2^nd IJGI Webinar

The Rise of Artificial Intelligence for Space Applications

The webinar is structured as a panel where the chair, Prof. Dr. Maria A Brovelli, interviews researchers of the ESA Φ-lab about AI for Earth Observation (AI4EO), to discover with them the most innovative ideas and transformative technologies.

While today the new boost of AI4EO is mainly related to Computer Vision applied to high-resolution satellite imagery, there are many other areas for Earth Science, prediction and big data analytics that could benefit from AI. In particular, Deep Learning is pushing AI to new levels beyond human performance.

This panel will give an overview of the current successes and challenges of AI for Space Applications and present a few methodological use-cases which will lead to impactful Earth observation applications, from self-supervised learning to neuromorphic learning.

Webinar Content

On Thursday, 24 February 2022, MDPI and the ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information organized the second IJGI webinar, entitled "The Rise of Artificial Intelligence for Space Applications".

In this event, we discuss how the combination of Earth Observation Data and Artificial Intelligence are disruptive in studying our world. The researchers involved in the panel belong to the ESA Φ-lab, which is a Division in the Future Systems Department of the EO Programmes Directorate based in ESA-ESRIN in Frascati (Italy). You will have a flavour of the exciting Φ-lab activities in the first presentation, given by Bertrand Le Saux. The topics presented, where AI is playing a pivotal role, are various and all cutting edge: applications on Health and on the study of the Cryosphere but also Hyperspectral Images, Quantum Neural Networks, Neuromorphic Computing and Cognitive Computing.

The presentations were followed by a Q&A, moderated by the Chair. The webinar was offered via Zoom and required registration to attend. The full recording can be found here on Sciforum website.
