IGARSS 2022
17-07-2022 - IEEE
The International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) is the flagship conference of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS). It aims to provide a platform for sharing knowledge and experience on recent developments and advancements in geoscience and remote sensing technologies, particularly in earth observation, disaster monitoring, and risk assessment. GLOBHE will present our work fighting malaria with earth observation data with drones.
Story Maps
Use Cases
Tracking damage caused by natural disasters
High-resolution earth observation data is instrumental in tracking environmental changes caused by natural disasters. Drones can get better images and more insightful data, such as 3D models or heat maps, to allow us to map damages and focus relief efforts.
Tracking malaria mosquito breeding sites
In Malawi, malaria is one of the top three causes of death among children under five years old. Every year, malaria is estimated to cost Africa more than $12 billion us dollars, even though it could be controlled for a fraction of that sum. High-resolution EO data is used in vector control to locate, monitor, and manage existing and new larvae breeding sites before mosquitoes hatch and transmit the virus to humans.
Tiny bug, major damage. How to control spruce bark beetle infestations
The spruce bark beetles have caused massive damage across Europe for the past few years. Because it is time-consuming to inspect forests on foot, we used high-resolution EO data with drones to inspect damaged trees to help and get an overview of the forest industry. The data is rapidly processed through a dedicated AI model to identify the infected trees automatically.
