Block Course: Deep Learning. Introduction to Deep Learning For Forestry Applications Background
Satellite Earth observation has become a key technology in forest monitoring. With the European earth observation program Copernicus, a program exists that provides access to temporally high-resolution and freely available satellite images, and this worldwide. New analysis methods are needed to deal with the huge amounts of data; machine learning offers excellent opportunities here. Even with UAVs, huge amounts of data are often generated when, for example, ground resolutions of 2 cm are used. Concrete evaluation topics are e.g. the detection of game damage or the differentiation of tree species.
