On-Orbit Real-Time Wildfire Detection Under On-Board Constraints
Matthias Rötzer, Veronika Pörtge, Martin Ickerott +6
We present a deployed system for on-orbit wildfire detection aboard a nine-satellite commercial thermal infrared constellation, operating under demanding joint constraints: sub-meg…
Learned Image Compression for Earth Observation: Implications for Downstream Segmentation Tasks
Christian Mollière, Iker Cumplido, Marco Zeulner +3
The rapid growth of data from satellite-based Earth observation (EO) systems poses significant challenges in data transmission and storage. We evaluate the potential of task-specif…
Transfer Learning for Onboard Cloud Segmentation in Thermal Earth Observation: From Landsat to a CubeSat Constellation
Niklas Wölki, Lukas Kondmann, Christian Mollière +3
Onboard cloud segmentation is a critical yet underexplored task in thermal Earth observation (EO), particularly for CubeSat missions constrained by limited hardware and spectral in…
On the Generalization of Agricultural Drought Classification from Climate Data
Julia Gottfriedsen, Max Berrendorf, Pierre Gentine +4
Climate change is expected to increase the likelihood of drought events, with severe implications for food security. Unlike other natural disasters, droughts have a slow onset and…
