A three day workshop organised by ZRC SAZU and CNRS brought together 50 researchers, specialists and students in exploration and processing of lidar data to present the latest methodological advances and discuss different ways of understanding and integrating the results of lidar surveys. The key themes were pathways and movement, deep learning from ALS data, complementary data sources and their integration, ontologies and knowledge modelling for comparing and integrating case studies.
B.02 Presiding over the programming board of a conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 43798317A four day workshop organised by the Université François-Rabelais de Tours, CNRS, and the international ModeLTER institute brought together specialists in exploration and processing of lidar data, archaeologists, biologists, physicists, and forest management experts to present the latest methodological advances and discuss different ways of understanding and integrating the results of lidar surveys. The key themes were the links between human practices (pastoral, forestry etc.) and their microtopographic signatures; data interpretation and management on a regional or national level; advanced data processing; and automatic processing of lidar data.
B.01 Organiser of a scientific meeting
COBISS.SI-ID: 40065325Maja Somrak held a lecture titled Machine learning: From everyday life to scientific applications at the University of South Florida. The lecture, which was presented at Digital Archaeology class, covered key concepts of machine learning algorithms as well as their wide range of applications. In order to fully grasp the role of machine learning and its impact, we first took a look at all the different applications where we already encounter machine learning in our daily lives, regardless of whether we are aware of it or not. The main emphasis of the lecture, of course, was on the existing and potential applications of machine learning for scientific purposes, including its use in archaeological and spatial studies.
B.04 Guest lecture
COBISS.SI-ID: 42272813Different types of remote sensing technologies and techniques are not only expanding our understanding of natural and human phenomena and processes, but are also increasingly shaping our everyday behaviour. Newly available platforms, such as small satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles, sensors, for example lidar and hyperspectral, as well as open data policies are providing researchers, professionals, policy makers, and the public with unprecedented wealth of information and influence development of new scientific fields and private sector initiatives.
B.04 Guest lecture
COBISS.SI-ID: 42556973The lecture, given within the postgraduate program "Estudios Mesoamericanos" (Instituto de Investigaciones Filológicas, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México), presented preliminary results of the here reported research project, both of the analyses of lidar imagery and of ground-truthing carried out in 2017 and 2018 field seasons.
