Exploring In-Situ Data: Definitions, Sources, and Training Applications
Steffen Fritz is the Program Director of the Strategic Initiatives Program and principal research scholar in the Novel Data Ecosystems for Sustainability (NODES) Research Group of the IIASA Advancing Systems Analysis Program. He is the initiator and driving force behind Geo-Wiki.org and several other projects and currently leads the development of the new Picture Pile Platform, which is funded by an ERC Proof of Concept Grant.
About his presentation
In this session, a broad introduction to In-Situ Data and the definitions used will be given. It will provide an overview of authoritative and non-authoritative data sources, the importance of In-Situ Data for training remote sensing deep learning models (showcasing WorldCover and C-GLOPS training data sets, etc.), and other citizen science data (e.g. iNATURALIST etc.). Methods will also be discussed for how in-situ data can be extracted from Mapillay and Streetview.
