Demand driven data services for humanitarian aid

Kurzfassung

The project Data4Human of the Center for Satellite Based Crisis Information presented its current work for humanitarian aid. The main aspects are: Artificial intelligence for Humanitarian aid, Fusion of remote sensing data and web-based data sources, Automatisation of crisis information exchange and Remote sensing-based documentation of human rights abuse. All aspects tested artificial intelligence methods to achieve the goal. The most relevant cases were the detection of flooded areas in Mozambique after the cyclon Idai based of satellite images, open source data, social media data, and web data. Building damage detection in Moria camp, Greece after a fire, building damage detection in Beirut, Lebanon after a chemical explosion, and building identification in Kutupalong camp, Bangladesh.
