Next Thursday the 1st and Friday the 2^nd of December will be the Tutorial of Grid Computing, in which UFRO and CTI-HPC UTFSM will participate, as one of the activities of the GISELA-Chile Project.  Cesar Fernández, Paola Arce and Raquel Pezoa will be in charge of the presentations related to the use of the grid, and Professor Julio López (UFRO) will present an introduction of the Voronoi tesellations algorithm that will be used to solve some problems of segmentation of biomedical images.

The activities will be held in the Aula Tecnológica of the Informatics Department of the UTFSM.

Our Center is organizing the second version of the Satellite Image Processing course, which is newly supported by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the Computer Science Department at UTFSM. This course will be held between November 2nd and November 15th, 2011.

The course will be taught by John Stastny, Bryan Bagnall, and Lucas Keenan (SPAWAR Systems Center, Pacific,  USA).

The second version of the course will consider the revision of some  C++  and OpenCV topics in order to go  further with the use of the specialized software called  http://www.ossim.org/OSSIM/OSSIM_Home.html, which allows to perform satellite image processing.

As in the previous version of the course, at the end of the event, it will be possible to continue the related work in the CTI-HPC, as well as opportunities for collaboration with international projects, carrying undergraduate or graduate thesis.
