Windthrow accounts for more than half of all damaged timber in European forests. The SWIFTT platform will help foresters to quickly measure damage from a recent storm and coordinate a faster post-storm response, limiting the risk of future threats. Quentin Voituron tells us more in the video below. Quentin Voituron is a forest risk analyst at AXA Climate (FR). He is dedicated to leveraging scientific methodologies and advanced data analysis to craft tailored parametric coverage solutions for the forestry sector. #environment #forestry #satellites #ai #machinelearning #horizoneurope Ariane Kaploun | Quentin Voituron | Nataliia Kussul | Annalisa Appice | Laura Veinberga | Chiara Solimini | Xavier Aubry | Quentin d'Huart | Juris Zarins | Hanna Yailymova | Andrii Shelestov | EUSPA - EU Agency for the Space Programme

Chi siamo
SWIFTT will provide forest managers with affordable, simple and effective remote sensing tools backed up by powerful machine learning models. Forest worldwide are the habitat for the majority of amphibian, bird, and mammal species. They are also home to 300 million people and provide livelihood for another 1.6 billion. Benefits delivered by this ecosystem – in the form of hydrological regulation, erosion prevention, and carbon storage, among others – amount to over €100 trillion per year, more than the whole global GDP. Despite highly resilient to long-term changes in environmental conditions, forests are vulnerable to sudden changes, such as insect outbreaks, wildfires, and windthrow, i.e. the uprooting of a tree caused by the wind. Those risks are intensified by climate change: insects breed more frequently, more dry fuel for wildfires becomes available, and the frequency and severity for large storms increase. As a result, countless habitats are lost, and CO2 sequestered yearly decreases by over 4850 million tons. However, with early and appropriate action, risks can be contained, and the economic and ecological damage can be reduced. That is the goal of the SWIFTT consortium, composed of AXA Climate (FR), Da Vinci Labs (FR), Groupe Coopération Forestière (FR), Leibniz University Hannover (DE), Rigas Mezi (LV), Space Research Institute of Ukraine (UA), University of Bari Aldo Moro (IT), Timbtrack (BE), and Wildsense (FR). Our solution will offer a holistic health monitoring service using Copernicus satellite imagery to detect and map the various risks to which forests and their managers are exposed. The project has been awarded a highly competitive grant in the Horizon Europe funding programme, being one of 7 projects selected in the topic 'EGNSS & Copernicus applications fostering the European Green Deal' managed by EUSPA. Funded by the European Union under Grant Agreement 101082732.

Check out the SWIFTT Project new video! By combining this Copernicus Sentinel's rich satellite data and powerful machine learning models, SWIFTT will help foresters 🌳 identify changes in tree health, map dieback in their forests, and coordinate sanitary cuts faster, 🌪 map windthrow damage for post-storm forest management, and 🔥 identify areas at high risk of wildfires. All this will allow foresters to deal with these threats proactively and efficiently allocate resources for insect outbreaks and wildfire fire prevention. #environment #forestry #satellites #ai #machinelearning #horizoneurope #EUSpace EUSPA - EU Agency for the Space Programme Film Production by Selçuk Kaplan, filmproductionsk.com

🚀 Exciting News! 🚀 Our latest research article from the KDDE Lab has been published online in the proceedings of IGARSS 2024 - IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium! 🌍 📄 Title: Potential of Spectral-Spatial Analysis to Map Forest Tree Dieback Due to Bark Beetle Hotspots in Sentinel-2 Images 👥 Authors: Giuseppina Andresini, Annalisa Appice, Dino Ienco, Donato Malerba, Vito Recchia 📜 Abstract: Forest tree dieback inventory is crucial for improving forest management strategies. In this study, we investigate a spectral-spatial machine learning approach to analyze Sentinel-2 images and detect forest tree dieback events caused by bark beetle infestations. We compare the performance of classification models trained with Random Forest, XGBoost, and Multi-Layer Perceptron, as well as semantic segmentation models trained with U-Net. The study focuses on a region in Northeast France impacted by the 2018 bark beetle infestation. Results reveal that U-Net, when using both spectral and spatial data, outperforms other models, although the simpler Random Forest model also shows competitive results. This work is a collaboration with INRAE, UMR TETIS, University of Montpellier, Montpellier Cedex 5, France. It has bee funded by the EU SWIFTT Project.

KDDE - Knowledge Discovery and Data Engineering (https://kdde.di.uniba.it/) is excited to share a research article just published OPEN ACCESS in the Journal of Intelligent Information Systems! Title: DIAMANTE: A data-centric semantic segmentation approach to map tree dieback induced by bark beetle infestations via satellite images Authors: Giuseppina Andresini, Annalisa Appice, Dino Ienco & Vito Recchia Abstract: Forest management just got a tech upgrade! Our study introduces a cutting-edge approach to monitoring tree dieback caused by bark beetle infestations using satellite images. Leveraging advanced deep learning techniques and multisensor data from the Copernicus program, we demonstrate how our method can effectively detect and map affected areas without the need for traditional, time-consuming field surveys. This research was tested on real data from the Northeast of France, highlighting its potential to revolutionize forest management practices. This is a result of the SWIFTT Project! If you're interested in the intersection of AI, environmental science, and remote sensing, this paper is for you! https://lnkd.in/dTj2UfY8 #Research #AI #DeepLearning #RemoteSensing #ForestManagement #Copernicus #EnvironmentalScience #SWIFTT
