Eminent scientists and professors from leading Indian institutions guiding the programme.
The SERB-sponsored Two-Week High-End Workshop on HYDA-22 was organised by CQEDS, BIT Mesra under the Karyashala scheme of SERB-DST, gathering researchers from Agriculture, Forestry, Oceans, Geology, Environment, Defence, Climate Change, and Medical Science alongside Computer Science and Data Science professionals. Resource persons from IITs, ISRO, DRDO, IARI, and national universities delivered the full Hyperspectral Data Analytics pipeline.
“VRITIKA is the call for initiation and practice in science through Training and Skill Internship.”
The SERB-sponsored four-week Training and Skill Internship on “Hyperspectral Data Analytics” was organised by DQEDS, BIT Mesra from 3rd July to 30th July 2023. Distributed in 42 sessions over 28 days, hands-on training in open-source Python covered the complete data science life cycle.
Beginning with data collection from Hyperspectral Sensors and UAVs all the way to model building and visualization — participants gained practical expertise in the full hyperspectral analytics pipeline.
“Hyperspectral Data Analytics would be a game changer. The data-centric approach is crucial for tackling 21st-century issues.”
Applications received from leading institutions across India:
Skilled resources from this program are filling the critical gap of researchers in Space Science and Hyperspectral Data Analytics in India. Participants came from Agriculture, Forestry, Oceans, Geology, Environment, Defence, Climate Change, and Medical Science.
