Are you a professional or a student in computer science, remote sensing or business school? Are you passionate about satellite imagery, machine learning, and deep learning? Do you have what it takes to conquer the challenge of cloud occlusion in satellite data analysis? If so, this is your moment to shine! We welcome you online and on-site at AI Sweden's office in Stockholm (address below) for a 2-day challenge, amazing keynote speakers, a lot of fun, and, last but not least, a prize of 5000 kr for the winning group!
Introduction: Unlocking the Skies ️
Prepare to dive into the vast world of satellite imagery data, courtesy of the European Copernicus project and the OpenDataCube (ODC). These incredible resources open doors to countless possibilities, from harnessing classical Machine Learning (ML) to deploying cutting-edge Deep Learning (DL) models.
But here's the twist! The sky's not always clear in the satellite world. Cloud occlusion is a formidable foe, lurking in the background, ready to disrupt your analysis. Can you detect it? Can you predict Cloud Optical Thickness (COT)? This is the challenge we pose to you!

Before the event
We will select the participants based on their LinkedIn profile and limit the number of groups (max 5 ppl per group) to 10-15.
