The new method, leveraging the capabilities of AI and satellite data, marks a significant leap from the traditional methods reliant on meteorological stations and manual measurements. The system uses Sentinel-2 satellite imagery from the European Space Agency, providing optical and infrared images with an impressive resolution of up to 10 by 10 meters per pixel. This advancement allows for a detailed observation of snow cover and its variation over time. Konrad Schindler, Professor of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing at ETH Zurich, highlights the technology’s efficiency, stating, “Our maps allow the viewer to zoom in to 10 by 10 metres to … Continue reading Swiss Researchers Unveil AI-Satellite Technique for Advanced Snow Depth Monitoring
