Fast Digital Orthophoto Generation: A Comparative Study of Explicit and Implicit Methods

open access: yesRemote Sensing
A digital orthophoto is an image with geometric accuracy and no distortion. It is acquired through a top view of the scene and finds widespread applications in map creation, planning, and related fields.

Marine litter can shift sea turtle nests toward the shoreline

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Marine litter is an emerging threat to sea turtle rookeries, yet its effects on nesting behaviour remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated how macro‐litter accumulation on beaches influences the spatial distribution of loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta nests on Boa Vista Island, Cabo Verde.

Copernicus's Heliograph at Olsztyn -- the 500th Anniversary of a Scientific Milestone

open access: yes, 2017
Exactly 500 years ago, Nicolaus Copernicus drew a lattice of lines on a panel above the doorway to his rooms at Olsztyn Castle, then in the Bishopric of Warmia.

Varied motivations for secondary forest reclearing among landholders make forest persistence challenging

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Remote sensing studies show that ephemeral forest regeneration is widespread in the tropics, limiting the climate and biodiversity benefits from net increases in forest cover. Socioeconomic, biophysical and landscape variables can help explain the spatial distribution of reforestation reversals.

Extracting building heights from lidar data for the purpose of creating true orthphoto [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Classical orthophoto has some disadvantages, which are eliminated in the process of generating true orthophoto. True orthophoto is generated from aerial photographs and digital surface model (DSM) in a process of enhanced orthorectification.

Positional Precision Analysis of Orthomosaics Derived from Drone Captured Aerial Imagery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The advancement of drones has revolutionized the production of aerial imagery. Using a drone with its associated flight control and image processing applications, a high resolution orthorectified mosaic from multiple individual aerial images can be ...

Meander‐Bend Erosion Dynamics Along a Gravel‐Bed River: Insights From Short‐Term UAV Monitoring

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riverbank erosion is a natural process in meandering rivers that contributes to sediment supply and geomorphic diversity, yet it can threaten infrastructure and human activities within the floodplain. Recently, many studies have used high‐resolution remote sensing technologies to measure bank erosion, but they often focus on technical aspects ...

Integration of Photogrammetry and Geographic Information System (GIS) in Digital Mapping Production [PDF]

open access: yesEngineering and Technology Journal, 2010
This research introduce the utilization of Geographic InformationSystem (GIS) and photogrammetry in digital map production. An aerialstereopair was used to produce an orthophoto by ERDAS LPS software.The Arc GIS software then used to prepare a digital ...

Improving forest age estimation to understand subtropical forest regrowth dynamics using deep learning image segmentation of time‐series historical aerial photographs

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Accurately estimating forest age is key to understanding how forests recover and evaluating restoration success. We developed a two‐step deep learning approach using historical greyscale aerial photographs to map forest age at fine spatial scales. By combining a pre‐trained model with localized fine‐tuning, our U‐Net + ResNet50 architecture achieved ...
