EUMETSAT will host a Workshop on “Earth System Feature Detection”, 21-22 May 2025 at EUMETSAT Headquarters, in Darmstadt, Germany and online. This hybrid event aims to bring together developers and stakeholders from Member States to discuss ongoing and future efforts in feature detection from Earth Observation data.
The workshop aims to foster collaboration and exchange on feature detection methodologies among Member States and with EUMETSAT. It is planned to prioritise the features that are relevant for key applications and to develop a work programme that considers the division of work between Member States and EUMETSAT.
Key topics will include:
1. Exploring member state initiatives and EUMETSAT’s activities.
2. Developing a joined working environment for feature detection, including an annotation platform and database. This entails discussions on:
– Scope and content of joined working environment.
– Processes related to joined activities in the working environment.
– Technical design.
3. Defining how we will work together to maximise effectiveness with existing resources.
