Plastic pollution has become the most concerning problem in aquatic environments. Plastic can be found in the blue environment on all continents from waterways and beaches, especially in South East Asia where this problem is most extensive and the microplastic is found in fresh Antarctic snow. Although this problem is a concern in the scientific co...

Building footprints is important information in many types of applications, including optimization of rescuer response in case of catastrophic events, urban planning, urban dynamic monitoring, 3D building modeling etc. Traditionally, in remote sensing, building footprints are detected from very high-resolution images or point clouds. Convolution Ne...

The challenge Access to clean water has become a critical issue worldwide due to urbanization, growing population, intensive industrial development and climate change increasing water stress and pollutant loads into the freshwater ecosystem. Water quality describes the water properties in terms of biological, physicchemical and hydro morphological...

Plastic pollution in water ecosystems has been a razing problem since the mid-1970s and it is becoming one of the biggest global environmental problems. Today, plastic litter is presented everywhere from river banks, coastal areas, and seafloor to the most remote points in the ocean. However, there is still a lack of exact data on the amount and sp...

In recent years, fast and simple acquisition of geospatial data, fast processing, and distribution is a trend that characterizes geoinformation technologies. The primacy of the acquisition is based on image processing technology and laser scanning. This paper attempts to answer how acceptable these technologies are incorporated into smartphones whi...

Up-to-date cadastral maps are crucial for urban planning. Creating those maps with the classical geodetic methods is expensive and time-consuming. Emerge of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) made a possibility for quick acquisition of data with much more details than it was possible before. The topic of the research refers to the challenges of automat...

This study presents the integration of a cloud platform (Google Earth Engine API) and an algorithm for automatic detection, for near real-time burned area mapping using Sentinel-2 images. The algorithm used differenced NBR images, a region growing algorithm and the OTSU thresholding method to maximize the level of automatization. The results were c...

Although plastic pollution is one of the most noteworthy environmental issues nowadays, there is still a knowledge gap in terms of monitoring the spatial distribution of plastics, which is needed to prevent its negative effects and to plan mitigation actions. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can provide suitable data for mapping floating plastic, bu...

Digital elevation model (DEM) has been frequently used for the reduction and management of flood risk. Various classification methods have been developed to extract DEM from point clouds. However, the accuracy and computational efficiency need to be improved. The objectives of this study were as follows: (1) to determine the suitability of a new me...

This study provides comparison of object and pixel based image analysis capabilities for burned area mapping in Mediterranean part of the Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina based on free Earth observation mission (ESA) Sentinel-2 satellite images. More specifically, the performance of the Nearest Neighboured (NN) algorithm for object-based...

This paper shows the basic characteristics of satellite images of remote sensing in managing emergency situations, as well as their ability to use in managing emergency plans. The satellite systems Landsat 8, Sentinel 2A and Modis were analyzed. Analyzing the accuracy of the classification of satellite images in crisis situations, it has been shown...

The millions of tons of plastics ending up in the ocean every year. Marine plastic litter is a global environmental problem with significant economic, ecological, public health and aesthetic impacts. In order to reduce those impacts and reduce plastics abundance, source of litter and they pathways need to be identified. Land based litter, transport...

The global plastic production increasing over time, reaching maximum of 335 million metric tons in 2016. Tonnes of that plastics end up in world ocean every year. With this rate we are faceing future with more plastic in the Ocean than fish by 2050. Altho, marine debris has become significant concern for the helth of ocean and humans there is many...

Water bodies are among most sensitive ecological environments. In order to ensure good water quality and establish framework for their protection European Parliament was adopted the Water Framework Directive (WFD) (Directive 2000/60/EC). The biological, hydro morphological and physic chemical quality parameters which are relevant for assessment of...

Floods are one of the most serious, common and expensive natural disasters that cause fatalities and considerable economic losses worldwide every year. Climate change has dramatically increased the frequency and the severity of the flood events. In May 2014, 2/3 of Serbia were affected by the floods, more than 400 homes were destroyed while the tot...

Surface water maps are essential for many environmental applications. Waterbody delineation from satellite images remains a challenging task due to sensor limitations, the presence of clouds, the low albedo surfaces in urban areas, topographic, and atmospheric conditions. In this paper, a model based on the Supported Vector Machine (SVM) classifier...

Floods are one of the most serious and common natural disasters that cause fatalities and considerable economic losses worldwide every year. In order to reduce and manage risk that floods pose to human health, the environmental and economy flood risk map, as a crucial element of flood risk management, need to be generated. Most often flood risk is...

The Water Framework Directive of the European Union aims to protect water bodies from feature degradation. Monitoring is essential for assessment and comprehensive overview of water status. Annex V of WFD define tree type of water quality parameters which need to be monitored (biological and two supported one – hydro morphological and physic chemic...

European Union Water Frame Work Directive is established in order to preserve water quality of all water body. In order to assess and monitor status of water bodies various information about geometry, topology and attributes (dened according to Annex V and Annex X of WFD) need to be collected and reported to EU commission. The goal of this researc...
