Artificial Intelligence School
SUMMER SCHOOL
19-23 May 2025
SCHOOL ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS FOR EARTH OBSERVATION
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) and the patronage of the Italian Society of Remote Sensing (AIT) 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 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 toNonlinear Machine Learning Based Unmixing
•Marine Macroalgae Extraction Using Remote Sensing and AI
Applications for participation must arrive by April 15th, 2025 to this email address, s.paloscia@ifac.cnr.it, by filling out the form downloadable below.
The registration fee (250€) should be paid by April 30th 2025 by bank transfer to Centro di Telerilevamento a Microonde (Ce.TeM.) (IBAN: IT85C0623002812000030535989, SWIFT: CRPPIT2P093). A debit note will be issued following payment.
