December 20, 2017

Our 2017 EAGLEs spend a great day at DLR-EOC close to Munich and learnt a lot about applied remote sensing. Beside talks about a variety of topics did the EAGLE students also have the chance to discuss in small groups with DLR scientists their research or recommendations on needed skills.

Claudia Künzer welcomed all EAGLEs and various members of her department gave insights into their current research topics such as Soner Üreyen on tracing change processes, Emmanuel Da Ponte Canova on analysing sustainable land use in Paraguay or SAR applications by Anna Wendleder. Additionally coastal research and imaging spectroscopy were covered by Christina Eisfelder and Uta Heiden.

Überwiegend werden eigene originäre Texte und Bilder des EORC genutzt, jedoch sind einige Inhalte von blog post Texten teilweise mit Hilfe von KI überarbeitet worden und einige Bilder sind ganz mit KI erstellt, die jedoch deutlich keine photorealistische Darstellungen abbilden. Aussnahmen sind KI generierte fernerkundliche Datensätze, die explizit für Forschungszwecke mit KI erstellt wurden, hier wird aber durch den assoziierten Text der wissenschaftliche Grund der KI generierten Bilder erläutert.
