Integrated techniques have been applied to support Geo-environmental studies of urban areas. The cities of Igoumenitsa and Volos, Greece have been selected as pilot project areas. Both optical and radar remote sensing systems have been used in order to study land cover changes, update geological maps and analyse areas of potential subsidence. Interpretation results have been compared to selected geo-information and the results are delivered in 1:5,000 scale. Land cover changes for the period of 1985 to 2015 and Geologic features related to geo-hazards have been mapped. Areas of subsidence have been identified for the first time in both areas of study. Earth observation data have been proven efficient for supporting "Regional and Local studies" of the urban environment and for monitoring the cities.

Machine Learning Techniques in Agricultural Flood Assessment and Monitoring Using Earth Observation...

December 2021 · Engineering Proceedings

Climate change could exacerbate floods on agricultural plains by increasing the frequency of extreme and adverse meteorological events. Flood extent maps could be a valuable source of information for agricultural land decision makers, risk management and emergency planning. We propose a method that combines various types of data and processing techniques in order to achieve accurate flood extent ... [Show full abstract] maps. The application aims to find the percentage of agricultural land that is covered by the floods through an automatic map estimation methodology based on the freely available Sentinel-2 (S2) satellite images and machine learning techniques.

Comparative analysis of classification techniques for building block extraction using aerial imagery...

December 2013

Building detection has been a prominent area in the area of image classification. Most of the research effort is adapted to the specific application requirements and available datasets. In this paper we present a comparative analysis of different classification techniques for building block extraction. Our dataset includes aerial orthophotos (with spatial resolution 20cm), a DSM generated from ... [Show full abstract] LiDAR (with spatial resolution 1m and elevation resolution 20 cm) and DTM (spatial resolution 2m) from an area of Athens, Greece. The classification methods tested are unsupervised (K-Means, Mean Shift), and supervised (Feed Forward Neural Net, Radial-Basis Functions, Support Vector Machines). We evaluated the performance of each method using a subset of the test area. We present the classified images, and statistical measures (confusion matrix, kappa coefficient and overall accuracy). Our results demonstrate that the top unsupervised method is the Mean Shift that performs similarly to the best supervised methods.
