===  * '''New!''' Context Specific Self-supervised Pre-Training for Remote Sensing Applications (Semantic Segmentation, Change Detection, Socio-Economic Indicator Estimation, ...) (B/M/P) ===
Satellite images in combination with Machine/Deep Learning models have shown to be an effective tool for analysis and monitoring tasks regarding disasters, deforestation, climate change, socio-economic estimation and others. The training of these models usually rely on labelled ground-truth data, which is labour intensive and therefore often scarcely available. To overcome this limitation, models are often trained in self-supervised approaches with unlabelled data, such as Contrastive Learning or Masked Autoencoders. However, these approaches are completely independent and not related to the intended downstream task. In this project/thesis the relationship between the pre-training task and the model performance on the downstream task will be explored and self-supervised training approaches tailored for a selected remote sensing downstream task (semantic segmentation of trees, tree crown share per pixel estimation, change detection of disasters, socio-economic estimation, ...) will be developed.

===  [Occupied] Tree Growth Detection using Satellite Images and Computer Vision Methods (B/M/P) ===
A tree planting project in Madagascar was initiated several years ago. The outcomes of this project shall now be evaluated by analyzing satellite images of the study area with Computer Vision methods. In a first step, very high resolution (VHR) satellite images from 2023 with a resolution of 0.5m will be used to identify trees with object detection / semantic segmentation. In the next step a lower resolution (5m) satellite image time series starting in 2015 will be used for change detection to identify, in which locations the project was  (un)successful.
