SUMMARY:Innsbruck Summer School of Alpine Research 2019
LOCATION:Innsbruck\, Austria
DESCRIPTION:The main goal of the Joint Summer School 2019 on Close Range Sensing Techni
 ques in Alpine Terrain is to provide participants with innovative practical
  and methodological skills to characterize complex terrain and object featu
 res using close- and near range remote sensing techniques. The Summer Schoo
 l will be the third edition after two successful implementations in 2015 an
 d 2017.\nTheoretical lectures will be complemented by fieldwork assignments
  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 techniques. 
 A variety of sensor systems will be available for data acquisition in the h
 igh mountain surroundings of the summer school venue, including terrestrial
  laser scanners, unmanned aerial vehicles and spectral cameras. A poster se
 ssion on the participants' current research interests and work will stimula
 te open exchange and discussion between students and lecturers in a relaxed
  atmosphere. Thematic focus will be on mountain research, and will include 
 vegetation characterization, (deformation) monitoring for glaciology, geomo
 rphology and natural hazard research. Technical focus will be on sensor and
  data aspects, such as sensor modelling, calibration, data acquisition, 2D 
 and 3D data fusion, geometric methods for information extraction from point
  clouds and (multispectral) images and data quality assessment. Theoretical
  focus will address critical steps within a processing chain, such as impac
 t of registration, choice of stand points during data acquisition and deriv
 ation of deformation vectors, issues related to multispectral image analysi
 s etc. Practical exercises using predominantly open source software, deepen
  the conveyed knowledge and help all participants establish a workflow for 
 their research.\nThe Summer School will take place in and around Obergurgl,
  at almost 2000 m the highest village in Austria. The main venue is the Obe
 rgurgl University Center. Here lectures will take place and accommodation i
 s provided to all participants. Directions will be available via the websit
 e. Please note that fieldwork will take place in a mountainous environment,
  which requires surefootedness.\n\nThis summer school is designed for any w
 ell-motivated student; advanced graduate students, PhDs, post-docs and youn
 g researchers from any field, provided they have interest in these types of
  techniques.\nFor more information see website:  http://www.uibk.ac.at/geog
