Julius Pesonen

I'm a research scientist in the Spectrophotogrammetry research group at Finnish Geospatial Research Institute.

I'm currently pursuing a doctoral degree at Aalto University under the supervision of Dr. Arno Solin and I'm advised by Research Professor Eija Honkavaara.

Research

I'm interested in computer vision, deep learning, remote sensing and robotics. In my doctoral works, I'm exploring weakly supervised and real-time deep learning methods in practical remote sensing applications with limited inference resources.
