Overview


  • Challenge - mapping geological materials that can have overlapping spectral signals and landscape positions. Extraction of irregular landform shapes and sizes that have inconsistent composition, moisture regime, and vegetation.
  • Tools - Machine Learning in Python using scikit-learn, TensorFlow or PyTorch algorithms (classification, regression, clustering, Convolutional Neural Network and more) and Geostatistic (spatial covariance, interpolation, simulation, scaling and uncertainty characterization).
  • The goal is to build an understanding of the challenge of replacing abstract cognitive analysis with ML analysis.
