ABOUT EARTHDAILY

EarthDaily is revolutionizing the way we understand and monitor our planet. Through cutting-edge Earth Observation (EO) technology and geospatial analytics, we provide unparalleled insights for industries ranging from agriculture to mining, insurance, and government intelligence. Our mission is to build the world's most advanced change detection system to capture, analyze, and interpret global shifts in near real-time.
THE ROLE

EarthDaily is looking for a PostDoc in remote sensing to join its Data Science team and develop innovative methods for processing multi-scale observations.

You will be involved in the development of methods in the framework of the PHENET European project WP3 ).

You will develop a multi-scale image harmonization framework for the analysis of automatically co-registered multi-resolution datasets (Sentinel-2, UAV, EarthDaily, on-field sensors).

The spectral and radiometric adjustment algorithms should be optimized to scale up surface reflectance from different sensors using physical and/or AI methods. These data fusion algorithms will be provided to enable the synergistic exploitation of IoT and EA time series based on Bayesian multi-sensors fusion and interpolation methods.

In PHENET, the European Research Infrastructures (RI) on plant phenotyping (EMPHASIS), ecosystems experimentation (AnaEE), long-term observation (eLTER) and data management and bioinformatics (ELIXIR) join their forces to co-develop new tools and methods for the identification of future-proofed combinations of species, genotypes and management practices in front of the most likely climatic scenarios across Europe.

YOUR MISSIONS

• Conduct a state-of-the-art review of data fusion methods applied to satellite/UAV/IoT data
• Develop and test fusion methodologies considering pro and cons of each type of observations (spatial and temporal resolution, geolocation precision, spectral information, radiometric quality…)
• Leverage cloud infrastructure and data access
• Conduct an objective comparative study between identified approaches
• Analyze performance and present results
• Collaborate with our Phenet academic partners (UCL, INRAe)
• Interact daily with an international, multidisciplinary team

EDUCATION, KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS
