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.
