SUMMARY:Innsbruck Summer School of Alpine Research 2019
LOCATION:Innsbruck\, Austria
DESCRIPTION:<p><span lang="EN-US">The main goal of the Joint Summer School 2019 on&nbsp
 ;<strong>Close Range Sensing Techniques in Alpine Terrain&nbsp;</strong>is 
 to provide participants with innovative practical and methodological skills
  to characterize complex terrain and object features using close- and near 
 range remote sensing techniques. The Summer School will be the third editio
 n after two successful implementations in 2015 and 2017.</span></p><p><span
  lang="EN-US">Theoretical lectures will be complemented by fieldwork assign
 ments and hands-on data processing sessions using different novel software.
  The assignments will be divided into two different tracks. One track will 
 focus on mountain research, the other on sensor and data processing techniq
 ues.&nbsp;</span><span lang="EN-US">A variety of sensor systems will be ava
 ilable for data acquisition in the high mountain surroundings of the summer
  school venue, including terrestrial laser scanners, unmanned aerial vehicl
 es and spectral cameras.&nbsp;</span><span lang="EN-US">A poster session on
  the participants' current research interests and work will stimulate open 
 exchange and discussion between students and lecturers in a relaxed atmosph
 ere.&nbsp;</span><span lang="EN-US">Thematic focus will be on mountain rese
 arch, and will include vegetation characterization, (deformation) monitorin
 g for glaciology, geomorphology and natural hazard research.&nbsp;</span><s
 pan lang="EN-US">Technical focus will be on sensor and data aspects, such a
 s sensor modelling, calibration, data acquisition, 2D and 3D data fusion, g
 eometric methods for information extraction from point clouds and (multispe
 ctral) images and data quality assessment.&nbsp;</span><span lang="EN-US">T
 heoretical focus will address critical steps within a processing chain, suc
 h as impact of registration, choice of stand points during data acquisition
  and derivation of deformation vectors, issues related to multispectral ima
 ge analysis etc.&nbsp;</span><span lang="EN-US">Practical exercises using p
 redominantly open source software, deepen the conveyed knowledge and help a
 ll participants establish a workflow for their research.</span></p><p><span
  lang="EN-US">The Summer School will take place in and around Obergurgl, at
  almost 2000 m the highest village in Austria. The main venue is the Obergu
 rgl University Center. Here lectures will take place and accommodation is p
 rovided to all participants. Directions will be available via the website. 
 Please note that fieldwork will take place in a mountainous environment, wh
 ich requires surefootedness.<br /></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US">This sum
 mer school is designed for any well-motivated student; advanced graduate st
 udents, PhDs, post-docs and young researchers from any field, provided they
  have interest in these types of techniques.</span></p><p><span lang="EN-US
