A NOTE FROM THE ORGANIZERS
The educational needs and interest of society in technological fields are rapidly changing. Basic higher education is commonly not sufficient to meet educational needs in the field of remote sensing. The SPatial LITeracy Remote Sensing (SPLITRS) Summer School is an international and interactive event between universities, research institutions and private firms that considers state-of-the-art remote sensing technology, sophisticated and comprehensive modeling approaches, data analysis, and sophisticated software capabilities – all of which is incorporated in the framework of building a well-designed strategy to protect natural resources and public well-being.
The process of globalization requires a specific role of teachers to adapt themselves for international opportunities, rearranging their skills, achievements, and previous experiences.
We try our best to create professionally healthy and relaxed atmosphere during the SPLITRS events, where all participants feel comfortable and equally treated regardless of their gender, orientation, religion or race.
Young people are our future and our future starts now.

PRESENTERS
Jorge Delgado-García
Dr. Jorge Delgado-García received his Ph.D. in Geology (Geostatistics) from the University of Granada (Spain) in 1993. He is currently an Associate Professor in Cartographic, Geodetic, and Photogrammetric engineering at the University of Jaén (Spain). His main interests are photogrammetric (image and laser) data acquisition & processing and 3D modeling, applied to different applications. He has extensive international experience in the execution of cartographic projects and in the development and implementation of new methodologies. Dr. Jorge Delgado-García will teach a hands-on lecture on LiDAR processing with LAStools.
rapidlasso GmbH
rapidlasso GmbH was founded in 2012 by lidar pioneer Dr. Martin Isenburg. The company’s flagship product, the LAStools software suite, is a collection of 56 highly efficient, batch-scriptable, multicore command-line tools for processing point clouds. All tools can be run from the command line via the new native GUI *laslook* or via toolboxes (ArcGIS PRO, QGIS, FME, Erdas).
“Tools for a Better Tomorrow:…..
LAStools are popular for their blazing speed and high productivity. The software combines robust algorithms with efficient I/O and memory-efficient management to achieve high throughput for datasets containing billions of points. The software runs on Windows and Linux. It has deep market-penetration and is widely used across industry, government agencies, research labs, and educational institutions. The ability to script the modules makes them ideal for use on web servers or in the cloud” (Lidar Magazine, 2023).
Dr. Martin Isenburg was a lecturer at the SPLIT REMOTE SENSING Summer School for six years, from 2014-2019.
Mattia Callegari
Dr. Mattia Callegari received both the bachelor and master’s degrees in Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering from the University of Trento, in 2010 and 2012 respectively. His Master thesis regarded snow-pack parameters retrieval in Alpine areas from Synthetic Aperture Radar and remote sensed optical data. In 2015 he received the Ph.D. degree on Alpine cryosphere dynamics monitoring using remote sensing techniques and ground-based data at the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Pavia. Since 2016, he is a researcher at EURAC-Institute for Earth Observation (Bolzano, Italy). His main fields of expertise are: alpine cryosphere monitoring with satellite data; image processing and classification; machine learning; SAR data processing including SAR polarimetry and interferometry. As a researcher at EURAC-Institute for Earth Observation he collaborated in many national and international projects. Dr. Mattia Callegari will teach a hands-on lecture on SAR with a practial session on processing of SAR images.
