  • Sergii Skakun Part of The IARPA Space-Based “SMART” Program
text

S. Skakun (Assistant Professor with the Department of Geographical Sciences and iSchool) is part of the consortium led by Kitware Inc. that was awarded a contract within the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) Space-based Machine Automated Recognition Technique (SMART) program. The SMART program aims at automating the quantitative analysis of space-based imagery to perform broad-area search for natural and anthropogenic events and characterize their extent and progression in time and space.

The project titled “WATCH: Wide Area Terrestrial Change Hypercube” will develop a system that will monitor wide areas for terrestrial change using multiple satellite data, including those acquired by NASA/USGS Landsat and ESA Sentinel-2 missions.

S. Skakun leads a team of two PhD students (Y. Zhang, A. Qadir) and a faculty specialist (M. Adegbenro) that will contribute with co-registration of satellite imagery and cloud detection.
