EO-based hybrid artificial intelligence methods for monitoring habitat distribution and diversity

EOai4BIO will investigate the application of hybrid, knowledge-based and self-learning, thus optimally transferable and versatile applicable methods in the field of EO mapping of the distribution of habitats, according to the European-wide, uniform standards of the FFH-habitats directive (Annex I). The project`s objective is to develop transferable approaches based on hybrid artificial intelligence (AI) with the aim to achieve an AI-supported, automated mapping of the distribution of classified habitats with a sufficient degree of certainty. In the long term, the planned project may contribute to establishing the basis for a knowledge-based, scientifically accompanied and profound biodiversity policy in Austria, by improving the knowledge base for habitat distribution.
