DISA

Our friends at BTH invites our PhD-student to join their new course offered by the innovation office in Innovation and entrepreneurship during 2024. The course aims to support researchers in the process of taking research results to Innovation, impact and commercialization.

Research impact is no longer solely evaluated on academic publications and teaching programmes. The research funding landscape today expects a clear strategy regarding impact on society included in project proposals. Non-academic research dissemination, either through a start-up company or collaborations with established companies is therefore increasingly important.

The course is divided into three optional modules, i.e., you can register to one or several modules according to your interest (one credit per module). See attached course description for further information.

• The course starts at 2/4 with an introductory lecture
• The course is provided by Innovation office at BTH in cooperation with external expert representatives who will give lectures and seminars.
• Course registration is done by sending email to marie.netz@bth.se at the latest 28th of March.
• Please state your full name, department and research area AND which module(s) you want to take.
• Senior researchers are also welcome to attend and follow the course.

Abstract

Bridging temporal gaps in vegetation indices satellite data and forecasting the future – Tibo Bruneel, PhD student at Softwerk AB
In this research seminar I will present the machine learning work I have done so far in my PhD studies with some intermediate results. The research addresses the challenge of inconsistent temporal data gaps in Sentinel-2 vegetation indices time series and the forecasting of the vegetation index future.

Temporal data gaps occur in sentinel-2 optical data, mostly arising from factors such as cloud cover and adverse weather conditions. Having very inconsistent time series prevents further analysis such as detection, quality control and forecasting. Therefore we first address the data continuity challenge to obtain a consistent daily estimation of the vegetation index.

Given a consistent timeline of daily estimates, we further attempt to predict the near future of the vegetation index. Here we attempt to achieve both a high forecasting accuracy, and a strong generalisability over different locations in the world, as models trained on a single location often are hard to generalise on different environments.
