Invited Lecture: Deep learning applications to remote sensing and medicine / Biomimetics of nests – Sustainable construction material
Firstly, professor António Cunha will present some ongoing works on the group.
1) SAR Interferometry techniques are used for detecting and monitoring ground deformation all over the planet, such as earthquakes.
We present deep learning vision transformer models to automatically detect seismic deformation in SAR interferograms.
2) The grapevine variety plays an important role in wine chain production, thus identifying it is crucial for control activities. However, the specialists responsible for identifying the different varieties are disappearing. We present a study allowing the assessment of removing background regions from the grapevine images in the improvement grapevine variety classification using DL models.
3) Glaucoma is a silent disease that leads to vision loss or irreversible blindness. Current deep learning methods can help glaucoma screening by extending it to larger populations using retinal images. Low-cost lenses attached to mobile devices can increase the frequency of screening and alert patients earlier for a more thorough evaluation. We explored and compared the performance of classification and segmentation methods for glaucoma screening with retinal images acquired by both retinography and mobile devices
Biomimetics of nests – Sustainable construction material
Sandra Pereira will present the work on biomimetics of nests.
Asian wasp nest may be an interesting construction in terms of building materials, architecture, structure and building process. Learning about this natural construction can give guidance to real constructions, about the solutions and materials, its thermal, acoustic and ventilation behaviour.
