MundoGEO#Connect LatinAmerica 2012, the largest event in geospatial industry in Latin America, held from May 29 thru 31 at the Frei Caneca Convention Center, in Sao Paulo (SP), Brazil, will feature a seminar on applications of satellite images in areas such as environment, energy, oil & gas, agriculture and infrastructure.
In addition to that, during the “Seminário Imagens de Satélite ” (http://mundogeoconnect.com/2012/grade/seminario-imagens-de-satelite/), which takes place on May 31st as part of the schedule of MundoGEO#Connect, we will introduce the main characteristics of each type of image, separated into optical, radar or laser. The presentations begin at 9 am, with the “Panorama sobre os principais satélites e sensores” panel, in which Antonio Machado, director of AMS Kepler, will explain the orbital sensors currently available, as well as new satellite for the coming years.
Right after this lecture, there will be a presentation on the use of satellite images for projects in the areas of environment, energy and mining. Representatives of Greenpeace, Itaipu and Geological Survey of Brazil will be present.
The agribusiness sector will also have an exclusive panel in this seminar. At 2pm, we’ll proceed with a debate on the challenges and results of applications of orbital sensors in agriculture and forests’ areas. Bernardo Rudorff, from the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE), and Edson Luis Bolfe, from Embrapa Monitoramento por Satélite, will be among the speakers.
To sum up, there will be a presentation on the use of satellite images in planning, execution and monitoring projects and minimizing interventions in the environment, with confirmed presence of Wilson Holler, of Embrapa, and Ronan Max Prochnow from Eletrobras Eletrosul.
“This seminar is a unique opportunity to learn several aspects of remote sensing in a single day,” said Eduardo Freitas, technical coordinator of MundoGEO#Connect Latin America 2012. “Participants will be in touch with some of the most experts on satellite images in Brazil and will be able to interact with the presenters in the sessions of questions and answers. Furthermore, the intermissions will also be great opportunities to know the fair of products and services of the event, which will present the main providers of satellite images”, he concludes.
