Recent Trends in AI for Earth Observation and Pathways Forward
Earth observation (EO) is increasingly used for mapping and monitoring processes occurring at the surface of Earth. Data acquired by satellites nowadays allow us to have a global view, consistent in time, of the state of our forests, oceans, and growing urban areas. However, such a wealth of data has little value without appropriate processing chains able to convert the pixel values to information useful for decision makers. Recently, machine learning has seen fast advances—especially thanks to the rise of deep learning methodologies—and is increasingly deployed in EO image processing systems. The ever-growing models from computer vision and natural language processing have inspired developments in remote sensing, and new approaches are constantly proposed in the field.
In this talk, our recent developments in the context of artificial intelligence for EO will be presented. Particular attention will be given to our sensor-agnostic learning system defined based on cross-sensor masked autoencoders and its evolvement as an efficient foundation model for EO. We will also shortly present GAIA (which is a global, multi-modal, multi-scale vision-language dataset for EO) and present our recent work on redundancy-aware pretraining of vision-language foundation models. Finally, we will discuss potential pathways for future research.
