IEEE GRSS All Japan Chapter invited Akira Hirose to hold a "Distinguished Lecturer Program in Local Language" talk (announcement flier)
26 November 2015

Date & Time: Nov 26 (Thu), 2015, 13:00-14:00
Place: Sakura Hall, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan
Host: Motoyuki Sato & Akira Hirose (IEEE GRSS All Japan Chapter)
Title: ”Advanced Neural Adaptive Processing in Interferometric and Polarimetric Radar Imaging”

The lecture was held in Sakura Hall, Tohoku University Katahira Campus, Sendai, Japan. More than 60 audience gathered to discuss the highly useful adaptive processing of complex-valued and quaternion neural networks in Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) and polarimetric SAR (PolSAR). This was the first “local language” DLP talk held by All Japan Chapter. The audience was mostly Japanese but some were foreign residents familiar with Japanese language. It is noteworthy that many radar system company people attended at the talk so that a lot of practical questions were given to the speaker in the following reception in the evening. It has been found that a local language DLP widens the types of participants, which is favorable for the society membership promotion.
