Thesis title : Image time series analysis involving spatial and temporal information

New constellations of satellites acquire images with a high spatial, spectral and temporal resolution around the world leading to Satellite Image Time Series (SITS). During my thesis, our objective is to analyse the image time serie in order to extract features that enrich the orginal data and perform an application, such as a classification, by maximazing the accuracy

Image colorization

Photographic colorization is the process of adding color to black-and-white photos, using modern Machine Learning models based on neural networks. Applications include art, historical restoration, and personal projects. This project, part of the MLOps curriculum at Datascientest, offers an AI-powered photo colorization service.

Image colorization code available on github

AI Helpers

AI Helpers is a BSD-licensed Python library suite that simplifies AI development by automating tasks in machine learning, media processing, and secure file management, boosting productivity and enabling scalable solutions.

Temporal stability

Spatio-temporal hand-crafted features extraction that measure the stabilty. The proposed method is based on a compression algorithm named Run Length Encoding.

Temporal stability code available on github
