1. Reliable Detection of Water Areas in Multispectral Drone Imagery : A faster region-based CNN model for accurately identifying the location of small-scale standing water bodies
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Dengue and Zika are two arboviral viruses that affect a significant portion of the world population. The principal vector species of both viruses are Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. They breed in very slow flowing or standing pools of water. READ MORE

2. Estimation of Water Depth from Multispectral Drone Imagery : A suitability assessment of CNN models for bathymetry retrieval in shallow water areas
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are the main vector species for dengue disease and zika, two arboviruses that affect a substantial fraction of the global population. These mosquitoes breed in very slow-moving or standing pools of water, so detecting and managing these potential breeding habitats is a crucial step in preventing the spread of these diseases.

5. Beaver wetland and lake effects on Francisella tularensis in Swedish landscapes and hares
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental StudiesAbstract : The zoonotic disease tularemia is caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis that infects both humans and wildlife in Sweden. Associations between outbreaks of tularemia and lakes and rivers have earlier been observed, and semi-aquatic rodents and mosquitoes are believed to be key species groups in the epidemiological cycle of the disease.
