Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks

Copernicus, the European Union’s Earth observation programme, and the commercial Planet-Scope data together provide extensive and steadily growing data archives. Using them for earth observation requires appropriate analysis methods and sets new requirements for algorithms and computing capacity.

Deep learning, a subdomain of artificial intelligence, has proven to be an adequate concept for analyzing large volumes of data (big data). These data archives permit neural networks to learn and at the same time form the basis for extensive analyses and efficient monitoring. A particular highlight: The system can be adapted very easily to all sorts of different geographical conditions.
