SUMMARY:GIS and Spatial Analysis Fundamentals – III (Geocoding)
DESCRIPTION:This is the third workshop about the fundamentals of GIS and spatial analysis this semester. Each workshop covers one or two key elements and is self-contained. The focus is on conceptual details that can provide sufficient preparation for applications\, but we will also touch upon the technical aspects. Most workshops will have at least one hands-on exercise. Typically\, each workshop is divided into one hour of lecture-style presentation and half an hour of hands-on exercises.  \n  \nGeocoding (or sometimes reverse geocoding) is often a very first step in many geospatial analyses. There are many options available for geocoding with different degree of accuracy. A basic understanding of the process helps you in choosing the best option. The workshop will cover basic concepts in geocoding\, different open-source and proprietary options available\, accuracy and reliability in geocoding\, and best practices. We will use R and ArcGIS.

SUMMARY:Introduction to performance analysis of scientific software\, or "Why is my program slow?"
DESCRIPTION:We all had this: “My program is too slow”. We all have heard: “Use Fortran and C++\, they are fast.”  But will it really help? We all have heard also: “Don’t bother\, use Python and R on a better computer”\, and “HPC clusters are fast”.  But what does “better” and “fast” even mean?   In this workshop\, we will observe\, measure and discuss performance behavior of various scientific workloads\, and learn about typical performance classes and basic performance measuring methodology.  In the end\, you will be able to classify your expected workload and make an educated guess whether changing the programming language\, upgrading the computer\, or applying for cluster computing time would likely be advantageous. \n  \nParticipants are expected to know the basics of programming in some (any!) programming language. Some familiarity with the Unix command line would be helpful\, but is not required. If you wish to follow hands-on demonstrations\, you will need to use your own computer and have a UMich account.

SUMMARY:3D Visualization Software: Data Visualization with Unity3D and C# (Part 2)
DESCRIPTION:This is part of a series of workshops covering 3D game engines and animation software for research and data visualization. Registration to all parts of this series is not required\, but each workshop will expect a different level of experience\, which will be acquired if the viewer attends all events. \nUnity3D is a popular game engine among schools and independent developers. It is also increasingly used for “serious” applications that require interactive 3D graphics\, from mobile apps\, virtual and augmented reality\, computer vision and artificial intelligence\, and real-time CGI film production. It offers a free option to download for non-commercial projects\, and can export projects to run on a large variety of platforms. \nIn this workshop\, we’ll use Unity3D to render 3D visualizations of a dataset. Users will have a prototype that they build from for real applications. \nA basic familiarity with any computer programming language (C# will be used during the session) and the Unity3D interface is recommended to get the most out of the workshop. To take part\, users will be responsible to use their own laptop with Unity3D (available for Windows\, Macintosh and Linux) pre-installed. Additional project files will be provided to registered users ahead of the workshop date. \nPlease register at least 48 hours in advance.

SUMMARY:GIS and Spatial Analysis Fundamentals – II (Data models: vector\, network)
DESCRIPTION:This is the second workshop about the fundamentals of GIS and spatial analysis this semester. Each workshop covers one or two key elements of GIS and spatial analysis and is self-contained. The focus is on conceptual details that can provide sufficient preparation for applications\, but we will also touch upon the technical aspects. Most workshops will have at least one hands-on exercise. The first one hour of the workshop is a lecture-style presentation\, followed by the next half-hour for the hands-on exercises. Unless mentioned otherwise\, we will use R and/or QGIS for the hands-on portion.  \n  \nHow data is recorded in digital systems has significant implications for accuracy\, algorithms\, and the type of analyses that can be undertaken.  In this workshop we will cover data structure for vector and network data in the context of a 2-D GIS system. The focus is on developing a basic understanding of elements such as essential primitives\, how more complex objects are derived from the primitives\, and different formats and file systems.  \n  \nParticipants should have some familiarity with R\, but exposure to QGIS is not required.

Each workshop covers one or two key elements of GIS and spatial analysis and is self-contained. The focus is on conceptual details that can provide sufficient understanding for applications\, but we will also touch upon the technical aspects. Most workshops will have at least one hands-on exercise. Typically\, each workshop is divided into one hour of lecture-style presentation and half an hour of hands-on exercises. Unless mentioned otherwise\, we will use R and/or QGIS for the hands-on portion.  \n  \nThere are 100s of coordinate systems and datums available in modern software that provide GIS functionalities. A basic understanding of different coordinate systems\, their strength and limitations\, and conversion between different systems are essential for choosing the right system and manipulating geographically referenced data. In this workshop we will cover basics of coordinate systems for 2-D GIS from an applied perspective.  \n  \nParticipants should have some familiarity with R\, but exposure to QGIS is not required.

SUMMARY:Object Detection using Deep Learning with TorchVision
DESCRIPTION:Like many image processing problems\, deep learning has brought many effective solutions to the task of object detection. The TorchVision library is part of the PyTorch project\, and it offers well-established and successful methods for object detection (as well as many other problems). This workshop will demonstrate the process of preparing your own image dataset and training it using TorchVision with one of Google Colab’s free-to-use GPUs. The workshop will be done online via Zoom. Some experience with Python is helpful\, but no previous experience with PyTorch is needed. Google Colab requires a Google account (e.g. your umich account).

SUMMARY:Android Application Development: Introduction to Android Studio
DESCRIPTION:Mobile app development is one of the biggest new industries of the last decade. If you are developing an Android app for the first time\, the first option you will likely find is “Android Studio\,” a free integrated-developer-environment (IDE) provided directly by the Android team at Google\, using the Java programming language. It’s a good starting point for experienced programmers to build an Android app from scratch. \nWe will present a brief overview of the “Android Studio” environment\, and provide a step-by-step example to make an app with multiple ‘activities’ and using built-in ‘sensors.’ A familiarity with the Java programming language is recommended to get the most out of the seminar. Participants who want to program during the workshop are recommended to install “Android Studio” in advance and to use their own laptops to use during the presentation. \nPlease register at least 24 hours in advance. Event may be canceled if pre-registration is low.
