The objective of SplitRS 2014 is to promote the state-of-the-art Remote Sensing Technology among young professionals and strengthen young people's professional networking. This intensive and advanced, 2-day learning event, presents best insights into most recent techniques learned from top international professors and researchers. Participants will learn about different remote sensing applications using both passive and active sensors. Learning about information extraction techniques will be an integral part of the school program in 2014.
