The Build4People Work Package “Urban Green Infrastructures” member Mohiuddin Gulam has recently participated in the ESA Living Planet Symposium 2025 in Vienna. This is considered the largest Earth observation symposium, which previously took place in Bonn in 2022. This year, it included 6000+ presentations on Earth observations.
On this occasion, Mohi presented a poster from his ongoing doctoral study related to the Build4People Project. Co-authors of the poster are Prof. Dr. Jan-Peter Mund from Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development, leader of the Build4People Work Package “Urban Green Infrastructures”, and Prof. Dr. Matthias Möller from Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg.
The research presented is about a systematic method currently being developed, TempEdge, to detect and filter out artefacts from Landsat Analysis-ready Surface Temperature Data. As part of this work, algorithm has been successfully created and tested in the case of Phnom Penh. Furthermore cross-site validations were conducted in four other tropical cities around the world. The results showed that the proposed method, TempEdge, successfully produced plausible thresholds for respective cities, detecting and filtering out artefacts. The whole research will get soon published in an open-access journal.
