Main Purpose
The intern will
work on a project to apply modern remote sensing and imagery science techniques
to satellite imagery and geospatial information in order to provide value-added
tools for imagery analysts in support of the mission of the Division of
Information Management (SGIM). In particular, the intern will investigate
applications of open source imagery such as Sentinel, and open-source
geospatial information, such as OpenStreetMap, for the creation of analytical
tools to assist imagery analysts, such as landcover classification, building
and road detection or segmentation, multispectral information extraction,
visualization, and change detection.
Functions / Key
Results Expected
The intern will
work within the State Infrastructure Analysis Section of SGIM in support of
enhancing analytical capabilities for satellite imagery and geospatial data.
This internship will provide a high level of professional development for the
intern and will include the following tasks:
Build rapid
prototypes and Proof of Concepts (PoC) to determine fit and usability. Interact
with business users to define the scope and analytics business case; Develop
and apply technologies such as machine-learning and deep-learning algorithms to
enable imagery and geospatial analytics product functionality. Identify
suitable open-source imagery and geospatial data sources and implement related
data collection, cleaning, pre-processing, and labelling processes.
Qualifications and
Experience
University degree
in mathematics, statistics, remote sensing, geosciences, or data science
related fields. Demonstrated skills in Python programming for satellite
imagery, image processing, and geospatial data processing and analytics.
Demonstrated knowledge of remote sensing algorithm development tools such as
Python remote sensing and image processing packages, QGIS, GDAL, and ENVI
through written scripts for analysis and reporting. Experience in
machine-learning methodologies for images and satellite imagery (e.g.
supervised and unsupervised learning, deep learning etc.). Excellent written
and spoken command of English.
