A Quantitative Study of Gully Erosion Based on Object-Oriented Analysis Techniques: A Case Study in Beiyanzikou Catchment of Qixia, Shandong, China by Tao Wang, Fuhong He, Anding Zhang, Lijuan Gu, Yangmao Wen, Weiguo Jiang, Hongbo Shao

“…This paper took a subregion in a small watershed gully system at Beiyanzikou catchment of Qixia, China, as a study and, using object-orientated image analysis (OBIA), extracted shoulder line of gullies from high spatial resolution digital orthophoto map (DOM) aerial photographs. Next, it proposed an accuracy assessment method based on the adjacent distance between the boundary classified by remote sensing and points measured by RTK-GPS along the shoulder line of gullies. …”

Semantic segmentation of glaciological features across multiple remote sensing platforms with the Segment Anything Model (SAM) by Siddharth Shankar, Leigh A. Stearns, C. J. van der Veen

“…We show that the Segment Anything Model performs well for different features (icebergs, glacier termini, supra-glacial lakes, crevasses), in different environmental settings (open water, mélange, and sea ice), with different sensors (Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Planet, timelapse photographs) and different spatial resolutions. Due to the performance, versatility, and cross-platform adaptability of SAM, we conclude that it is a powerful and robust model for cryosphere research.…”

The journal «Bulletin of the Police» as a source for studying the history of crime in Russian Empire during the First World War by E. E. Shumilova

“…From the standpoint of the theory of historical everyday life, it is argued that the distinctive features of the journal «Bulletin of the Police» are the regularity of coverage of criminal crime on the pages of the publication, a wide geographical coverage and a detailed description of events, as well as the publication of court photographs. At the same time, from a source point of view, this publication has a number of drawbacks, among which there is a onesided positive coverage of the work of the police in the fight against crime, the bureaucratic style of presentation of many published articles, as well as the silencing of many problematic issues in the field of studying crime during the war period and measures to combat it. …”

Building extraction from unmanned aerial vehicle imagery using Mask-RCNN (case study: Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember, Surabaya) by Ramadhani Anisa, Alya Nurul Fitri

“…Due to their individual shape, form, texture and colour variations, the automatic extraction of a building from high-resolution aerial photographs continues to be complicated. The Mask Region-based Convolutional neural network (Mask R-CNN) has shown recent improvements in object detection and extraction for updating data, which are superior to other methods. …”
