Machine learning for Earth Observation: Emissions, mitigation and sequestration
0Constellations of satellites such as the SENTINELs provide almost daily coverage of the earth using a variety of sensors: multispectral and hyperspectral images, synthetic aperture radar, LIDAR, etc. Recent advances in machine learning allow us to process these images at planet scale on a near real-time basis and to paint a very broad picture of key climate related topics such as greenhouse gas emissions, wildfire risk, flooding or carbon sequestration in forests. This talk will cover some of these examples in depth, illustrating some key open numerical challenge.\n\nSpeakers:\n\nAlexandre d’Aspremont\nResearch Director, Co-founder\nCNRS (Centre national de la recherche scientifique) & Kayrros\nModerator(s):\n\nGustau Camps-Valls\nProfessor in Electrical Engineering\nUniversitat de València\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\n Stay updated and join our weekly AI for Good newsletter:\nhttp://eepurl.com/gI2kJ5\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/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.
