Satellite Imagery Meets Computer Vision: A Tutorial for wildfire detection in Australia using Python
Over the past decade, Mother Earth has been harmed by unprecedented wildfires. A wildfire can be described as an uncontrollable fire that is spreading across the Wildland, Forests, Grassland, e.t.c. Wildfires have a huge impact on Humans, Nature, and the Economy and these are the major cause of greenhouse gas emissions.
The Majority of the wildfires are caused by humans practices such as agriculture burning. The below animation shows the wildfire data in 2019 across the world collected by NASA’S Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite. …

What is Detectron2?
Detectron2 is an opensource object recognition and segmentation software system that implements state of the art algorithms as part of Facebook AI Research(FAIR). It is a ground-up rewrite in PyTorch to its previous version Detectron, and it originates from MaskRCNN-Benchmark.
You can see the details of Detectron2 along with the benchmark comparisons, different applications, customizations, and brief up on nuts and bolts of its working nature from PyTorch DevCon19.
The Detectron also provides a large collection of baselines trained with Detectron2 and you can access…

Introduction to Remote Sensing
Remote sensing is the process of detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of an area by measuring it's reflected and emitted radiation at a distance (typically from satellite or aircraft). Special cameras collect remotely sensed images, which help researchers “sense” things about the Earth.
Electromagnetic energy, produced by the vibration of charged particles, travels…

A simple tutorial on Ground Truth labeling of satellite imagery using K-Means Clustering Algorithm using Python
In Research w.r.t Supervised Machine Learning problems, we often encounter data that has no labels. Data labeling is the process of identifying raw data (images, text files, videos, etc.) and adding one or more meaningful and informative labels to provide context so that a machine learning model can learn from it.
It is no different when compared to problems in remote sensing, Here we need to define a label for every pixel of the satellite imagery which is further used to train machine learning models for land cover classification, finding objects, e.t.c.
The ground truth labeling can be divided into…

Embed your interactive plots in Medium, Webpages, and other platforms using Plotly and Chartstudio
There is no such thing as information overload. There is only a bad design. — Edward Tufte
We all know a picture is worth a thousand words, data visualization is the visual summary of the information that makes it easier to understand/identify patterns and trends instead of looking at thousands of rows in spreadsheets. A good data visualization place the meaning of complex datasets in a precise and concise way. An interactive data visualization makes it even easier to understand and find insights from the data.
This article covers creating different interactive plots using Plotly and embedding interactive data visualizations…

A Python hands-on tutorial on Land Cover Classification of Satellite Imagery using Convolutional Neural Networks.
Land cover classification using remote sensing data is the task of classifying pixels or objects whose spectral characteristics are similar and allocating them to the designated classification classes, such as forests, grasslands, wetlands, barren lands, cultivated lands, and built-up areas. Various techniques have been applied to land cover classification, including traditional statistical algorithms and recent machine learning approaches, such as random forest and support vector machines, e.t.c.
This article covers a hands-on Python tutorial on the land cover classification of satellite imagery using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN).
