Convolutional Neural Networks Accurately Predict Cover Fractions of Plant Species and Communities in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Imagery

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) greatly extended our possibilities to acquire high resolution remote sensing data for assessing the spatial distribution of species composition and vegetation characteristics. Yet, current pixel- or texture-based …

UAV Data as Alternative to Field Sampling to Map Woody Invasive Species Based on Combined Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 Data

Invasive plant species can pose major threats to biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and services. Satellite based remote sensing has evolved as an important technology to spatially map the occurrence of invasive species in space and time. With the …
