eCognition User Summit Munich 2009

This year’s User Summit will be a memorable meeting. We have gathered some of the most prestigious global leaders in aerospace and remote sensing to speak at the event and share their vision and insights about the industry. Perhaps the biggest highlight of the day will be “Principles of Human Cognition Utilized for Automated Image Analysis” presented by our founder Nobel Laureate Gerd Binning.
