Professor Kohei Cho invited to give lecture at international workshop in Germany
Professor Kohei Cho (Director, School of Information Science and Technology), the head of this project, was invited to give a lecture at the international workshop of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) held from June 6 to 9 at University Hannover in Germany.
He spoke about the results of the evaluation of Miyagi Prefecture’s environmental restoration after the Great East Japan Earthquake using satellite data and field surveys, and also introduced the research project “Contributing to a Safe and Secure Society by Building a Glocal Monitoring System for Disaster and Environmental Change Monitoring.”
Professor Cho said, “Many people are very interested in our efforts to combine satellite data and information from social media to gather disaster information. My feeling was that we are quite ready to start international initiatives.”
