Soil moisture dynamics in heterogeneous tropical landscapes using active–passive Earth observations and machine learning

Soil Advances
Accurate monitoring of soil moisture (SM) at high spatial resolution remains challenging in tropical landscapes, where interactions among soil, vegetation, and terrain drive complex hydrological dynamics. We developed a Relative Soil Moisture Index (RSMI)

Feature discovery and visualization of robot mission data using convolutional autoencoders and Bayesian nonparametric topic models

, 2017
The gap between our ability to collect interesting data and our ability to analyze these data is growing at an unprecedented rate. Recent algorithmic attempts to fill this gap have employed unsupervised tools to discover structure in data.

Evaluation and comparison of satellite precipitation estimates with reference to a local area in the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

, 2014
Precipitation is one of the major variables for many applications and disciplines related to water resources and the geophysical Earth system. Satellite retrieval systems, rain-gauge networks, and radar systems are complementary to each other in terms of

Automated Feature Extraction and Classification of Submerged Cultural Heritage Assets in the Puck Lagoon via Multisensor Remote Sensing

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a strong framework for the detection and classification of Submerged Cultural Heritage Assets (SCHA) in shallow marine environments using the integration of multibeam echosounder and airborne LiDAR bathymetry with object‐based image analysis and fuzzy logic–based classification.

Prospecting of Architectural Features Using LiDAR‐UAV Technology, Deep Neural Networks and Visualization Techniques: A Case Study in Kuélap and Cambolín (NW Peru)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High‐resolution and accurate synoptic images of terrestrial topography, even in densely forested areas, have proven valuable for archaeology by enabling the identification and characterization of relief patterns associated with ancient human activities. This study presents a novel approach that integrates digital terrain models (DTMs) obtained
