Computational Heat Island Localization + Limitation

Urban Heat Islands

What are they?

• Metropolitan areas warmer than the surrounding environment
• Caused by natural land being replaced with artificial heat-retaining materials
• Drastically increases health risks from high temperatures and air pollution

CHILL AI

What do we do about them?

• Using satellite thermal imagery and available weather data
• Generate maps to track and identify urban heat islands
• Governments and urban planners can create cooler, healthier, and sustainable environments

Technologies used:

• Computer Vision techniques for analysis
• Data Retrieval from satellites and mobile data
• Machine Learning models for tracking and identification
