  1. 1. GIS and remote sensing based mapping of microtopography and vegetation composition in a boreal mire complex

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Nils Helge Havertz; [2023]
    Keywords : Microtopography modelling; Remote sensing; Boreal mixed mires; Object Based Image Analysis OBIA ; random forest RF ;

    Abstract : Small scale variations in mire surface elevation referred to as microtopography are fundamental characteristics of mire ecosystems especially in the boreal region. Microtopography commonly classified into hummocks and hollows play a major role in several ecological, hydrological and biogeochemical processes including vegetation composition and carbon and methane dynamics.

  3. 2. Performance Estimation of a 1D pulsed LiDAR : A Study of SiPM-Based LiDAR in Ambient Light

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

    Author : Joel Rune; [2023]
    Keywords : LiDAR; SiPM; SPAD; Ambient light; LiDAR; Kisel-fotomultiplikator; SPAD; Bakgrundsljus;

    Abstract : LiDAR is a remote sensing technology that uses a laser to map the surrounding environment. With its many applications, for example in autonomous vehicles, LiDAR is a growing field within technology and research. The silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) is a solid state device commonly used in the receiving system of a LiDAR. READ MORE

  4. 3. Land Use/Land Cover Classification From Satellite Remote Sensing Images Over Urban Areas in Sweden : An Investigative Multiclass, Multimodal and Spectral Transformation, Deep Learning Semantic Image Segmentation Study

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Oskar Aidantausta; Patrick Asman; [2023]
    Keywords : data fusion; deep learning; land use land cover classification; multiclass; multimodal; remote sensing; semantic segmentation; Sentinel satellite; spectral index; U-Net; Urban Atlas;

    Abstract : Remote Sensing (RS) technology provides valuable information about Earth by enabling an overview of the planet from above, making it a much-needed resource for many applications. Given the abundance of RS data and continued urbanisation, there is a need for efficient approaches to leverage RS data and its unique characteristics for the assessment and management of urban areas.

  5. 4. Importance of Snow in Alpine Plant Ecology : And Remote Sensing Applications in Species Modeling

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Eva Meyer; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Global warming, with pronounced increases toward the poles and high latitudes, has impacts on alpine vegetation. If snow patterns change in response to global warming, snow parameters are predictors of interest in alpine plant species distribution and traits modeling because snow is known to strongly control the local growing conditions of alpine plants.

  6. 5. A Deep Learning Based Approach to Object Recognition from LiDAR Data Along Swedish Railroads

    University essay from KTH/Fastigheter och byggande

    Author : Egil Morast; [2022]
    Keywords : Deep learning; DGCNN; LiDAR; Object recognition; Railroad; Automatisation; Sweden; Point cloud; Djupinlärning; DGCNN; LiDAR; Objektigenkänning; Järnväg; Automatisering; Sverige; Punktmoln;

    Abstract : Malfunction in the overhead contact line system is a common cause of disturbances in the train traffic in Sweden. Due to the preventive methods being inefficient, the Swedish Transport Administration has stated the need to develop the railroad maintenance services and has identified Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an important tool for this undertaking.
