Enabling the Future Internet for Smart Cities

Enabling the Future Internet for Smart Cities

The Future Internet will integrate large-scale systems constructed from the composition of thousands of distributed services, while interacting directly with the physical world via sensors and actuators, which compose the Internet of Things.

InterSCity researchers seek to apply novel Computer Science and Technology techniques to tackle urban social problems in underprivileged neighborhoods and low-income populations, leveraging existing data and collecting and analyzing new datasets to support Evidence-based Public Policymaking.

ForestEyes’ Project new campaign in Zooniverse platform

The ForestEyes’ Project needs your help to track tropical forests’ deforestation. You can contribute analyzing and classifying remote sensing image tiles in Forest or Non-forest. Those remote sensing images are from LANDSAT-8’s bands, freely available at Earth Explorer. The pixels have 30m resolution which means that each pixel corresponds to an area of 900 square meters. Access https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/dallaqua/foresteyes/classify and contribute to the project!


Eduardo Bouhid Neto awarded best undergraduate paper prize at the Conference on Patterns, Graphics and Images (in Portuguese)

No encerramento da Conference on Patterns, Graphics and Images (SIBGRAPI 2023), em Rio Grande – RS, o aluno da Unifesp Eduardo Bouhid Neto foi agraciado com o prêmio de melhor trabalho de graduação. O artigo é fruto da Iniciação Científica do aluno e contou com a coautoria de Paulo Roberto Costa Pedro e do Prof. Dr. Álvaro Luiz Fazenda, além da orientação do Prof. Dr. Fabio Augusto Faria.

O trabalho propôs um arcabouço de seleção de bandas de imagens multiespectrais de sensoriamento remoto utilizando o algoritmo de estimação de distribuição estocástico (UMDA).
