- Connecting to the internet
To connect to the internet, you will need to send us the MAC address for your phone in this form before you arrive. To find your mac address:
- Open the “Settings” app
- Navigate to General > About (for iPhone) or About phone (for Android)
- The Wi-Fi MAC address will be listed under “Wi-Fi Address” (iPhone) or “Wi-Fi MAC address” / “Hardware Information”/”Status Information” (Android).
- Send us the information as soon as possible, so that we can get it added to the system.
Once you arrive on campus, we will show you how to connect to the network.
- Working pairs
During the practical sessions, attendees will work as pairs. Check your assigned pairings here.
- Required working materials
The only thing that attendees are required to bring is the data that they wish to analyze, preferably on a hard drive.
We remind attendees that if they bring their own datasets for analysis, these should be representative samples and not necessarily the entire dataset. We will not have time to run analysis protocols on large datasets of hundreds of GB, so we recommend pre-selecting representative data to develop your image analysis process, which can then be applied to your complete datasets.
If attendees require last minute adjustments to their datasets, an image analysis computer will be available to perform resizing of datasets, however this needs to be done outside of teaching hours. Please let one of the organisers if you require this.
Please note: all data will be deleted from the computers once the course is finished, as we cannot provide data storage after this date.
If you do not have data to analyze, the course supervisors will provide you with reference images.

The university offers a free bus that can be taken from the Metro Escuela Militar station (line 1, Red) at this pickup location.
To get to the pickup location, if taking the metro from Los leones direction, take the staircase closest to the front of the train (which is just by the lift), and exit down the steps. turn right, then take the stairs up by the Lider food shop on the right hand side. Cross the road on the zebra crossing, and the pick up location is on the island.
To help, Luz and Charlotte will be at the metro exit, and the pick up point, from 8.10am to meet attendees, in order to take the 8.25am bus together to the U. Mayor campus. They will also send pictures to the whatsapp group on Monday morning, to show you which exits to take. Please leave extra time to find the pickup location, since it’s easy to leave via the wrong exit.
Other regular bus schedules are as follows:
7:40 – 8:00 – 8:25 – 9:00 – 9:30 – 10:00 – 11:00
If you miss this (8.25am) bus, you will need to take a taxi to arrive on time.

Payment for urban transport is unified through the use of the BIP Card, which can be purchased and recharged at any metro station, at human cashiers (cash only) or automatic recharge machines, which accept cash and credit/debit cards.
The BIP card can be recharged using the RED MOVILIDAD APP or through the website tarjetabip.cl.

After topping up electronically, you must validate the balance at any self-service kiosk or ATM in metro stations.
If your phone has NFC technology, you can directly validate your BIP card top-up through the RED MOVILIDAD app.
RED MOVILIDAD is integrated with Google Maps. If you search for a specific address, it will provide you with transportation options and bus stops.
