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

    Abstract L’agriculture de précision (AP) est une stratégie de gestion agricole fondée sur l’observation, la mesure et la réponse à la variabilité des cultures inter/intra-champ. Il comprend des avancées en matière de collecte, d’analyse et de gestion des données, ainsi que des développements technologiques en matière de stockage et de récupération de données, de positionnement précis, de surveillance des rendements et de télédétection. Cette dernière offre une résolution spatiale, spectrale et temporelle sans précédent, mais peut également fournir des informations détaillées sur la hauteur de la végétation et diverses observations. Aujourd’hui, le succès des nouvelles technologies… More >

    Harnessing ML and GIS for Seismic Vulnerability Assessment and Risk Prioritization

    Shalu, Twinkle Acharya, Dhwanilnath Gharekhan, Dipak Samal
    Revue Internationale de Géomatique, Vol.33, pp. 111-134, 2024, DOI:10.32604/rig.2024.051788

    Abstract Seismic vulnerability modeling plays a crucial role in seismic risk assessment, aiding decision-makers in pinpointing areas and structures most prone to earthquake damage. While machine learning (ML) algorithms and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have emerged as promising tools for seismic vulnerability modeling, there remains a notable gap in comprehensive geospatial studies focused on India. Previous studies in seismic vulnerability modeling have primarily focused on specific regions or countries, often overlooking the unique challenges and characteristics of India. In this study, we introduce a novel approach to seismic vulnerability modeling, leveraging ML and GIS to address… 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.
