Mapping vegetation using remotely sensed images involves considering various factors, procedures, and strategies. The accessibility of remote sensing images has greatly increased due to advancements in remote sensing technology. Different types of images, characterized by their spectral, spatial, radiometric, and temporal properties, are suitable for different vegetation mapping purposes. To identify and map vegetation cover from remotely sensed images, it is often necessary to first create a vegetation classification system, either at the community or at the species level. Following this, the goal is to establish connections between the identified vegetation categories (communities or species) within this classification system and the distinguishable spectral characteristics present in remote sensing data. This spectral classification is eventually transformed into the types of plants during the image interpretation process, also known as image processing. This book chapter provides an overview of the process of classifying and mapping plant cover using remote sensing data. Additionally, it includes a case study at the end of the chapter, which can be highly valuable for researchers working in the same field.

This is the first systematic literature review concerning the interconnections between big data (BD) and co-innovation. It uses BD as a common perspective of analysis as well as a concept aggregating different research streams (open innovation, co-creation and collaborative innovation). The review is based on the results of a bibliographic coupling analysis performed with 51 peer-reviewed papers published before the end of 2019. Three thematic clusters were discovered, which respectively focused on BD as a knowledge creation enabler within co-innovation contexts, BD as a driver of co-innovation processes based on customer engagement, and the impact of BD on co-innovation within service ecosystems. The paper theoretically argues that the use of BD, in addition to enhancing intentional and direct collaborative innovation processes, allows the development of passive and unintentional co-innovation that can be implemented through indirect relationships between the collaborative actors. This study also makes eleven unique research propositions concerning further theoretical developments and managerial implementations in the field of BD-driven co-innovation.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify current technologies related to Industry 4.0 and to develop a rationale to enhance the understanding of their functions within a data-driven paradigm. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review of 119 papers published in journals included in the Journal Citation Report (JCR) was conducted to identify Industry 4.0 technologies. A descriptive analysis characterizes the corpus, and a content analysis identifies the technologies. Findings The content analysis identified 111 technologies. These technologies perform four functions related to data: data generation and capture, data transmission, data conditioning, storage and processing and data application. The first three groups consist of enabling technologies and the fourth group of value-creating technologies. Results show that Industry 4.0 publications focus on enabling technologies that transmit and process data. Value-creating technologies, which apply data in order to develop new solutions, are still rare in the literature. Research limitations/implications The proposed framework serves as a structure for analysing the focus of publications over time, and enables the classification of new technologies as the paradigm evolves. Practical implications Because the technical side of the new production paradigm is complex and represents an evolving field, managers benefit from a simplified and data-driven approach. The proposed framework suggests that Industry 4.0 should be approached by looking at how data can create value and at what role each technology plays in this task. Originality/value The study makes a direct link between Industry 4.0 technologies and the key resource of this revolution, i.e. data. It provides a rationale that not only establishes relationships between technologies and data, but also highlights their roles as enablers or creators of value. Beyond showing the current focus of Industry 4.0 publications, this paper proposes a framework that is useful for tracking the evolution of the paradigm.

Despite the explosion of interest in big data in higher education and the ensuing rush for catch-all predictive algorithms, there has been relatively little focus on the pedagogical and pastoral contexts of learning. The provision of personalized feedback and support to students is often generalized and decontextualized, and examples of systems that enable contextualized support are notably absent from the learning analytics landscape. In this chapter we discuss the design and deployment of the Student Relationship Engagement System (SRES), a learning analytics system that is grounded primarily within the unique contexts of individual courses. The SRES, currently in use by teachers from 19 departments, takes a holistic and more human-centric view of data—one that puts the relationship between teacher and student at the center. Our approach means that teachers’ pedagogical expertise in recognizing meaningful data, identifying subgroups of students for a range of support actions, and designing and deploying these actions, is facilitated by a customizable technology platform. We describe a case study of the application of this human-centric approach to learning analytics, including its impacts on improving student engagement and outcomes, and debate the cultural, pedagogical, and technical aspects of learning analytics implementation.
