Dr. Chris Oliver to Teach Three-Day Synthetic Aperture Radar Tutorial at GSPx 2005; Tutorial Provides In-depth Look at SAR Imagery as Part of GSPx's High-Caliber Education Tracks.NEWTON, Mass. -- Global Technology Conferences, Inc. (GTC GTC See: Good 'til cancelled order GTC See good-till-canceled order (GTC). ) today announced that Dr. Chris Oliver, the leader in Synthetic Aperture Radar Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) Radar, airborne or satellite-borne, that uses special signal processing to produce high-resolution images of the surface of the Earth (or another object) while traversing a considerable flight path. (SAR (Segmentation And Reassembly) The protocol that converts data to cells for transmission over an ATM network. It is the lower part of the ATM Adaption Layer (AAL), which is responsible for the entire operation. See AAL. SAR - segmentation and reassembly ) Imagery will deliver a three-day tutorial at GSPx 2005. The tutorial, "Cutting-edge Multi-dimensional SAR Image Exploitation Tools for Remote Sensing Deriving digital models of an area on the earth. Using special cameras from airplanes or satellites, either the sun's reflections or the earth's temperature is turned into digital maps of the area. , Surveillance and Target Detection," will address the fundamental physical principles that determine the ability to extract information from SAR imagery. GSPx 2005 will take place October 24-27 at the Santa Clara Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. Convention Center in California. "We are honored to have Dr. Oliver join the select industry gurus who will present at GSPx," said Dr. Amnon Aliphas, conference chair. "As the leading expert in SAR Imagery, Dr. Oliver brings a critical technology expertise to our educational sessions that will deliver the type of forward-thinking GSPx attendees have come to expect. As precedence dictates, we look forward to yet another invigorating in·vig·or·ate tr.v. in·vig·or·at·ed, in·vig·or·at·ing, in·vig·or·ates To impart vigor, strength, or vitality to; animate: "A few whiffs of the raw, strong scent of phlox invigorated her" convergence of great minds exchanging ideas and exploring this technology." The SAR lecture series will start by examining the physical basis that underlies the information, introducing suitable models to represent the data, proposing algorithms for optimal information extraction In natural language processing, information extraction (IE) is a type of information retrieval whose goal is to automatically extract structured information, i.e. categorized and contextually and semantically well-defined data from a certain domain, from unstructured and discussing application examples. The five lectures include: 1. SAR Image Formation 2. Information from Intensity (I) 3. Information from Intensity (II) 4. Information from Polarimetry Polarimetry The science of determining the polarization state of electromagnetic radiation (x-rays, light or radio waves). Radiation is said to be linearly polarized when the electric vector oscillates in only one plane. (I) 5. Information from Polarimetry (II) Since 1981, Oliver has focused his research on SAR exploitation, setting up a research team to conduct long-term strategic research. Under his direction, a series of tools for linear image formation and image interpretation techniques were developed. The team also demonstrated the feasibility of real-time SAR processing. Recognizing that the technology's evolution warranted a fully focused research organization, Oliver founded InfoSAR in 2002. The company provides software, training and consultancy based on his SAR experience. Oliver has a physics degree from Oxford, and a doctorate in low energy nuclear structure from Liverpool University. He holds four SAR patents and is the author of the definitive book on SAR Imaging, Understanding Synthetic Aperture Radar Images. In recognition of his contribution to radar, he was appointed a Commander of the British Empire (CBE CBE Commander of the Order of the British Empire (a Brit. title) CBE n abbr (= Companion of (the Order of) the British Empire) → título de nobleza CBE n abbr (= ) in Her Britannic Majesty the Queen's Birthday Honors in 2002. Papers are now being accepted for the SAR segment of GSPx through June 30. For more information or a full description of the tutorial, visit www.gspx.com or e-mail info@gspx.com.
