A Hybrid Spatial-temporal Sequence-to-one Neural Network Model for Lane Detection

Reliable and accurate lane detection is of vital importance for the safe performance of Lane Keeping Assistance and Lane Departure Warning systems. However, under certain challenging peculiar circumstances (e.g., marking degradation, serious vehicle occlusion), it is quite difficult to get satisfactory performance in accurately detecting the...

Retrieval of forest height information using spaceborne LiDAR data: a comparison of GEDI and ICESat-2 missions for Crimean pine (Pinus nigra) stands

Key message: Despite showing a cost-effective potential for quantifying vertical forest structure, the GEDI and ICESat-2 satellite LiDAR missions fall short of the data accuracy standards required by tree- and stand-level forest inventories. Abstract: Tree and stand heights are key inventory variables in forestry, but measuring them manually...

Sight-seeing in the eyes of deep neural networks

We address the interpretability of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for predicting a geo-location from an image. In a pilot experiment we classify images of Pittsburgh vs Tokyo and visualize the learned CNN filters. We found that varying the CNN architecture leads to variating in the visualized filters. This calls for further...
