On May 4th, 2023, an online workshop on Self-supervised learning (SSL) in Earth Observation based forest inventory was conducted by VTT and the ESA RepreSent project consortium. Altogether 103...
Deep learning (DL) and computer vision are rapidly gaining popularity in forest inventory. However, the scarcity of available reference data limits the effective use of DL tools. Self-supervised...
You may remember the Forest Carbon Monitoring project that was presented in a news item last year. This project aims to set up and pilot a prototype of a forest biomass and carbon monitoring system...
The three-year Forest Flux project Innovation Action project of the Horizon2020 program was successfully completed according to the original schedule. Forest Flux developed a service chain to support...
The recent article ‘Demonstration of large area forest volume and primary production estimation approach based on Sentinel-2 imagery and process based ecosystem modelling’, published in the...
Continuing the presentations of projects utilizing Forestry TEP, we are excited to tell you about the new Forest Carbon Monitoring (FCM) project to be launched in July. In this project, a forest...
We continue our blog series of projects utilizing Forestry TEP by introducing a visionary project aiming to lay foundation for a digital replica of forest ecosystems. The Forest Digital Twin Earth...
Inspired by the Assesscarbon project blog posts, we decided to start a blog series highlighting projects utilizing Forestry TEP. In the coming weeks, we will introduce ongoing projects and the role...
With this post, we would like to inform you about the upcoming changes in the platform operations and to highlight the opportunities available to you. On 1 April 2021, Forestry TEP enters a new...
Over the past year, we have been following the progress of the Assesscarbon project in a series of blog posts. The project, which was coordinated by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and...
In our previous Assesscarbon blog post, we told how the project had reached an important milestone and was ready to start implementing a processing pipeline for forest biomass and carbon monitoring...
A few months ago we introduced the Assesscarbon project project in our blog series. The project develops and demonstrates at a pre-operational level an approach for large area forest biomass and...
Assessment of the climate contributions of the forestry sector require transparent methods to monitor forest biocarbon dynamics. Recent rapid technological and scientific development has enabled...
The Forestry-TEP platform and Forest Flux carbon assimilation project were presented in the Pecora/ISRSE Conference in October in Baltimore. About five hundred remote sensing scientists mainly...
It is all about fire these days! Just three weeks ago we showed some images of the Siberian wildfires in our blog, and since then the Amazon fires have been high on the agenda of all news agencies....
One of the greatest benefits of online processing platforms like Forestry TEP (F-TEP) is their connectivity to other online systems used in forest management, enabling efficient and fast cooperation...
It is not unusual to have wildfires in Siberia in the dry months of the summer. But this year, hot and dry weather combined with strong winds have fuelled fires to such an extent that a state of...
The new Sentinel series of satellites launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) provide unprecedented amounts of satellite data for Earth observation. Full utilization of the possibilities...
Tropical dry forests are experiencing some of the highest rates of deforestation and degradation around the world. These ecosystems are particularly at risk due their fragility and the high demand...
It happens quite often that you hear the claim that in our era of science and technology, the common man lives amid an overwhelming information flow. With satellites and space technology, we no...
