AI for Science 2025

Ljubljana, 26. 9. 2025

Members of the GeoAI project team attended the international conference AI for Science 2025 between 22 and 26 September 2025, held at the Faculty of Computer and Information Science, University of Ljubljana (UL FRI). At the conference, we presented part of the research carried out within the GeoAI project and learned about current research in the fields of artificial intelligence and Earth observation.

On Friday, 26 September, the conference featured the AI & Space session, which was closely related to the research areas of the GeoAI project, particularly the use of artificial intelligence in satellite data processing and Earth observation. Prof. Dr. Krištof Oštir from UL FGG played an important role in shaping the session’s programme as one of its programme chairs. As part of this session, Matija Gerčer presented a paper titled Near Real-Time Flood Mapping from Sentinel Data Using Machine Learning Techniques, prepared together with Bujar Fetai, Tanja Grabrijan, and Krištof Oštir.

In the paper, the authors presented the use of machine learning methods for near real-time flood mapping based on Sentinel satellite data. The presented approach enables faster acquisition of information on flood extent and demonstrates the potential of artificial intelligence in remote sensing data processing.
