An Integrated Assessment

Your challenge is to integrate various Earth Observation-derived features with available socio-economic data in order to discover or enhance our understanding of COVID-19 impacts.

Into the Unknown

Summary

Integrate various EO-derived features with available and/or derived socio-economic data in various ways in order to discover or enhance our understanding of COVID-19 impacts.

How I Addressed This Challenge

Goal: Integrate various EO-derived features with available and/or derived socio-economic data in various ways in order to discover or enhance our understanding of COVID-19 impacts.

Considerations: How can the integrated analysis of socio-economic data and EO-based data lead to enhanced insights into the impacts of COVID-19?

  • How can the integrated analysis of socio-economic data and EO-based data lead to enhanced insights into the impacts of COVID-19?
  • Which impact dynamics can possibly be discovered on a local or regional basis?
  • Consider multi-temporal features, such as max/min/median Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) reflectance for different time windows, specific absorption rate (SAR) backscatter statistics, or changes in brightness or temperature.
