RSiM group led by Prof. Begüm Demir is part of the Faculty of EECS at the TU Berlin. Our group performs research in the field of processing and analysis of remote sensing images for Earth observation with interdisciplinary approaches associated to remote sensing, machine learning, signal & image processing and big data management.
Leonard Hackel was awarded the Rolf-Niedermeier-Award for the best master thesis in Computer Engineering of TU Berlin. In his thesis, he developed lightweight transformer-based visual question answering (VQA) models for Earth observation. For details, click here.
We will host "MagicBathy - Multimodal multitAsk learninG for MultIsCale BATHYmetric mapping in shallow waters" research project funded through the HORIZON Europe MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships for the period 2023-2025. The project aims to establish an advanced framework for low-cost shallow water mapping.
Together with our partners within the TreeSatAI project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, we released the TreeSatAI benchmark archive that is a multi-sensor, multi-label dataset for tree species classification in remote sensing.

RSiM is involved in a new project 'EOekoLand: Earth Observation and Artificial Intelligence for Monitoring Organic Agriculture' funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action for the period 2022-2025. In this project, we will collaborate with the Thünen-Institut and the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) in Germany.
BigEarth (which was founded based on an ERC-funded project) has turned into a permanent research group (BigEarth: Big Data Analytics for Earth Observation) at the Berlin Institute for the Foundations of Learning and Data (BIFOLD) and will be led by Prof. Demir.
