and academia organizations. He is currently teaching hyperspectral imaging graduate courses in the College of Science at George Mason University. |
