To celebrate our 8th anniversary in Berlin, we released BigEarthNet.txt. It contains 464 044 co-registered Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 images with 9.6 M text annotations. For details, please click here.
The Remote Sensing Image Analysis (RSiM) group at the Faculty of EECS, TU Berlin and the Big Data Analytics for Earth Observation (BigEarth) group at BIFOLD are led by Prof. Begüm Demir. Our groups perform 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.

Prof. Dr. Demir has been awarded the Proof of Concept (PoC) Grant by the European Research Council (ERC) for her project: Agent-BigEarth: An AI Agent to Support Environmental Intelligence by Interacting with Copernicus Earth Observation Data. For details, please click here.
Barış Büyüktaş successfully defended his PhD thesis titled “Advanced Federated Learning Methods for the Analysis of Remote Sensing Images Across Decentralized and Unshared Archives” and received the distinction 'summa cum laude'. Congratulations Barış!
At the European Society of Cardiology's Digital & AI Summit in Berlin, Prof. Demir presented how big data in Earth Observation (EO) can support the research and development on cardiovascular care, and how the AI models and tools for EO can enhance this field.
GAIA 2025 will spotlight the transformative role of Foundation Models (FMs) in Earth Observation (EO), Geospatial Science, and broader Earth and Planetary Sciences. Prof. Demir is one of the organizers. For details, please click here.
