UAV and Machine Learning Based Refinement of a Satellite-Driven Vegetation Index for Precision Agriculture.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Precision agriculture is considered to be a fundamental approach in pursuing a low-input, high-efficiency, and sustainable kind of agriculture when performing site-specific management practices. To achieve this objective, a reliable and updated descr...

Deep Learning to Unveil Correlations between Urban Landscape and Population Health.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The global healthcare landscape is continuously changing throughout the world as technology advances, leading to a gradual change in lifestyle. Several diseases such as asthma and cardiovascular conditions are becoming more diffuse, due to a rise in ...

Convcast: An embedded convolutional LSTM based architecture for precipitation nowcasting using satellite data.

PloS one
Nowcasting of precipitation is a difficult spatiotemporal task because of the non-uniform characterization of meteorological structures over time. Recently, convolutional LSTM has been shown to be successful in solving various complex spatiotemporal ...

Convolutional Neural Networks enable efficient, accurate and fine-grained segmentation of plant species and communities from high-resolution UAV imagery.

Scientific reports
Recent technological advances in remote sensing sensors and platforms, such as high-resolution satellite imagers or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), facilitate the availability of fine-grained earth observation data. Such data reveal vegetation canopi...

Spatiotemporal dynamics of urbanization and cropland in the Nile Delta of Egypt using machine learning and satellite big data: implications for sustainable development.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
The Nile Delta of Egypt is increasingly facing sustainability threats, due to a combination of nature- and human-induced changes in land cover and land use. In this paper, an analysis of big time series data from remotely sensed satellite images and ...

Using satellite-measured relative humidity for prediction of Metisa plana's population in oil palm plantations: A comparative assessment of regression and artificial neural network models.

PloS one
Metisa plana (Walker) is a leaf defoliating pest that is able to cause staggering economical losses to oil palm cultivation. Considering the economic devastation that the pest could bring, an early warning system to predict its outbreak is crucial. T...

Aerial-trained deep learning networks for surveying cetaceans from satellite imagery.

PloS one
Most cetacean species are wide-ranging and highly mobile, creating significant challenges for researchers by limiting the scope of data that can be collected and leaving large areas un-surveyed. Aerial surveys have proven an effective way to locate a...

Downscaling satellite soil moisture using geomorphometry and machine learning.

PloS one
Annual soil moisture estimates are useful to characterize trends in the climate system, in the capacity of soils to retain water and for predicting land and atmosphere interactions. The main source of soil moisture spatial information across large ar...

Alcohol outlets and firearm violence: a place-based case-control study using satellite imagery and machine learning.

Injury prevention : journal of the International Society for Child and Adolescent Injury Prevention
INTRODUCTION: This article proposes a novel method for matching places based on visual similarity, using high-resolution satellite imagery and machine learning. This approach strengthens comparisons when the built environment is a potential confounde...

Measuring social, environmental and health inequalities using deep learning and street imagery.

Scientific reports
Cities are home to an increasing majority of the world's population. Currently, it is difficult to track social, economic, environmental and health outcomes in cities with high spatial and temporal resolution, needed to evaluate policies regarding ur...
