Technological transfer (2010)

Between 18th and 25th November 2010, the ICC, jointly with the Institut Geològic de Catalunya (IGC), taught the seminar titled "Introduction to radar technology and specific applications" for Venezuelan technicians training in the field of oil extraction. The aim was to showcase, with case studies, the technology and
methodologies: Interferometry and differential Interferometry with radar images to detect ground deformation (subsidence, displacement, deformation, etc.); radargrammetry techniques for generating digital elevation models; application of radar technology to detect volumes (natural oil deposits) in marine areas; introduction to polarimetry.

Comprehensive cartographic project in Morocco (2006-2008)

The ICC made a technical assistance of the ANCFCC and results were reported for future actions. In addition a study regarding the new geodetic network in Morocco. The ICC also established a protocol for quality control of the topographic maps of Morocco at 1:25,000 scale. That protocol was used by the ANCFCC to control the tasks subcontracted to third parties.

Environmental monitoring and management system in Yunnan (2006-2007)

The ICC designed a geographic information system prototype for the monitoring and management of environmental alarms in the region of Yunnan. The hardware and software required was purchased, and the technical staff of the YEPB was trained to operate the system. Also an study of viability with a complete economic anaylisis, financial and environmental was given, considering the future challenges and the present reality.

Technical assistance for the Republic of Namibia (2004-2005)

Technical attendance of the ICC to the CBS to implement a GIS. For the execution of the courses, the ICC had the collaboration of the Universitat Autònoma of Barcelona (Laboratory of Geographic Information and Remote Sensing, LIGIT), the Universitat de Girona (Service of SIG and Remote Sensing, SIGTE) and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Fundació Politècnica de Catalunya, FPC). The formation was conceived to address the necessities of the personnel of the CBS.

Advising on airborne altimeters (LIDAR technology) (2004)

Advising and training for the implementation of the airborne laser technology, LIDAR, with the purpose to successfully apply it in Mexico territory. These activities consisted in a course and in the development of two workshops at the headquarters of the INEGI and of the ICC, focused in the implementation of integral LIDAR solutions.

Formation in GIS technologies and census data use (2001-2002)

Formation project carried out for the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) of the National Planning Comission, Government of Namibia. The objective is to provide autonomy in the use of GIS technology to executive positions and technical personnel of the CBS, necessary for the elaboration, operation and dissemination of the census. The formation program has settled down in three parts: "Basics and concepts on cartography and GIS", "Cartographic context for a GIS. Origin and use of geographic data infrastructures" and "GIS to produce maps and Internet mapping. Census dissemination".
