1. 6. Monitoring Urbanization in Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana, using Multi-Temporal Sentinel-2 MSI Imagery and In-Situ Interviews

   University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

   Author : William Ljungström Armah; [2023]
   Keywords : Remote Sensing; Urbanization; Urban Mapping; Land Cover; Secondary City; Low- and Middle-Income Countries; SDG 11; Supervised Classification; Minor Field Study;

   Abstract : Rapid urbanization is taking place in Low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). Often there is not sufficient data monitoring the quick urban change. This study explores the use of machine learning classification within remote sensing to foster sustainable urban practices in a secondary city in an LMIC. READ MORE

3. 7. Urban tree canopy mapping -an open source deep learning approach

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Tobias Rydlinge; [2023]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; AI; deep learning; urban trees; remote sensing; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Urban trees have an important role to provide ecosystem services and to make our cities greener and more sustainable. The changing climate and densification of cities make it even more valuable to preserve and investigate in urban trees. READ MORE

4. 8. Damage Assessment of the 2022 Tongatapu Tsunami : With Remote Sensing

   University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

   Author : Milton Larsson; [2022]
   Keywords : remote sensing; land cover classification; Sentinel-1; Sentinel-2; change detection; change vector analysis;

   Abstract : The Island of Tongatapu, Tonga, was struck by a tsunami on January 15, 2022. Internet was cut off from the island, which made remote sensing a valuable tool for the assessment of damages. Through land cover classification, change vector analysis and log-ratio image differencing, damages caused by the tsunami were assessed remotely in this thesis. READ MORE

5. 9. Exploring Diversity of Spectral Data in Cloud Detection with Machine Learning Methods : Contribution of Near Infrared band in improving cloud detection in winter images

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Nakita Sunil Oza; [2022]
   Keywords : Remote sensing; Multispectral imaging; Cloud detection; Data diversity; Deep learning; Fjärranalys; Multispektral bildbehandling; Molndetektion; Datadiversitet; Djupinlärning;

   Abstract : Cloud detection on satellite imagery is an essential pre-processing step for several remote sensing applications. In general, machine learning based methods for cloud detection perform well, especially the ones based on deep learning as they consider both spatial and spectral features of the input image.

6. 10. Examining the protective services of mangroves at a regional scale in Indonesia

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Mikaela Gomez; [2022]
   Keywords : Mangroves; Nature-Based Solutions; Disaster Risk Reduction; Exposure; GIS; Remote Sensing; Science General;

   Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the exposure of the coastal population of Kalimantan, Indonesia changed as a result of coastal mangrove loss and population growth. The change of exposure has therefore been calculated through the loss of mangrove biomass, through deforestation and degradation, over time, as well the increase in population living within 10km2 of disturbed mangroves.
