Detecting changes in land cover – BFASTmonitor and SEPAL
Channel: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Date: 2020-10-14

Video presented at the European Space Agency’s Earth Observation Phi week (28/09 – 2/10 2020), an annual event which focuses on innovation in earth observation research and practice. Presented by researchers from the University of Wageningen, the University of Münster and FAO, this presentation is on the use of the R package BFASTmonitor with GPUs in FAO’s SEPAL open cloud-computing platform. Combining these computing tools is enabling analyses to be conducted much faster – here 5000 times faster – than previously possible. One particular use case for this is for the rapid detection of deforestation in the context of climate action.
