Terrain is considered one of the most essential natural geographic features and is a key
factor in physical processes. Geomorphometry and terrain analyses have provided a wealth …

By interpretations related to energy, elementary land surface segmentation can be treated
as a physical problem. Many pieces of such a view found in the literature can be combined …

Accurate mapping of loess waterworn gully (LWG) is essential to further study gully erosion
and geomorphological evolution for the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP). Due to the vertical …

Segmentation of Earth science imagery is an increasingly common task. Among modern
techniques that use Deep Learning, the UNet architecture has been shown to be a reliable …

Many issues can reduce the reproducibility and replicability of deep learning (DL) research
and application in remote sensing, including the complexity and customizability of …

Permafrost coasts are experiencing accelerated erosion in response to above average
warming in the Arctic resulting in local, regional, and global consequences. However, Arctic …

Landform mapping is the initial step of many geomorphological analyses (eg assessment of
natural hazards and natural resources) and requires vast resources to be applied to wide …

Many studies of Earth surface processes and landscape evolution rely on having accurate
and extensive data sets of surficial geologic units and landforms. Automated extraction of …

Previously glaciated landscapes often share similar surficial characteristics, including large
areas of exposed bedrock, blankets of till deposits, and alluvium-floored valleys. These …

In recent years, automatic image classification methods have significantly progressed,
notably black box algorithms such as machine learning and deep learning. Unfortunately …
