SAIRSAS - Keynote 6 - Dr. Georgios Ouzonis - Atlas of Human Settlements (en)

Keynote speaker: Dr. Georgios Ouzonis Keynote title: Atlas of Human Settlements: a use case in monitoring infrastructure Abstract: The Atlas of Human Settlements is a built-up base map of global coverage, delivered at 10m spatial resolution and updated annually, with legacy layers since 2016. It consists of a number of semantic layers imprinting key attributes describing settlement extent and fabric. Using state-of-the-art AI and open-access data we transform these features into actionable socioeconomic indicators such as the asset wealth index and the spending power index, or use them in advanced data science workflows that present us with insights into the living conditions, health, demographics, transportation patterns, economic activity, development trends and more. These are key indicators allowing us to sketch the greater picture and get a more holistic view of any habituated environment across the world. AHS powers many different applications and finds extensive use in monitoring supply chains. Extending this to the agricultural sector, it can be seen as an instrument reporting the presence and sufficiency of storage facilities and processing plants, while forecasting infrastructure demand for the immediate future. Paired with recommender systems it helps identify optimal locations for new investment with an interest in improving the farmer to seller process while minimizing transportation time and cost, and associated carbon emissions. This talk will focus on the core AHS layers and services, demonstrate uses in monitoring supply chain infrastructure and further discuss extensions to the agricultural sector. SAIRSAS The International Autumn School on AI and Robotics for Sustainable Agricultural Systems (SAIRSAS 2023) aims to provide the right environment to discuss developments in agriculture through the use of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics. This first international meeting organized by the Robotics Group aims to bring together professionals, researchers and students interested in applying artificial intelligence-based solutions in precision livestock farming. In this way, multidisciplinary collaborations and synergies between such diverse fields can be achieved, making it possible to reach innovative and relevant solutions for society. We want to express our special gratitude to the sponsors of the event: thanks to the University of León for their financial support for the organization of this autumn school; thanks also to the Robotics research group and to the research project with grant Grant TED2021-132356B-I00 funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and by the “European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR”. Finally, we would like to thank the Granja Experimental of the University of León, Facultad de Veterinaria, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Agrovet Laboratorios Analíticos, Precision Drone (Drone Engineering Solutions) and MENDEA Ingeniería Ambiental for their support.
