[TriLUG] [TAR] [Venue Change: EB1 1007 - TAR Meeting Monday October 2nd, 7 pm]

Mon Oct 2 23:30:38 EDT 2017

Friends,

Thanks for attending our monthly session today.  Both sessions from NCSU
experts and their team were great, demonstrating a glimpse of NCSU R&A
research(into action) potentials.  Our IEEE RA24 chapers honors and appreciates
their highly impressive efforts, passion, drive for the technology.  We all
wish continued success and the very best to all their career & life.

Just fyi, there is a three day hands-on workshop on Unmanned Aerial
Systems(UAS) - how to efficiently use a drone to collect and get most out
of the data with current imagery processing techniques starting on Oct 4th,
2017.  There is still room for a couple people, if anybody interested
please directly contact jajezior at ncsu.edu.

Further, anybody interested in volunteering, learning and contributing to
ecoPRT project in future, feel free to reach out to Dr. Hollar.

Thank you.
