Brett Shoelson, MathWorks
This session provides an overview of using MATLAB for geospatial image and data analysis. Using imagery acquired from USGS Web Services, we will demonstrate the development and application of an algorithm to quantify from aerial imagery the portion of land under irrigation.
This session is intended for anyone interested in using MATLAB to analyze geospatially-oriented data.
Highlights include:
Additionally, we will demonstrate the registration of aerial images and the positioning of cellular towers to optimize coverage.
Highlights include:
