Unit
The Computer Science Laboratory for the Environment and Earth Observation (ECEO) at EPFL specializes in using machine learning to extract patterns from Earth Observation data, ranging from mobile phone sensors to satellite imagery. They develop algorithms to organize and process heterogeneous and unstructured data acquired from various imaging devices. ECEO's research focuses on environmental AI, digital animal conservation, remote sensing, and human-machine interaction. They work on projects such as mapping forests in the Swiss Alps, detecting wildlife from drone imagery, and developing AI models for ocean plastic detection. ECEO collaborates with organizations like the European Space Agency and the Swiss National Science Foundation to innovate in environmental science and impact our planet positively.
