SDL AI and ML for Remote Sensing

SDL AI and ML for Remote Sensing

Mission

The Simulation and Data Lab (SDL) Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) for Remote Sensing (RS) conducts interdisciplinary research at the intersection of remote sensing applications and large-scale AI, integrating distributed and emerging computing technologies, including supercomputing and quantum computing. The SDL collaborates closely with the Simulation and Data Lab RS of the Icelandic HPC community (University of Iceland) and IEEE GRSS, particularly its Technical Committees on Earth Science Informatics (ESI) and Quantum Earth Science and Technology (QUEST). Additionally, it partners with international universities and research institutions on joint initiatives, including research projects, teaching programs, community support, and student supervision at various academic levels.

Within the Program-oriented Funding (PoF IV) of Helmholtz Information, this group contributes to Program 1 “Engineering Digital Futures”, Topic 1 “Enabling Computational- & Data-Intensive Science and Engineering” and is part of the European Joint Virtual Lab on Artificial Intelligence, Data Analytics and Scalable Simulation (AIDAS).
