Abd-Elrahman Lab
Led by Amr Abd-Elrahman · Forest, Fisheries, and Geomatics Sciences
What we study
The Abd-Elrahman Lab uses satellite, drone, and lidar data with machine learning to study crops, forests, and water quality. They analyze images to map soil, vegetation, and diseases, using tools like deep learning networks.
