A few days ago, I posted about a recent wildfire in Tres Cantos, Madrid, Spain, sharing images of Pléiades Neo and Sentinel-2 that showed the extent of the fire. Since the Sentinel-2 data products can be downloaded for free and they include multispectral data covering 13 bands including visible, near infrared and short wave infrared… Continue reading Multispectral analysis of the Tres Cantos wildfire with Sentinel-2 data| Daniel Estévez
This post is going to be slightly unusual for the topics of this blog, because there is no RF, but nevertheless there is space-based remote sensing, which fits somewhat well with the things I usually write about. I wanted to write down this information somewhere, and it was too long for a series of tweets.| Daniel Estévez

It surprises me that, despite all the advances in AI, computers cannot easily and accurately separate crowns of individual trees in a tropical forest seen from space. It can be done but it is not easy. Figure 1. Forest of the Sangha Trinational in Republic of Congo, from a satellite image, access| Botanics Stories
A long-overdue check-in conversation with Tom Hengl, , director at OpenGeoHub and one of the leading scientists in earth observation and remote sensing—one of the most cited in his field, belonging to the top 0.1% (based on Clarivate Highly Cited Researchers). We discuss the significant changes in the world of remote sensing, satellites, and the hype surrounding AI, machine learning, and large language models over the past three years. While the hype has brought some interesting advancement...| Investing in regenerative agriculture
