Artificial Intelligence School
Given the interest in artificial intelligence and its applications, the Institute of Applied Physics of the CNR (IFAC-CNR) together with the Microwave Remote Sensing Center (Ce.Te.M.) and with the support of IEEE and its Chapters (in particular GRS29-CNI and GRS29 SI) organizes a school on the applications of remote sensing techniques to the earth's surface.
The school will be held from 19 to 23 May 2025 at the Academy of Sciences and Drawing (in via Orsanmichele, 4, in Florence). The program includes the participation of the main Italian researchers and university professors who deal with AI. The courses will focus on the following topics:
- An overview of Artificial Intelligence techniques and applications,
- Once upon a time there was the Bayesian approach of parameter retrieval,
- Machine Learning Applications for remote sensing of soil moisture,
- Vegetation biomass and snow,
- Physics Based AI in Earth Observation,
- Deep Learning methods for characterizing urban areas using radar and optical sensors,
- Quantum Machine Learning Applied to EO,
- Snow Cover Fraction Mapping from Optical Imagery: A Progression from NDSI Thresholding to Nonlinear Machine Learning Based Unmixing,
- Marine macroalgae extraction using remote sensing and AI.
The organizers of the school are Simonetta Paloscia, Simone Pettinato and Emanuele Santi of IFAC-CNR.
Participation fees are approximately €250 and must be paid upon confirmation of registration (by April 30th). Given the limited number of places, acceptance of registration beyond this date cannot be guaranteed.
Applications for participation must arrive by April 15th to this email address:
