Point clouds captured from Unmanned Aerial Systems are increasingly relied upon to provide information describing the structure of forests. The quality derived these point is dependent on a range variables, including type and forest, weather conditions flying parameters. A key requirement achieve accurate estimates height based metrics forest source ground information. This study explores availability reliability surface points available within in six forests different (canopy cover height),...
Floating and washed ashore marine plastic debris (MPD) is a growing environmental challenge. It has become evident that secluded locations including the Arctic, Antarctic, remote islands are being impacted by pollution generated thousands of kilometers away. Optical sensing MPD an emerging field can aid in monitoring environments where in-person observation data collection not always feasible. Here we evaluate spectral features visible to shortwave infrared regions for detecting varying...
Marine plastic debris (MPD) is a globally relevant environmental challenge, with an estimated 8 million tons of synthetic entering the marine environment each year. Plastic has been found in all parts environment, including surface layers ocean, within water column, coastal waters, on benthic layer and beaches. While research detecting MPD using remote sensing increasing, most it focuses floating open rather than However, beaches present challenges that are unique from other environment. In...
A field spectroscopy metadata standard is defined as those data elements that explicitly document the dataset and protocols, sampling strategies, instrument properties environmental logistical variables. Standards for affect quality, completeness, reliability, usability of datasets created in situ. Currently there no standardized methodology documentation situ or metadata. This paper presents results an international experiment comprising a web-based survey expert panel evaluation...
This paper presents the proposed criteria for measuring quality and completeness of field spectroscopy metadata in a spectral archive. Definitions datasets are introduced. Unique methods to meet requirements presented. Field can be defined terms (but is not limited to) logical consistency, lineage, semantic syntactic error rates, compliance with standard, assurance by recognized authority, reputational authority data owners/data creators. Two libraries examined as case studies...
Reproducibility is widely regarded as crucial for scientific studies, yet there still a lack of reproducibility in geospatial research. New sources crowdsourced geoinformation provide new opportunities, but also complicate the situation. Consequently, untapped potential domain disaster response to reuse methodology. Shared, executable workflows can help improving reproducibility. In this paper, we created reproducible from three published studies using geosocial media sources. They have been...
Plastic pollution on shorelines poses a significant threat to coastal ecosystems, underscoring the urgent need for scalable detection methods facilitate debris removal. In this study, Beached Debris Index (BPDI) was developed detect plastic accumulation beaches using shortwave infrared spectral features. To validate BPDI, targets with varying sub-pixel covers were placed sand spit and captured WorldView-3 satellite imagery. The performance of BPDI analysed in comparison Normalized Difference...
This paper describes the design, development, and testing of a general-purpose scientific-workflows tool for spatial analytics. Spatial analytics processes are frequently complex, both conceptually computationally. Adaptation, documention, reproduction bespoke procedures represents growing challenge today, particularly in this era big data. Scientific workflow systems hold promise increased openness transparency with improved automation processes. In work, we built implemented KNIME...
This paper presents an approach to developing robust metadata standards for specific applications that serves ensure a high level of reliability and interoperability spectroscopy dataset. The challenges designing standard meets the unique requirements user communities are examined, including in situ measurement reflectance underwater, using coral as case point. Metadata schema mappings from seven existing demonstrate they consistently fail meet needs field scientists general (μ = 22%, σ 32%...
Abstract. Field spectroscopic metadata is a central component in the quality and reliability of hyperspectral data products derived from it. The impact quantity format created at this fundamental stage research amplified as exchange becomes prolific international remote sensing community. Cataloguing, mining, interoperability these datasets rely upon robustness protocols for field spectroscopy. Currently no standardized methodology collecting situ spectroscopy or exist. This paper presents...
Digital vector maps are an expensive commodity. Like any digital data, they also very easy to copy. Piracy (or unauthorised reselling) of will become increasingly common in the future. This project looks at embedding a hidden message or watermark map so that its original authorship can be ascertained. information enables 3rd party verify seller's rights and aid resolution copyright disputes. Some other watermarking schemes, look as cloud coordinates, perturbed some way is independent actual...

Abstract. Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Functions (BRDF) seek to represent variations in surface reflectance resulting from changes a satellite's view and solar illumination angles. BRDF representations have been widely used assist the characterisation of vegetation. However effects are often noisy, difficult interpret spatial integral all individual features present pixel.

Recent trends in GIS have seen the widespread development of web-based products. Current implementations consist either static, pre-rendered systems offering little interaction, or vector-based with limited functionality. All offer scope for data exchange. This paper reports on findings a cooperative research project between spatial developer, SPATIAL info, and RMIT Department Geospatial Science, to prototype system address these limitations. The involved an investigation into current...
