Unlike satellite images, which are typically acquired and processed in near-real-time, global land cover products have historically been produced on an annual basis, often with substantial lag times between image processing dataset release. We developed a new automated approach for globally consistent, high resolution, near real-time (NRT) use (LULC) classification leveraging deep learning 10 m Sentinel-2 imagery. utilize highly scalable cloud-based system to apply this provide open,...
Autonomous planetary rovers operating in vast unknown environments must operate efficiently because of size, power and computing limitations. Recently, we have developed a rover capable efficient obstacle avoidance path planning. The uses binocular stereo vision to sense potentially cluttered outdoor environments. Navigation is performed by combination several modules that each "vote" for the next best action robot execute. key distinction our system it produces globally intelligent behavior...
The continued development of maritime transportation around the world, and increased recognition direct indirect impacts vessel activities to marine resources, has prompted interest in better understanding operations their effects on environment. Such an been facilitated by Automatic Identification Systems (AIS), a mandatory communication navigational safety system that was adopted International Maritime Organization 2000 for use collision avoidance, coastal surveillance, traffic management....
National and international trade via shipping is already significant, expected to continue increasing rapidly over the next decade. Both more ships larger will contribute this trade, including from countries with less rigorous maintenance inspection standards than United States, strict pollution monitoring regulations. Changes in ship traffic management protocols have been implemented recent years U.S. minimize damage coastlines, particularly near sensitive or protected marine environments....
In clay‐rich sediment, microstructures and macrostructures influence how sediments deform when under stress. When lithology is fairly constant, anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) can be a simple technique for measuring the relative consolidation state which reflects sediment burial history. AMS reveal areas high water content apparent overconsolidation associated with unconformities where overburden has been removed. Many other methods testing are destructive invasive, whereas...
The Mars Pathfinder mission used a unique capability to rapidly generate and interactively display three‐dimensional (3‐D) photorealistic virtual reality (VR) models of the Martian surface. An interactive terrain visualization system creates renders digital produced from stereo images taken by Imager for (IMP) camera. pipeline, an automated machine vision algorithm, correlates features between left right determine their disparity computes corresponding positions using known camera geometry....

Moored buoys have long served national interests, but incur high development, construction, installation, and maintenance costs. Buoys which drift off-location can pose hazards to mariners, in coastal waters may cause environmental damage. Moreover, retrieval, repair replacement of drifting be delayed when data would most useful. Such gaps buoy a threat security by reducing maritime domain awareness. The concept self-positioning has been advanced reduce installation cost eliminating mooring...
Whale-ship strikes are of growing worldwide concern due to the steady growth commercial shipping. Improving current situation involves creation a communication capability allowing whale position information be estimated and exchanged among vessels other observation assets. An early example such system has been implemented for shipping lane approaches harbor Boston, Massachusetts where ship traffic transits areas Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary frequently used by whales. It uses...
ABSTRACT The Coastal Response Research Center (CRRC), a partnership between the University of New Hampshire (UNH) and NOAA'S Office Restoration (ORR), is leading an effort to develop data platform capable intefacing both static real-time sets accessible simultaneously command post assets in field with open source internet mapping server. Environmental Management Application (ERMA™) designed give responders decision makers ready access geographically specific useful during spill...
GeoCoastPilot is a research software application built to explore techniques for simplifying access the navigation information mariner needs prior entering or leaving port. intended demonstrate what possible with current technology and facilitate transfer. We started question, "What might digital based on NOAA Coast Pilot look like if other marine data sources were combined it?" Along these lines, introduces two new capabilities existing products: multiramas microlinks. These are help user...
Understanding and mitigating the effects of underwater noise on marine species requires substantial information regarding acoustic contributions from shipping. In 2006, we used U.S. Coast Guard's Automatic Identification System (AIS) to describe patterns large commercial ship traffic within a National Marine Sanctuary. AIS data were combined with low-frequency an array nine-ten autonomous recording units deployed throughout 2006. Analysis received sound levels (10-1000 Hz, root-mean squared...
The current rate of Mars exploration data acquisition demands that geoscientists and computer scientists coordinate central storage, processing visualization strategies to anticipate future technological advancements. We investigate how existing 3-D tools can be used study a part the orbiter lander (about 4 terabytes data). Our assist in juxtaposition different datum viewing spans multiple orders magnitude, specifically for scientific research pertaining Mars' geophysics geology. These also...
