Abstract
In the Institute for Earth Observation of Eurac Research, the key mission is the monitoring of environmental parameters in mountain regions.
Relying heavily on remotely sensed data from various satellite missions, machine learning is an essential technique applied for extracting information on those environmental processes from the big data streams.
Classification of land cover, automatic detection of clouds and the determination of outlines of glaciers are some of the fields where machine learning is applied.
During the presentation an overview will be given on which machine learning techniques are currently applied, for which fields of application and how they are trained.
