Earth Observation Big Data and Deep Learning for Sustainable and Resilient Cities
Summary
ESA together with the National Remote Sensing Centre of China (NRSCC), an entity under the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) of the P.R. China, have cooperated in the field of Earth observation application development for the last 27 years. Following the successful Dragon 1, 2, 3 and 4 programmes (2004 to 2020 ), a dedicated four year follow on cooperation called Dragon 5 has been initiated. This programme was formally kicked-off via videoconference in July 2020.
The main objective of the Dragon 5 programme is the establishment of joint Sino-European teams to investigate the use of optical, thermal, active and passive microwave instrument data for science and applications development using Earth Observation (EO) data from ESA, ESA Third Party Mission (TPM), Copernicus Sentinels and Chinese satellite missions.
