MIGARS 2024 Conference @ Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand

The International Association of the IEEE-Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS), the IEEE-Computational Intelligence Society (CIS) and the local organising committee invite geospatial and computing professionals to attend the International Conference on Machine Intelligence for GeoAnalytics and Remote Sensing (MIGARS) to be held in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand in April 2024.

MIGARS aims to explore the interface of machine intelligence approaches with geosciences, spatial analytics, and remote sensing. With the tremendous developments in remote sensing technology, data acquisitions and sensing platforms, digital data have grown leaps and bounds to stream and are too big by volume, variety, and veracity. The challenge is handling, processing, and automating geo-data from various sources, such as multi-platform remote sensors and IoT devices, informing decision-making and monitoring our planet.

The conference will focus on connecting researchers from various disciplines, including computation/artificial intelligence, engineering, remote sensing, hydrology, agriculture and geosciences, and look for the potential use of intelligent computational approaches for geo-data-based applications and for serving society at large.
