I am ready to work as a paid consultant for companies those who are in need of assistance in developing algorithms for SAR Images ie speckle noise removal, segmentation, change detection.
In your field of work, I understand that you should undertake the search oriented to two particular areas: the public sector and the private sector. I recommend you start putting together two projects, one for the detection of buildings for subnational fiscal controls. And on the other hand, aim with another project to work with agricultural cooperatives in fruit-growing areas to advise on irrigation and harvest times, analyzing the colors and water needs of the plantations. I hope I have helped you, best regards!
Based on my life-long experience in combining academia and consultancy, please be advised the following.
Strife to create/join a network were you will be asked for a consultancy project, rather then the other way around. One way is to go to public meetings in the context of EIA and speak up as an expert that may offer solutions.
Further to the advice of Frederico, prepare a client-customized printed project portfolio, short and well illustrated with a few maps that you can present when visiting a potential client .
Think and discuss from the clients perspective, not from your skills perspective.
