Increasing urban tree cover is an often proposed mitigation strategy against urban heat as trees are expected to cool cities through evapotranspiration and shade provision. However, trees also modify wind flow and urban aerodynamic roughness, which can potentially limit heat dissipation. Existing studies show a varying cooling potential of urban trees in different climates and times of the day. These differences are so far not systematically explained as partitioning the individual tree effec…

Automated water body detection from satellite imagery is a fundamental stage for urban hydrological studies. In recent years, various deep convolutional neural network (DCNN)-based methods have been proposed to segment remote sensing data collected by conventional RGB or multispectral imagery for such studies. However, how to effectively explore the wider spectrum bands of multispectral sensors to achieve significantly better performance compared to the use of only RGB bands has been left und…

Authors: Haojie Cai, Tao Chen, Ruiqing Niu, Antonio Plaza
Journal: IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing · DOI: 10.1109/jstars.2021.3079196 · Citations: 98
Matched topics: hydrologic model
A complete and accurate landslide map is necessary for landslide susceptibility and risk assessment. Currently, deep learning faces the dilemma of insufficient application, scarce samples, and poor efficiency in landslide recognition. This article utilizes the advantages of dense convolutional networks (DenseNets) and their modified technique to solve the three proposed problems. For this purpose, we created a new landslide sample library. On the original remote sensing image, 12 geological, …

Matched topics: water management
ABSTRACT Water is a critical issue for governments and community in an Australian context, and internationally. First Peoples of Australia, its Indigenous peoples, have over 65,000 years of connection and understanding of water, held by more than 250 distinct Indigenous Nations that occur from the wet tropics, through desert country and south to the temperate zone, river lands and alpine regions. The value of water is central to Indigenous peoples’ being and culture, but since European coloni…
