Abstract: IMonitor: AI for Monitoring Changes and Food Supply from Space is a new Munich Aerospace research group at the Data Science in Earth Observation of Technical University of Munich, in close collaboration with DLR and IABG. In this new venture, scientists will focus on developing novel machine learning approaches for monitoring landscape changes at regional, national and continental scales using the EU Copernicus satellite missions.
Earth observation data, combined with a variety of other information sources (e.g., financial trends, ground information, weather and climate patterns), enable monitoring of the Earth almost on a daily basis. To enhance the benefits created by European satellite programs, the AI4EO research group will develop solutions for decision support and detection of changes in land cover and land use. It aims to make important contributions to disaster management and food security.
