A Stepwise Domain Adaptive Segmentation Network With Covariate Shift Alleviation for Remote Sensing Imagery

Yunpeng Li, Yinlin Hu, Rui Song, Jingyu Li

Semantic segmentation for remote sensing images (RSI) is critical for the Earth monitoring system. However, the covariate shift between RSI datasets under different capture conditions cannot be alleviated by directly using the unsupervised domain adaptatio ...

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 ...

Learning to Represent and Reconstruct 3D Deformable Objects

Jan Bednarík

Representing and reconstructing 3D deformable shapes are two tightly linked problems that have long been studied within the computer vision field. Deformable shapes are truly ubiquitous in the real world, whether be it specific object classes such as human ...

A Downscaling Intercomparison Study: The Representation of Slope- and Ridge-Scale Processes in Models of Different Complexity

Varun Sharma, Franziska Gerber, Albertus Christiaan Kruyt, Dylan Stewart Reynolds

Spatially distributed meteorological information at the slope scale is relevant for many processes in complex terrain, yet information at this sub-km spatial resolution is difficult to obtain. While downscaling to kilometer resolutions is well described in ...

MultiMAE: Multi-modal Multi-task Masked Autoencoders

Amir Roshan Zamir, Roman Christian Bachmann, David Mizrahi, Andrei Atanov

We propose a pre-training strategy called Multi-modal Multi-task Masked Autoencoders (MultiMAE). It differs from standard Masked Autoencoding in two key aspects: I) it can optionally accept additional modalities of information in the input besides the RGB ...

Canopy dieback and recovery in Australian native forests following extreme drought

Alice Jacqueline Frédérique Gauthey

In 2019, south-eastern Australia experienced its driest and hottest year on record, resulting in massive canopy dieback events in eucalypt dominated forests. A subsequent period of high precipitation in 2020 provided a rare opportunity to quantify the impa ...

Multiscale Very High Resolution Topographic Models in Alpine Ecology: Pros and Cons of Airborne LiDAR and Drone-Based Stereo-Photogrammetry Technologies

Stéphane Joost, Aude Rogivue, Estelle Rochat, Kevin Leempoel, Annie Sandrine Guillaume

The vulnerability of alpine environments to climate change presses an urgent need to accurately model and understand these ecosystems. Popularity in the use of digital elevation models (DEMs) to derive proxy environmental variables has increased over the p ...

Liveability from Above: Understanding Quality of Life with Overhead Imagery and Deep Neural Networks

Devis Tuia, Alex Hubertus Levering

Urban planners are increasingly interested in understanding what makes a neighbourhood pleasant and liveable. In this paper, we use the overhead perspective as a new way to describe and understand liveability of city neighborhoods. We predict building qual ...

Diversité des lichens et enjeux de gestion dans les forêts de Montricher

Rita Bütler Sauvain

Two lichenological studies were conducted in the Montricher forests, one on lignicolous lichens of stumps in 2005 and the other on lichens of the different forest types in 2015. The synthesis of the two allows to establish a reference state of forest liche ...
