Environment Agencies from Europe and the US are setting up a network of Linked Environment Data and are looking to crosslink it with Linked Data contributions from the life sciences.
The goal of cross-view image based geo-localization is to determine the location of a given street view image by matching it against a collection of geo-tagged satellite images. This task is notoriously challenging due to the drastic…
We propose to use deep convolutional neural networks to address the problem of cross-view image geolocalization, in which the geolocation of a ground-level query image is estimated by matching to georeferenced aerial images. We use…
This article explores the overall geometric manner in which human beings make sense of the world around them by means of their physical theories; in particular, in what are nowadays called pregeometric pictures of Nature. In these, the…
Current methods for Earth observation tasks such as semantic mapping, map alignment, and change detection rely on near-nadir images; however, often the first available images in response to dynamic world events such as natural disasters are…
