AGU Conference 2024

A Tool to Support and Monitor Humanitarian Crisis, Tailored for War Damage: Map for Damage Assessment with Satellite Artificial Intelligence (MASAI)

 

 

TerrAria is currently attending the American Geophysical Union (AGU) 2024 conference themed “What’s Next for Science”, which is taking place in Washington D.C. between 9 and 13 December 2024, presenting the MASAI – Map for Damage Assessment with Satellite Artificial Intelligence. The tool, developed within the homonymous project, funded by the European Space Agency (ESA), is presented in the session “Tracking the Footprint of War: Earth and Environmental Perspectives on Monitoring Conflict Impacts”. Our contribution titled “A Tool to Support and Monitor Humanitarian Crisis, Tailored for War Damage: Map for Damage Assessment with Satellite Artificial Intelligence (MASAI)”, accepted as a poster, is now available and will remain accessible until February 2025. The poster is supported by a demonstration video that illustrates the functionality of the platform and is accompanied by a narrative voice that gives an overview of the tool.

Our poster focuses on MASAI, a web platform created to support regional, national and international organisations intervening in humanitarian crises, such as the Italian Red Cross Association, the project’s end-user, in timely and efficient relief operations by exploiting Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques and satellite image processing.
