Algorithm Intercomparison
Algorithm evaluation and comparison in APEx
Evaluate and compare algorithms using the Algorithm Intercomparison service within APEx. This service provides dedicated workspaces and seamless integration with Earth observation data. Collaborate on the development of intercomparison methods, execute algorithms, and generate detailed reports.
It is suitable for assessing new methods, understanding algorithm strengths, and ensuring consistency across platforms.
Key benefits
The Algorithm Intercomparison service offers a robust platform for evaluating and comparing algorithms across various Earth observation use cases.
Thorough evaluation
Compare new algorithms with existing ones or assess multiple algorithms to identify the best performer and understand their strengths and weaknesses.
Collaborative efficiency
Collaborate with team members and external participants to develop, execute, and review intercomparison protocols.
Data integrity
Ensure the consistency of EO input and reference data throughout the exercise with reliable storage and management.
Transparent results
Detailed metrics and visualisations enable full traceability of workflow versions and intercomparison methods, supporting rigorous peer-reviewed publications.
Included features
With advanced visualisation and reporting capabilities, this service ensures that intercomparisons are comprehensive, accurate, and ready for publication.
Customisable workspaces
Dedicated environments for setting up and managing intercomparison exercises, equipped with tools for data handling and algorithm execution.
Collaborative protocol development
Integrated workflows for developing and refining intercomparison protocols, supporting iterative revisions and detailed documentation.
Seamless algorithm execution
