There are several MAGicians in the CESBIO laboratory, and I am one of them (with all due modesty). According to my definition, MAGicians are participants to Mission Advisory Groups, for instance for CNES or ESA satellite projects. These days, I participate to the MAG for Sentinel-HR at CNES, and for Sentinel-2 Next Generation at ESA. […]
Sentinel-2
Because it’s a stunning place that I will probably never visit, I have spent some time to make a 3D visualization of Mount Everest using QGISthreejs plugin in QGIS. I draped the 24 Oct 2021 clear-sky Sentinel-2 image on a gapfilled version of the HMA 8m digital elevation model (like in this post on the […]

Au cours des quatre dernières années le glacier d’Ossoue a perdu en moyenne 6 mètres d’épaisseur. Par endroit, son amincissement dépasse 8 mètres, soit 2 mètres par an. Cette carte a été obtenue par le traitement de couples d’images stéréoscopiques Pléiades (CNES/Airbus DS) acquises le 8 octobre 2017 et le 9 octobre 2021. En octobre […]

The Indus basin has one of the largest irrigation system in the world. Available water resources are abstracted almost entirely, mostly for crop irrigation in Pakistan. The Indus basin is also considered as one of the large basins in Asia with the highest dependence on snowmelt runoff. The contribution of snow and ice melt to […]

=> Les techniques de l’état de l’art en Deep Learning permettent-elles une délinéation individuelle de chaque parcelle de culture, comme le laisse penser cet article récent ? C’est ce que nous avons cherché à savoir au cours d’un stage au CESBIO en cherchant à qualifier l’architecture Mask R-CNN pour cette tâche. Nous vous livrons ici […]
Comment ça marche /how it works
=> Do state-of-the-art deep learning techniques allow for individual delineation of each cropland, as suggested by this recent article? In the context of an internship at CESBIO, we tried to evaluate the performance of Mask R-CNN architecture for this task. In this post, we summarize what we learned. Mask R-CNN principles To sum up, Mask […]
