2nd IQmulus Workshop - GeoBigData'15

The second IQmulus Workshop, entitled GeoBigData'15, was organized during the ISPRS Geospatial Week 2015. It hosted two keynotes, the IQmulus Processing Contest (IQPC) special session with 3 track presentations and 17 technical presentations : 3 30' talks and 14 posters with short talks.

Keynotes

In the first keynote, shared with all events, Elmar Eisemann (TU Delft) presented the state of the art in the computer graphics community on the management, visualization and interaction with large-scale geospatial data sets. The second keynote was presented by Robert Emanuele (Azavea), who is the lead developper of Geotrellis. He gave an overview on the rising open source technologies for distributed processing of geospatial big data.
