Hi all
The Bruno Kessler Foundation of Trento, together with the University of
Trento, offers a scholarship for a PhD student on the topic
"Fusion of remote sensing and citizen science information for geospatial
products"
Deadline:
August 30, 2018, hrs. 04.00 PM (Italian time, GMT +2)
More information:

Fusion of remote sensing and citizen science information for geospatial
products
An actual scientific challenge is the design of a framework to create a
strong connection between humans and machines in order to improve higher
quality of geospatial products. In recent years a fast increment of
activities has been observed on both: 1) citizen science and its expansion
by the reuse of crowdsourcing data from other projects (e.g.
OpenStreetMap). This happened in many scenarios including Earth
Observation; and 2) information extraction from remotely sensed data
acquired by satellite-and airborne-based platforms. Remote sensing state of
the art is wide from both methodological and application viewpoints. Both
research fields are
acquiring more and more relevance in our society.
In this context the Ph.D. candidate will work on the design of novel
methods for the fusion of remote sensing technology and citizen science
for: i) novel products and services that may gain from the joint
exploitation of the two complementary data sources; and ii) cross-validate
remote sensing products by citizen science data or viceversa.
Candidates are preferred having a background in geoinformation analysis,
image processing, computer science, physics and simila.
