During my studies at the University of Texas at Austin, I worked on image processing and machine learning methods to analyze satellite imagery, as a part of my doctoral research. One day, tuning some parameters in my code outside their expected range resulted in this one of a kind piece of art.
The research behind this artwork led to highly cited publications including:
RivaMap: An Automated River Analysis and Mapping Engine (2017);
Surface Water Mapping by Deep Learning (2017) (32nd most cited paper in IEEE JSTARS according to Google Scholar Metrics);
Learning a River Network Extractor Using an Adaptive Loss Function (2018);
Seeing Through the Clouds With DeepWaterMap (2019).
