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 ...

Stay close, but not too close: aerial image analysis reveals patterns of social distancing in seal colonies

Devis Tuia, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger

Many species aggregate in dense colonies. Species-specific spatial patterns provide clues about how colonies are shaped by various (a)biotic factors, including predation, temperature regulation or disease transmission. Using aerial imagery, we examined the ...

Time Series Analysis of Urban Liveability

Devis Tuia, Diego Marcos Gonzalez, Alex Hubertus Levering

In this paper we explore deep learning models to monitor longitudinal liveability changes in Dutch cities at the neighbourhood level. Our liveability reference data is defined by a country-wise yearly survey based on a set of indicators combined into a liv ...

Cross-Modal Learning of Housing Quality in Amsterdam

Devis Tuia, Alex Hubertus Levering

In our research we test data and models for the recognition of housing quality in the city of Amsterdam from ground-level and aerial imagery. For ground-level images we compare Google StreetView (GSV) to Flickr images. Our results show that GSV predicts th ...

Self-Supervised Pretraining and Controlled Augmentation Improve Rare Wildlife Recognition in UAV Images

Devis Tuia, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger, Xiaochen Zheng, Rui Gong

Automated animal censuses with aerial imagery are a vital ingredient towards wildlife conservation. Recent models are generally based on deep learning and thus require vast amounts of training data. Due to their scarcity and minuscule size, annotating anim ...

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 ...

Towards Reliable Evaluation of Algorithms for Road Network Reconstruction from Aerial Images

Pascal Fua, Mateusz Kozinski, Leonardo Citraro

Existing connectivity-oriented performance measures rank road delineation algorithms inconsistently, which makes it difficult to decide which one is best for a given application. We show that these inconsistencies stem from design flaws that make the metri ...

The Foldable Drone: A Morphing Quadrotor That Can Squeeze and Fly

Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Davide Scaramuzza

The recent advances in state estimation, perception, and navigation algorithms have significantly contributed to the ubiquitous use of quadrotors for inspection, mapping, and aerial imaging. To further increase the versatility of quadrotors, recent works i ...

Achieving high-resolution thermal imagery in low-contrast lake surface waters by aerial remote sensing and image registration

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Daniel Sage, Abolfazl Irani Rahaghi

A two-platform measurement system for realizing airborne thermography of the Lake Surface Water Temperature (LSWT) with ~0.8 m pixel resolution (sub-pixel satellite scale) is presented. It consists of a tethered Balloon Launched Imaging and Monitoring Plat ...

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 ...
