These AI and satellite mapping techniques are speeding up the process of disaster management
Scientists are now able to automate disaster mapping and provide full coverage of an entire state as soon as the satellite data is released, here's how.
Su Ye is a postdoctoral researcher with expertise in satellite data analysis and disaster mapping. He is part of the Global Environmental Remote Sensing Lab at UConn, which seeks to understand how the world is changing based on quantitative remote sensing. The lab uses a variety of remote sensing sensors, such as drones, small satellites, Landsat, Sentinel-2, MODIS, VIIRS, LIDAR, and radar to monitor environmental change at regional to global scales.
