"Object Segmentation and Detection in Remote Sensing Images Based on Deep Learning Methods: Theory and Practice Using PyTorch Framework"
High resolution remote sensing images contain detailed information, making it possible to recognize objects within them. This interactive tutorial will begin by introducing some of the state-of-the-art detection and segmentation methods based on deep learning and explaining their building blocks. The focus will be on road, building, and vehicle classes as well as crowd detection and density estimation, which will be highlighted with visual demonstrations. This will be followed by a quick hands-on experiment involving the audience. During the tutorial, some networks will be processed live, and their training process as well as their results will be analyzed and discussed jointly with the audience. Concluding this interactive tutorial will be a live demonstration of real-time object detection on an embedded board.
The PyTorch framework will be used throughout the tutorial.

"Terrestrial laser scanner and accelerometer based deformation monitoring of civil engineering infrastructures"
Today, short- and long-term deformation monitoring of civil engineering infrastructures based on terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) and accelerometers has received considerable attention. In the scope of this workshop, we will address three major issues in this regard.
a) Introduction of the used sensors (accelerometer, TLS)
c) Analysis concepts (basic concepts in time series analysis as well as adjustment calculations) including surface computations and comparisons
The third part is dedicated to practice the time series analysis of datasets from the accelerometers and 2D profiles of the TLS. In addition, cloud-to-cloud comparison is presented and practiced based on a freely available software tool.

"Projections of Climate Change, Evapotranspiration, and Net Primary Production over Iran's Climatic Zones using General Circulation Models"
We will explain how to use climate-based models for projections of evapotranspiration (ET) and net primary production (NPP) over Iran's climatic zones under changing climate by General Circulation Models (GCMs). Additionally, the sensitivity of ET and NPP in response to climate change across diverse climates of Iran will be examined. This cooperative workshop is a part of a joint project supported by Iran National Science Foundation (INSF) and Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) to enhance the scientific connections and cooperation between Belt and Road Initiative (B&R) countries.
