Summary

In the last decade, Artificial intelligence (AI) is having a transformative impact and paradigm shift on Geomatics Science and Engineering, which encompasses the collection, analysis, and interpretation of geospatial data. AI algorithms can be used to analyse large and complex geospatial datasets to extract proper/meaningful information and patterns that would be difficult or almost impossible to detect manually. This information can then be used to make better decisions about land use/land cover dynamics, urban/rural interactions, disaster preparedness, and environmental management and assessment.

 

In this Special Issue, we would like to invite you to submit original research related to the applications of AI in Geomatics for the environmental monitoring. Comprehensive reviews of this topic are also welcome.

 

The following topics/subtopics, but are not limited to, will be considered for this Special Issue:

 

- Applications of Machine and Deep learning in Geomatics (incl. remote sensing, geodesy, GIS, and surveying)

- Remote Sensing and Geodetic Applications for Vegetation Analysis

- Land Use/Cover Classification using Optical/SAR/UAV data

- Applications of AI for Atmospheric Remote Sensing (incl. sea level monitoring, atmosphere modelling and monitoring, GNSS data processing for climate monitoring)

- Applications of AI for feature extraction, classification, object recognition, change detection and domain adaptation

- Machine/Deep Learning for the classification and regression analysis of Earth Observation data

- The use of spaceborne as well as UAVs/airborne data in Antarctica and in Polar Regions

    Assessment of Particle Matter Pollution during Post-Earthquake Debris Removal in Adiyaman City

    Ercan Vural
    Revue Internationale de Géomatique, Vol.33, pp. 37-50, 2024, DOI:10.32604/rig.2024.047908

    Abstract Severe earthquakes in the world and in Turkey can cause great loss of life and property, environmental problems and health problems. In addition to the loss of life and property, earthquakes are closely related to ecosystems, air, water, and soil pollution. Particularly in post-earthquake debris removal, very large amounts of particulate matter are released and may have negative effects on the health of the local population. This study aimed to detect two types of particle matter pollution during debris removal in 25 different locations in Adiyaman City using a CEM DT 9880 particle matter measuring device in May and August… More >

    Abstract As the global population continues to expand, the demand for natural resources increases. Unfortunately, human activities account for 23% of greenhouse gas emissions. On a positive note, remote sensing technologies have emerged as a valuable tool in managing our environment. These technologies allow us to monitor land use, plan urban areas, and drive advancements in areas such as agriculture, climate change mitigation, disaster recovery, and environmental monitoring. Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), computer vision, and earth observation data have enabled unprecedented accuracy in land use mapping. By using transfer learning and fine-tuning with red-green-blue (RGB) bands, we achieved an… More >
