project title

Intelligent observers in environmental protection (iEnv)

Description of research in a 1-year term

The group’s research activities include fundamental and applied research in several areas related to the application of intelligent systems and intelligent technologies, primarily for the protection of the natural environment. This integration of technology and the environment creates an (artificial) ‘environmental intelligence’ as a special case of next-generation communication environments, where applications and services are focused on the ‘user’ — and the user is the environment itself. In this way, a higher level of environmental protection and self-protection is achieved. The specific research questions addressed by the group include:

  1. early detection of natural disaster scenarios (such as wildfires, floods, and environmental pollution)
  2. prediction of conditions for the occurrence of natural hazards based on remote sensing and data fusion
  3. modeling the behavior of phenomena such as forest fires and the spread of pollution
  4. investigating the interpretability of data, models, and prediction systems using modern artificial intelligence tools
