Evaluating Matrix Factorization Techniques for Thematic Mapping of Wilderness Walkability Using Multiple GPX Datasets [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
Quantitative thematic mapping of walkability in wilderness areas is challenging due to sparse and unreliable data. Unlike urban walkability, which depends on built infrastructure, wilderness walkability is influenced by natural terrain features such as ...

Explaining Multimodal Data Fusion: Occlusion Analysis for Wilderness Mapping

open access: yesIGARSS 2023 - 2023 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2023
Jointly harnessing complementary features of multi-modal input data in a common latent space has been found to be beneficial long ago. However, the influence of each modality on the models decision remains a puzzle. This study proposes a deep learning framework for the modality-level interpretation of multimodal earth observation data in an end-to-end ...

Calculation of land surface temperature and thermal island extraction using Landsat 8 satellite imagery and separate window algorithm in Urmia [PDF]

open access: yesنشریه جغرافیا و برنامه‌ریزی, 2020
Introduction One of the emerging environmental hazards caused by the expansion of urbanization is the "thermal island" phenomenon, in which urban areas have a distinct climate compared to rural areas, and the city center has higher temperatures than its ...

A Framework of Filtering Rules over Ground Truth Samples to Achieve Higher Accuracy in Land Cover Maps

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Remote Sensing (RS) digital classification techniques require sufficient, accurate and ubiquitously distributed ground truth (GT) samples. GT is usually considered “true” per se; however, human errors, or differences in criteria when defining classes ...
