Time series classification for new-generation Earth observation satellites

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to develop time series classification methods for satellite images, to produce accurate temporal land-cover maps. Latest generation satellites have just begun imaging Earth frequently, completely, in high-resolution, and at no charge to end-users – an unprecedented opportunity to monitor the flux of our planet's systems. However, time series classification techniques do not scale to handle such wealth of data. The project anticipates its time series technologies will be applicable in agriculture planning, fire prevention, and disaster mapping, and that substantially greater value can be derived from significant investments into Earth Observation programmes.
