IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems (AESS) and Geoscience and Remote Sensing (GRSS) Societies Speaker Series Presents Dr. Dalton Lunga

Abstract: The advancements of Earth observation sensing technologies and high-performance computing hardware continues to create opportunities for new use-inspired transformative R&D that is impacting some of the complex societal challenges including disaster mapping, poverty mapping, infrastructure mapping, food security, change monitoring, and energy management. This talk will provide an overview of ORNL GeoAI activities. We will revisit emerging trends for generalizable and scalable mapping with GeoAI as driven by machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing. Our discussion will highlight impacts in infrastructure mapping with satellite data, geospatial-driven natural language processing challenges for image understanding and other tools for spatiotemporal exploration and analysis of the largest known repository of open-source data. We will also briefly talk about collaboration, employment, and internship opportunities at ORNL.

Location: The meeting will be hosted in two locations: one in Cobb County and one in Midtown Atlanta. When you register for the event, please specify if you will join for lunch at one of those two locations, or if you will join virtually.
