[GRASS-dev] Fwd: RE: Interest of linking GRASS with GEOBIA 2016 (at ITC/Univ Twente)?

[Moritz Lennert]

Dear all,

The organisers of GEOBIA 2016 [1], a conference on GEOgraphic 
Object-Based Image Analysis, are showing a strong interest in giving 
GRASS a visibility at the conference (see below). A particularly 
interesting activity is the benchmarking contest [2] which could allow 
to test approaches combining GRASS tools with others (R, Python, etc) 
and possibly improve our tools.

I will not have much time to invest in this, but I'm willing to help 
whoever wants to go for the challenge.

So, anyone out there ?

Moritz

Dear Moritz, Pietro and Markus,

I wish you all a happy and successful New Year.

Thanks, Markus, for pushing this a bit and getting Moritz and Pietro
involved. Moritz, please see if you can get work out on the
GRASS/R/Python lists to drum up a bit of support and interest in the
GEOBIA conference, and especially the benchmarking exercise. The
best-performing contributors will be invited to co-author a paper on the
benchmarking work later on, likely in the context of a special
post-conference issue of Remote Sensing. I was personally quite
surprised to hear that GRASS was being extended to include OBIA
capabilities - there must be some folks doing research based on GRASS
that are interested in GEOBIA. For us I guess they are outside our
mailings lists, hence I fear that we miss those - a bit of help from you
here would be great. If some people from your community were to attend
I'd be happy to have them bring a poster/banner or similar that we could
display during the industry exhibition to create some advertisement for
GRASS, if you considered that useful.

Best regards, Norman

I agree that this would be a great opportunity. As I've already told
you, I'm trying to cut down all non-necessary work to a strict minimum
in the next year as I really have to get going on my PhD. Nevertheless,
I'll see with some colleagues who were interested in testing GRASS in
their research whether we can do something together based on that.

Something to launch on the mailing list might be to see if anyone is
willing to go for the benchmarking contest using GRASS (together with R
or Python for the classification):

All the best for the new year,

Moritz
