Welcome to our News Room.

Our Dates


Visit us at Intergeo in Berlin from October 10th to 12th

At the Intergeo in Berlin we will be present with two main topics.

  • We will be happy to show you how we have systematically integrated CNN and Python into our Tama Basis process to further optimize working with the capabilities of eCognition.
  • Among our other solutions for satellite and aerial imagery, we will mainly present our ABC – Information Factories – Architecture | Building | Construction. Here we take care of analyses of roofs, building edges, facades, tracks, tunnels up to ground penetrating radar analyses for non-destructive detection of the position of infrastructure objects in the ground. We use satellite data as well as aerial imagery, drone data, ground penetrating radar data and mobile mapping.

You can find us at the Trimble booth, hall 27, booth E27.27.

Stop by and see us. We will be happy to show you what you can do with eCognition and look forward to interesting discussions.

Tama Group eCognition User Conference 2022 – 29. Juni 2022 in Gräfelfing, Munich

In remote sensing, too, the ‘cloud’ is increasingly becoming the central location for storing and processing geodata. We want to shed light on this topic in this year’s User Conference in connection with eCognition. We approach our topic “eCogntion – Up to the Cloud?” with keynote speeches from three different perspectives. We continue with an international panel to discuss methods and applications. Here, too, we cover a wide range and show examples of eCognition use.

We look forward to you discussing all these exiting topics with us. There will be a mix of presentations in german and english language.

Participation in our eCognition User Conference is free of charge. If personal participation is not possible, we also offer the possibility to participate live via video conference. For more information and registration click here.
