it_team4_FOREst 3 July 2025Mohiuddin Gulam presented his recent research with TempEdge a new method to detect and filter out artefacts from Landsat Analysis-ready Surface Temperature Data. Mohiuddin presented this innovative approach during the ESA Living Planet Symposium 2025 in Vienna. The research, part of his ongoing doctoral study related to the Build4People Project, was co-authored by Prof. Dr. Jan-Peter Mund from Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development and Prof. Dr. Matthias Möller from Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg.
He tested the algorithm in Phnom Penh, with cross-site validations carried out in four other tropical cities around the globe. The results indicate that TempEdge effectively establishes plausible thresholds for study areas, successfully identifying and filtering out artefacts. Cross-site validation indicates that TempEdge has the scalability across the tropical region. Future study can test the TempEdge on temperate regions and in other thermal sensors. A full research paper is expected to be published soon in an open-access journal.
The ESA Living Planet Symposium is renowned as the largest Earth observation symposium, with this year’s event showcasing over 6,000 presentations on Earth observations. Following its previous edition in Bonn in 2022, the Vienna symposium brought together experts and researchers from around the world to share insights and advancements in the field.
