Ronald T. Eguchi, President and CEO of ImageCat, was invited to participate in the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology’s (RIT) weekly seminar series. In his presentation on April 17, 2024, Mr. Eguchi offered examples of how remote sensing technologies have changed the way in which community resilience to natural hazards worldwide is measured, monitored, and evaluated and discussed the as-yet untapped potential benefits of utilizing remote sensing to enhance resilience.  ImageCat has had an interesting connection with RIT as well, which he covered in his talk — RIT flew over Haiti after the 2010 earthquake to generate remote sensing imagery that was used in ImageCat’s crowdsourced damage assessment involving over 600 engineers and scientists worldwide.

As part of the RIT College of Science, the Carlson Center for Imaging Science is dedicated to producing the next generation of researchers and innovators to apply imaging science in research, environmental service, artificial intelligence, aerospace, and national security.
