INFROM: Training Seminar in Riga, Latvia

Moving forward in its successful implementation, the Project “Integrated Intelligent Platform for Monitoring the Cross-Border Natural-Technological Systems” (INFROM) organized the training seminar for target groups within the Project activities on 21-22 November, 2013 at Riga Technical University (RTU).

The purpose of the training seminar was to demonstrate to target groups the basics of remote sensing data processing technology and its application to natural and technological objects monitoring, as well as to approbate developed integrated intelligent platform for flood monitoring of Daugava river. Among the participants there were representatives of the Executive board of the Northern district of Riga city, municipalities of Daugavpils and Madona, as well as officers of the State Fire and Rescue Service of Latvia and academics from Latvian universities.

The first day of the training seminar was held on 21 November presenting theoretical background and practical assignment of Geo information systems in analysis and planning of territorial development (QGIS software).

During the second day on 22 November, the topicality of the monitoring of natural-technological objects was discussed and functionality of the profound processing technology of remote sensing date by means of ScanEx Image Processor software was demonstrated throughout practical assignments performed by seminar participants under a supervision of INFROM project researchers. The operation of the developed information-simulation system for flood forecasting was demonstrated to the representatives of the target groups.

Presented information arose an active discussion, during which the project staff responded to numerous questions of seminars participants on further implementation of the project developments.
