Proyect Goals

• To create a new collaboration network in remote sensing for agriculture and related areas, area of research of relevance for Chile and Uruguay, with high potential economic impact.
• To develop algorithms on prediction, modeling, estimation problems, with applications satellite data from agriculture fields
• To promote the participation of young researchers in the collaboration network in topics related to Image processing / Computer Vision
• To promote and foster reproducible Science in the fields of Image processing Computer Vision
• To forster applied research on Smart Agriculture and Remote Sensing solutions with potential impact in France and South America
