Deep Earth Query: Information Discovery from Big Earth Observation Data Archives | AI FOR GOOD
0Earth observation (EO) data archives are explosively growing as a result of advances in satellite systems. As an example, remote sensing (RS) images acquired by ESA’s Sentinel satellites (which are a part of EU’s Copernicus program) reach the scale of more than 10 TB per day. The “big EO data” is a great source for information discovery and extraction for monitoring Earth from above. Thus, accurate and scalable techniques for RS image understanding, search and retrieval have recently emerged. In this talk, a general overview on scientific and practical problems related to RS image characterization, indexing and search from massive archives will be initially discussed. Then, our recent developments that can overcome these problems will be presented. A particular attention will be given to our deep hashing network that learns a semantic-based metric space, while simultaneously producing binary hash codes for scalable and accurate content-based indexing and retrieval of RS images. Finally, the BigEarthNet benchmark archive, which is one of the largest benchmark archives to support the deep learning studies in EO, will be introduced. \n\n Speaker:\nBegüm Demir\nProfessor & Founder of Remote Sensing Image Analysis (RSiM)\nTechnische Universität Berlin\n\n Moderators:\nMaria Antonia Brovelli\nProfessor of Geographic Information Systems and Digital Mapping\nPolitecnico di Milano\n\n#GEOAI #AIforGoodDiscovery\n\nJoin the Neural Network! \nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/neural-network/\nThe AI for Good networking community platform powered by AI. \nDesigned to help users build connections with innovators and experts, link innovative ideas with social impact opportunities, and bring the community together to advance the SDGs using AI.\n\n Watch the latest #AIforGood videos!\n\n\nExplore more #AIforGood content:\n AI for Good Top Hits\n • Top Hits \n\n AI for Good Webinars\n • AI for Good Webinars \n\n AI for Good Keynotes\n • AI for Good Keynotes \n\n Stay updated and join our weekly AI for Good newsletter:\nhttp://eepurl.com/gI2kJ5\n\n Discover what's next on our programme!\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/programme/\n\nCheck out the latest AI for Good news:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/newsroom/\n\nExplore the AI for Good blog:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/ai-for-good-blog/\n\n Connect on our social media:\nWebsite: https://aiforgood.itu.int/\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/ITU_AIForGood\nLinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/26511907 \nLinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8567748 \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aiforgood \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AIforGood\n\nWhat is AI for Good?\nWe have less than 10 years to solve the UN SDGs and AI holds great promise to advance many of the sustainable development goals and targets.\nMore than a Summit, more than a movement, AI for Good is presented as a year round digital platform where AI innovators and problem owners learn, build and connect to help identify practical AI solutions to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.\nAI for Good is organized by ITU in partnership with 40 UN Sister Agencies and co-convened with Switzerland.\n\nDisclaimer:\nThe views and opinions expressed are those of the panelists and do not reflect the official policy of the ITU.
