swissALPS: a Dataset for Imbalanced Land Cover Mapping in Alpine Regions

Our dataset consists of very high-resolution aerial images (50cm) and a digital elevation model (50cm) that covers approx. 2300 km2 of land above 2000m altitude in the southwestern part of Switzerland. Our land cover labels focus on alpine land cover that ...

Liveability from Above: Understanding Quality of Life with Overhead Imagery and Deep Neural Networks

Devis Tuia, Alex Hubertus Levering

Urban planners are increasingly interested in understanding what makes a neighbourhood pleasant and liveable. In this paper, we use the overhead perspective as a new way to describe and understand liveability of city neighborhoods. We predict building qual ...

Reconstructing Evolving Tree Structures in Time Lapse Sequences by Enforcing Time-Consistency

Pascal Fua, Engin Türetken, Raphael Sznitman, Jan Kybic, Agata Justyna Mosinska, Przemyslaw Rafal Glowacki, Miguel Amável Dos Santos Pinheiro, Daniel Lebrecht

We propose a novel approach to reconstructing curvilinear tree structures evolving over time, such as road networks in 2D aerial images or neural structures in 3D microscopy stacks acquired in vivo. To enforce temporal consistency, we simultaneously proces ...

Bundle adjustment with raw inertial observations

Jan Skaloud, Davide Antonio Cucci, Martin Rehak

t is well known that accurate aerial position and attitude control is beneficial for image orientation in airborne photogrammetry. The aerial control is traditionally obtained by Kalman filtering/smoothing inertial and GNSS observations prior to the bundle ...

Time synchronization of consumer cameras on Micro Aerial Vehicles

Jan Skaloud, Martin Rehak

This article discusses the problem of time registration between navigation and imaging components on Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs). Accurate mapping with MAVs is gaining importance in applications such as corridor mapping, road and pipeline inspections or m ...

Learning Aerial Image Segmentation from Online Maps

Martin Jaggi, Jan Dirk Wegner, Aurélien Lucchi, Thomas Hofmann

This study deals with semantic segmentation of high-resolution (aerial) images where a semantic class label is assigned to each pixel via supervised classification as a basis for automatic map generation. Recently, deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) ...

Accurate Optical Target Pose Determination For Applications In Aerial Photogrammetry

Davide Antonio Cucci

We propose a new design for an optical coded target based on concentric circles and a position and orientation determination algorithm optimized for high distances compared to the target size. If two ellipses are fitted on the edge pixels corresponding to ...

Combining Human Computing and Machine Learning to Make Sense of Big (Aerial) Data for Disaster Response

Stéphane Joost, Devis Tuia, Matthew Josef Parkan, Carlos Castillo, Muhammad Imran, Patrick Meier, Julien Briant

Aerial imagery captured via unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is playing an increasingly important role in disaster response. Unlike satellite imagery, aerial imagery can be captured and processed within hours rather than days. In addition, the spatial resol ...

Coherence management in lithography printing systems

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Johana Bernasconi

In proximity lithography, interference and diffraction effects arise when printing small features because of the proximity gap. Different techniques are used in order to control and take advantage of theses effects. In this paper, the focus is set on the M ...

Multiscale Centerline Detection

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Engin Türetken, Amos Sironi

Finding the centerline and estimating the radius of linear structures is a critical first step in many applications, ranging from road delineation in 2D aerial images to modeling blood vessels, lung bronchi, and dendritic arbors in 3D biomedical image stac ...
