Smart Sky: Transforming Earth Observation through AI

SMART SKY: TRANSFORMING EARTH OBSERVATION THROUGH AI

Live Talks & Q&A

Satellite images are not only amazing to look at – they deliver a huge quantity of valuable information: The satellites of the European Copernicus program alone generate a daily data volume of around 20 terabytes. That's roughly equivalent to a one-and-a-half-year-long movie in HD. How do researchers unlock secrets about the state of the earth and gain knowledge about the development of e.g. biodiversity from this massive flood of data? In three engaging lectures, scientists from NASA, BIFOLD, and the Planetarium will explain the significance of satellite images, modern AI techniques used to analyze them, and potential applications of these analyses, while sharing some of their most spectacular satellite images in the planetarium dome.

Program

• “Introduction: Earth – a “Universal” Perspective”, Anna Green, Stiftung Planetarium Berlin 
• “Making NASA’s Satellite Data mean More”, Manil Maskey, NASA 
• “The Colors of the Ocean: Mapping Our Seas with Deep Learning”, Panagiotis Agrafiotis, TU Berlin / BIFOLD

The live talks and Q&A take place on the occasion of the BIFOLD workshop “Machine Learning and Data Management for Earth Observation”.
