Do Anh Huy defended his Master’s thesis

Do Anh Huy defended his Master’s thesis on September 18, dealing with the “Application of remote sensing for land use and wetlands mapping in Laos”, performed within the DinBuam ANR project and supervised by Alexandre Bouvet (CESBIO), Olivier Ribolzi (GET) and Pham Duc Binh (USTH), hosted at CESBIO and funded by the AST Zone Critique at OMP.

This internship focused on applying remote sensing techniques to classify land use and map wetlands in the mountainous area of the Houay Khan watershed in northern Lao PDR. Utilizing the Iota2 machine learning chain developed by CESBIO, Do Anh Huy performed a detailed classification of the study area using optical satellite time series data. The primary objective was to assess the effectiveness and accuracy of Iota2 in identifying various land cover types in areas of complex settings, with a specific emphasis on built-up, vegetation, water bodies, and of course wetlands. Congratulations Huy !
