Image Mining summer school was held at Barcelonnette in August. This thematic school, dedicated to post-graduate students and young researchers, presents state-of-the-art image mining techniques by combining both theoretical lectures and practical exercises on specific datasets. Open source algorithms, codes and software have been presented. 35 researchers coming from Informatics, Earth Sciences, Geography and Remote Sensing communities participates to this intensive course.

It has been an ideal opportunity to present OTB and the latest Monteverdi 2 potentialities, via a dedicated training session. After a brief introduction, participants have been invited to test OTB framework using Pléiades VHR sample available from Astrium Geo-Information Services.  Scenarii and exercises can be found here. These exercises have been selected from an extended set of tutorials the OTB Courses  written in org-mode format. Feel free to try it, extend it and do not hesitate to send us feedbacks!

We would like to thank UNISTRA and ICUBE for the organization of this summer school. We also would like to thank the seolane center, which gave us an excellent welcome and also helped us to discover some culinar specialities (like “the sauvage” and the famous “fondue Seolane”) and the beauty of Ubaye’s region.

Keep in touch!
