Development of an ICT-led “disaster science” in the Philippines

After what had happened in Japan of a shocking 8.9 earthquake and a devastating tsunami, a lawmaker in the Philippines called for the development of an ICT-led "disaster science" to make the country ready and equipped in terms of facing natural calamities.

Sen. Angara emphasized a need of a system that can monitor rain in real-time, as well as a low-cost wave monitoring system that automatically sends an alarm when there is an indication of vertical acceleration.

will be on March 22, 2011 at 5:30 – 6:30 PM (Manila time).

Rollyn Labuguen and Philip Redondo of Ateneo Innovation Center are going to present 3 of their projects using image processing for biological applications. The titles of their 20-minute talks are:

Talk 1: Automated Fish Fry Counting and Schooling Behavior Analysis Using Computer Vision

Talk 2: Image Processing Assisted Tool for Hand Movement Disorder Characterization

Talk 3: Specific Feature Tracking for Echo-cardiograms Using Image Processing"

Please email your Skype user name to Eduardo Mendozamendoza@lmu.de> by March 21 if you want to participate in this Skype phone conference. You will get the slides for the talks latest on March 21 so that you can follow the presentation.

It is recommended to use a headset (instead of microphone and loudspeakers) to reduce the echo effects during the phone conference.
