The Earth Observation Research Cluster (EORC) invites to a talk by Sarah Hauser and Andreas Schmitt (see below), entitled “Wald5Dplus: An open benchmark dataset for the combined spatial, spectral, polarimetric and temporal characterization of forest stands using Sentinel-1 & -2“. The talk will be given in presence at the EORC (John-Skilton-Str. 4a) on Tuesday, May 13, starting at 3 p.m. We look forward to seeing you and having an interesting joint discussion. Save the date!

Wald5Dplus is an open benchmark dataset designed to advance AI-driven forest ecosystem monitoring through multi-sensor, multi-temporal data fusion. By integrating Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 optical data on hypercomplex bases, Wald5Dplus provides high-resolution Analysis Ready Data (ARD) cubes that capture spectral, polarimetric, and temporal characteristics across diverse German forest sites. Optimized with an ensemble-based Random Forest model, Wald5Dplus supports accurate, scalable predictions of forest attributes, demonstrating strong transferability across regions and underscoring its value for regional forest monitoring applications.
Tuesday, 13th of May, 03 p.m. | Seminar room 1 (00.B.04), John-Skilton-Str. 4a
