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.
