Feature mapping
Feature mapping
part of the Terrain theme from CEGIS
Feature mapping is about identifying specific elements like roads, buildings, and natural features on maps to understand landscapes better.
This helps planners make decisions about development and conservation. CEGIS uses feature mapping to study how landscapes change over time, which helps them plan for things like managing forests and predicting floods.

Evaluation of classified ground points from National Agriculture Imagery program photogrammetrically derived point clouds Evaluation of classified ground points from National Agriculture Imagery program photogrammetrically derived point clouds
Studies have shown that digital surface models and point clouds generated by the United States Department of Agriculture’s National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) can measure basic forest parameters such as canopy height. However, all measured forest parameters from these studies are evaluated using the differences between NAIP digital surface models (DSMs) and available lidar...AuthorsJung-Kuan (Ernie) Liu, Samantha Arundel, Ethan J. ShaversRemote sensing-based 3D assessment of landslides: A review of the data, methods, and applications Remote sensing-based 3D assessment of landslides: A review of the data, methods, and applications
Remote sensing (RS) techniques are essential for studying hazardous landslide events because they capture information and monitor sites at scale. They enable analyzing causes and impacts of ongoing events for disaster management. There has been a plethora of work in the literature mostly discussing (1) applications to detect, monitor, and predict landslides using various instruments and...AuthorsHessah Albanwan, Rongjun Qin, Jung-Kuan (Ernie) LiuAt what scales does a river meander? Scale-specific sinuosity (S3) metric for quantifying stream meander size distribution At what scales does a river meander? Scale-specific sinuosity (S3) metric for quantifying stream meander size distribution
Stream bend geometry is linked to terrain features, hydrologic and ecologic conditions, and anthropogenic forces. Knowledge of the distributions of geometric properties of streams advances understanding of changing landscape conditions and associated processes that operate over a range of spatial scales. Statistical decomposition of sinuosity in natural linear features has proven a...AuthorsLarry Stanislawski, Barry J. Kronenfeld, Barbara P. Buttenfield, Ethan J.

The field of GeoAI or Geospatial Artificial Intelligence has undergone rapid development since 2017. It has been widely applied to address environmental and social science problems, from understanding climate change to tracking the spread of infectious disease. A foundational task in advancing GeoAI research is the creation of open, benchmark datasets to train and evaluate the...AuthorsWenwen Li, Sizhe Wang, Samantha Arundel, Chia-Yu Hsu
