Workshop: Data analysis methods for monitoring vegetation characteristics from satellite products

18 November 2022
satellite from space

What: Online workshop on the use of satellite products
When: 18 November 2022, 9.30-12.30 CET
Where: Zoom

Satellite images are becoming increasingly available. They now allow to monitor the characteristics of terrestrial vegetation with a good spatial and temporal resolution, which opens up many application perspectives related to biomass estimation, land use classification, water stress monitoring, and even prediction of commodity prices and food insecurity assessment. However, the use of satellite images poses many methodological challenges concerning data analysis and the development of predictive models.

The objective of this workshop is to present recent research works with a substantial data analysis component (statistical analysis, machine learning, data visualization etc.) and related to the analysis of satellite products to monitor the states of terrestrial vegetation. Each presentation will focus on a specific vegetation monitoring objective and present a range of technical solutions to analyze large datasets derived from satellite observations.

Speakers of the workshop include:

Zheng FU (LSCE), Pedro Coimbra (ECOSYS, INRAE), Fabienne Maignan (LSCE), Florian Teste (MIA-Paris-Saclay, Université Paris-Saclay/Atos) and Gustau Camps Valls (Image Processing Lab (IPL), Universitat de Valéncia)
