Active remote sensing- Behind the research

Active sources of remote sensing data, in particular Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR), majorly differ from passive sources by offering data of three-dimensional (3D) character, which help representing the earth terrain, surface and the related structural attributes. This cross-journal special feature hosts a series of innovative publications from multiple disciplines, but with a common focus on the state-of-the-art science … Continue reading Active remote sensing- Behind the research

Seeds ‘exposed’! A method to automatically reveal seed morphological traits from images.

Post provided by Roberta L. C. Dayrell The knowledge of seed morphology is an essential resource for practitioners and scientists across diverse disciplines such as botany, agriculture, restoration, conservation, and archaeology. Morphological attributes can inform studies on topics such as seed dispersal, predation, longevity, and germination. This knowledge also has practical applications, including seed identification and assessments of quality and ripeness. But extracting meaningful information … Continue reading Seeds ‘exposed’! A method to automatically reveal seed morphological traits from images.

Heat waves reconstructed!

Post provided by Loke von Schmalensee For many decades, humans have tried to understand how to process continuous signals for our convenience. As a result, numerous innovative methods have been developed for recording, compressing, restoring, and transforming (and more) continuous signals. Consider, for instance, the relationship between signal processing and music: it comes into play directly through the recording of sound waves, and indirectly via … Continue reading Heat waves reconstructed!

Unraveling the identity of fish sounds to support marine conservation

Post provided by Xavier Mouy Fish sounds and marine conservation Many fish species produce sounds to attract mates, scare away predators or defend their territory. These sounds are very useful to us, scientists! Just by listening to the ocean, we can detect the presence of different fish species, infer their behaviour and potentially find out how many fish there are in an environment. This has … Continue reading Unraveling the identity of fish sounds to support marine conservation

Wind-robust sound event detection and denoising for bioacoustics

Post provided by Julius Juodakis Common solutions to wind noise don’t work with bioacoustics Bioacoustics has great potential to help us understand animal communities. We already have strikingly futuristic hardware for capturing natural sounds, such as the autonomous Audiomoth or the 5-gram μMoth recorders, and projects making use of it, such as the live-observation WhaleMap, SAFE Project in Borneo, or the Australian Acoustic Observatory, the … Continue reading Wind-robust sound event detection and denoising for bioacoustics
