Challenge: Use Lidar data of Puerto Rico (after hurricane Maria, 2017) and write an algorithm using AI to find and label on an image (more the better):

Damaged roads and buildings
Areas with high risk of landslide
Areas that are isolated (with no roads connection available in/out)
Areas in need of communication networks
Crops and relevant damage to agriculture
Other relevant features

Requirements

The final submission will be a report containing:

Approach: the methods you used to identify different items on the lidar data;
Results: the final images with the labeled features;
The Script: a Github link to the code you developed and instructions on how to run it;
Teamwork: the logistics you used to work together while remote;
Team Composition: the members of your team and their university affiliations.

We will explain the submission with more details during the welcoming session on July 31st.
