Steffen Fritz and Linda See at the Open-Earth-Monitor Science Webinar

In his session Steffen Fritz will give a broad introduction to In-Situ Data and the definitions used. The session 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.

In her session Linda See will provide a brief overview of the Geo-Wiki application for the collection of land cover and land use reference data using crowdsourcing and the visual interpretation of very high-resolution satellite imagery. These reference data have been used to create training data sets and to validate land cover/land use products in a range of different applications including cropland extent, forest management, and the drivers of deforestation, which will be presented in brief.
