An Operational System for Estimating Road Traffic Information from Aerial Images

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2014
Given that ground stationary infrastructures for traffic monitoring are barely able to handle everyday traffic volumes, there is a risk that they could fail altogether in situations arising from mass events or disasters.

Georeferenced soil provenancing with digital signatures [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
AbstractThe provenance or origin of a soil sample is of interest in soil forensics, archaeology, and biosecurity. In all of these fields, highly specialized and often expensive analysis is usually combined with expert interpretation to estimate sample origin.

Modeling Changes in Flow Dynamics From the Restoration of a Distributary Slough Along a Large Floodplain River

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sloughs are slow‐moving or still water systems that serve as an important ecosystem component connecting rivers and floodplains such as the Apalachicola River in northwest Florida. However, sloughs of the Apalachicola River have become hydrologically disconnected from the mainstem due to the impact of failed navigation projects such as channel

Self-portrait of a city. City and Architecture in Bologna in the maps between the 18th and 19th centuries

open access: yesDisegnare con, 2012
The plan, being project tool and representation at the same time, allows an understanding, by means of ancient cartography, of the ancient city as an entity with its own identity connotation, whose definition derives mainly from the clarity of the ...

Geocoding health data with Geographic Information Systems: a pilot study in northeast Italy for developing a standardized data-acquiring format [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Introduction. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become an innovative and somewhat crucial tool for analyzing relationships between public health data and environment. This study, though focusing on a Local Health Unit of northeastern Italy, could

Alpine greening deciphered by forest stand and structure dynamics in advancing treelines of the southwestern European Alps

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Multidecadal satellite observations, like those from Landsat, enable the study of vegetation greenness trends at extensive spatial and temporal scales. Alpine ecosystems show significant increases in vegetation greenness, but the ecological processes driving this greening are less understood.

Investigating Full-Waveform Lidar Data for Detection and Recognition of Vertical Objects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A recent innovation in commercially-available topographic lidar systems is the ability to record return waveforms at high sampling frequencies. These “full-waveform” systems provide up to two orders of magnitude more data than “discrete-return” systems ...

Toponym-assisted map georeferencing: Evaluating the use of toponyms for the digitization of map collections

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
A great deal of information is contained within archival maps—ranging from historic political boundaries, to mineral resources, to the locations of cultural landmarks.

Advancing the mapping of vegetation structure in savannas using Sentinel‐1 imagery

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
As vegetation structure monitoring is important for the understanding and conservation of savanna ecosystems, we explored the utility of C‐band synthetic aperture radar imagery for mapping both grassland and woody vegetation structure in the Greater Serengeti‐Mara Ecosystem.

EVALUATION OF SAR DATA AS SOURCE OF GROUND CONTROL INFORMATION: FIRST RESULTS [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2013
The high resolution imaging modes of modern SAR sensors has made SAR data compatible with optical images. SAR data offers various capabilities which can enhance the geometric correction process of optical images (accurate, direct and ground-independent
