MANTIS Director, Dr. Michael Starek, post-doctoral fellow Dr. Mohammad Pashaei, and Ph.D. students Xiaojun Qiao and José Pilartes-Congo represented MANTIS at the 2023 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) in Pasadena, California, between 16-21 July, 2023. The IGARSS conference, a globally recognized platform for Earth and geospatial science professionals, witnessed the participation of a record number of students this year. Their involvement underscored the rising interest and importance of remote sensing technology in addressing critical global challenges.

Presentations Titles:

Application of Semantic Image Segmentation for Efficient UAS-SfM Mapping
Coastal Subsidence Analysis Between Houston and Galveston, Texas, U.S.A.
Impact of Different GNSS Solutions on UAS-SfM Vertical Accuracy for Shoreline Mapping
Implementation of a ZED 2i Stereo Camera for High-Frequency Shoreline Change and Coastal Elevation Monitoring

As IGARSS 2023 drew to a close, it was evident that MANTIS’ research would continue to advance the frontiers of remote sensing and contribute to our understanding of Earth's complex systems.
