Dear AI scientist/engineer/student/enthusiast,

the Artificial Intelligence and Information Analysis (AIIA) Lab of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, in cooperation with the International AI Doctoral Academy (AIDA) offers the 2024 ‘AIIA/AIDA Winder School on ‘AI and big Data Analytics for Inspection/Surveillance, Disaster Prevention and Management” (3-4/12/2024) covering the following topics:

• Big Data Analytics for Natural Disaster Management (NDM), e.g., of forest fires and floods. In such cases, drone images are complemented with satellite images, meteorological data, maps, and social media posts to form big data chunks that must be co-analyzed for efficient NDM.
• Drone Imaging for infrastructure inspection and surveillance, e.g., for damage detection in industrial pipelines and electrical installations.

This school consists of two courses:

1. Short course on Big Data Analytics for Natural Disaster Management, December 3rd, 2024.
2. Short course on Deep Learning and Computer Vision for Industrial Infrastructure Inspection, December 4th, 2024.

These courses are organized by the Horizon Europe R&D projects TEMA and SIMAR, respectively.

• Interested students, scientists and engineers can register in each of these courses free of charge and separately using the above links.

School Organizer: Prof. Ioannis Pitas
