Dynland-2
Object based context aware self-learning network for land cover classification
Prime Contractor: Institute of Electronics and Computer Science
Project number: 4000133163/2020/NL/CBi
Scientific manager: Dr.sc.comp. Ints Mednieks
Time frame: from April 1, 2021 to August 31, 2022
There are two overall objectives of the Dynland-2 project:
- to augment our self-learning land cover classification technology Dynland with capabilities to perform object based context aware classification
- evaluate the prototype software by doing a feasibility study to extract tree species information at microstand level from Sentinel 1 & Sentinel 2 in Latvia.
We will accomplish this by:
- doing a study into current state of the art in object segmentation methods
- doing a study into the state of the art in contextual information fusion
- implementing geomatics workflows and build new software prototypes modules.
These will augment our existing land cover classification technology and software Dynland.
As a result of this project, we will deliver a feasibility study, technical reports and web-accessible software prototype for unsupervised object based context aware land cover classification.
We will perform an internal and external evaluation of the technology with some of the currently interested parties in forestry management.
