Remote Sensing
This is the approved revision of this page, as well as being the most recent.
This page is about the applications of machine learning (ML) in the context of remote sensing. For an overview of remote sensing more generally, please see the Wikipedia page on this topic.
Machine learning can be applied to remote sensing data to infer climate-relevant information. Some selected examples include:[1]
- Mapping power grids and solar panel locations.
- Mapping building footprints.
- Pinpointing occurrences of deforestation.
- Creating an inventory of global greenhouse gas emissions.
