Using machine learning to generate an open-access cropland map from satellite images time series in the Indian Himalayan region

Danya Li

Crop maps are crucial for agricultural monitoring and food management and can additionally support domain-specific applications, such as setting cold supply chain infrastructure in developing countries. Machine learning (ML) models, combined with freely-av ...

Technology Mapping Using Multi-output Library Cells

Giovanni De Micheli, Alessandro Tempia Calvino

Technology mapping transforms a technology-independent representation into a technology-dependent one given a library of cells. Even if technology libraries contain multi-output cells, state-of-the-art techniques fully exploit single-output cells only. Mul ...

Fine-grained population mapping from coarse census counts and open geodata

Devis Tuia, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger

Fine-grained population maps are needed in several domains, like urban planning, environmental monitoring, public health, and humanitarian operations. Unfortunately, in many countries only aggregate census counts over large spatial units are collected, mor ...

Downscaling of Historical Wind Fields over Switzerland Using Generative Adversarial Networks

Anthony Christopher Davison, Ophélia Mireille Anna Miralles

Near-surface wind is difficult to estimate using global numerical weather and climate models, because airflow is strongly modified by underlying topography, especially that of a country such as Switzerland. In this article, we use a statistical approach ba ...

Global maps of travel time to healthcare facilities

Kristina Gligoric

Access to healthcare is a requirement for human well-being that is constrained, in part, by the allocation of healthcare resources relative to the geographically dispersed human population(1-3). Quantifying access to care globally is challenging due to the ...

Dimensionless correlations and performance maps of scroll expanders for micro-scale Organic Rankine Cycles

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Luis Carlos Mendoza Toledo, Violette Mounier, Luis Eric Olmedo Ocampo

In the endeavor towards distributed power systems, not seasonal-dependent micro-power generation technologies are expected to integrate the energy scenario in the years to come. In this context, the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) in the (1e10) KWe scale has c ...

The effects of visual realism, spatial abilities, and competition on performance in map-based route learning in men

John Christian Thoresen, Rebecca Francelet

We report on how visual realism might influence map-based route learning performance in a controlled laboratory experiment with 104 male participants in a competitive context. Using animations of a dot moving through routes of interest, we find that partic ...

Learning Aerial Image Segmentation from Online Maps

Martin Jaggi, Aurélien Lucchi

This study deals with semantic segmentation of high-resolution (aerial) images where a semantic class label is assigned to each pixel via supervised classification as a basis for automatic map generation. Recently, deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) ...

Anatomical and functional properties of the foot and leg representation in areas 3b, 1 and 2 of primary somatosensory cortex in humans: A 7T fMRI study

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Roger Gassert, Roberto Martuzzi, Michel Akselrod

Primary somatosensory cortex (S1) processes somatosensory information and is composed of multiple subregions. In particular, tactile information from the skin is encoded in three subregions, namely Brodmann areas (BAs) 3b, 1 and 2, with each area represent ...

Pose Estimation of Web-Shared Landscape Pictures

Devis Tuia, Vincent Lepetit, François Golay, Timothée Produit

We propose a robust method for registering high oblique images of landscapes. Typically, an input image can be registered by matching it against a set of registered images of the same location. While this has been shown to work very well for images of popu ...

High Frequency Instrument data processing

Xin Chen, Julien Lesgourgues

We describe the processing of the 531 billion raw data samples from the High Frequency Instrument (HFI), which we performed to produce six temperature maps from the first 473 days of Planck-HFI survey data. These maps provide an accurate rendition of the s ...

Algorithm for Flow Direction Enforcement Using Subgrid-Scale Stream Location Data

Producing realistic surface water flow patterns can be difficult for hydrologic models when there is insufficient grid resolution as a result of computational constraints or when available digital elevation model (DEM) data are relatively coarse. This tech ...

SeMiTri: A Framework for Semantic Annotation of Heterogeneous Trajectories

Karl Aberer, Stefano Spaccapietra, Christine Parent, Zhixian Yan, Dipanjan Chakraborty

GPS devices allow recording the movement track of the moving object they are attached to. This data typically consists of a stream of spatio-temporal (x,y,t) points. For application purposes the stream is transformed into finite subsequences called {\em tr ...

Automatic Construction and Multi-level Visualization of Semantic Trajectories

Karl Aberer, Stefano Spaccapietra, Christine Parent, Zhixian Yan, Dipanjan Chakraborty

With the prevalence of GPS-embedded mobile devices, enormous amounts of mobility data are being collected in the form of trajectory - a stream of (x,y,t) points. Such trajectories are of heterogeneous entities - vehicles, people, animals, parcels etc. Most ...

Parametric B-Spline Snakes on Distance Maps—Application to Segmentation of Histology Images

Michaël Unser, Philippe Thévenaz, François Aguet, Chandra Sekhar Seelamantula

We construct parametric active contours (snakes) for outlining cells in histology images. These snakes are defined in terms of cubic B-spline basis functions. We use a steerable ridge detector for obtaining a reliable map of the cell boundaries. Using the ...

Annotations of maps in collaborative work at a distance

Mauro Cherubini

This thesis inquires how map annotations can be used to sustain remote collaboration. Maps condense the interplay of space and communication, solving linguistic references by linking conversational content to the actual places to which it refers. This is a ...

Handling the Inconsistency of Relative Map Filter

Roland Siegwart

In \cite{martinelli_2004_open_challenges_in}, a version of Relative Map Filter (\RMF) is proposed to solve the simultaneous localization and map building (SLAM) problem. In the \RMF, the map states contain only quantities invariant under shift and rotat ...
