SMART SKY: TRANSFORMING EARTH OBSERVATION THROUGH AI

How do researchers unlock secrets about the state of the earth? In three engaging lectures, scientists from NASA, the Planetarium and BIFOLD 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.

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.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
