1 The Digital Elevation Model that has been derived from the February 2000 2 Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) has been one of the most 3 important publicly available new spatial datasets in recent years. However, the 4 'finished' grade version of the data (also referred to as Version 2) still contains 5 data voids (some 836,000 km 2) – and other anomalies – that prevent immediate 6 use i...

Autonomous robotic systems operating in unstructured outdoor environments need to estimate the traversability of the terrain in order to navigate safely. Traversability estimation is a challenging problem, as the traversability is a complex function of both the terrain characteristics, such as slopes, vegetation, rocks, etc and the robot mobility characteristics, i.e. locomotion method, wheels,...

BACKGROUND The western rock lobster, Panulirus cygnus, is endemic to Western Australia and supports substantial commercial and recreational fisheries. Due to and its wide distribution and the commercial and recreational importance of the species a key component of managing western rock lobster is understanding the ecological processes and interactions that may influence lobster abundance and di...

We applied a deep learning terrain classification system, the ‘Novelty or Anomaly Hunter – HiRISE’ (NOAH-H), originally developed for ExoMars landing sites in Oxia Planum and Mawrth Vallis, to Mars 2020 Perseverance rover site Jezero crater. NOAH-H successfully classified four HiRISE images of even though landforms study area were slightly different from those training dataset. mosaicked raster...

The goal of this paper is to identify the military geographic factors that affect the cross-country mobility (trafficability of the terrain) and to cite some standardised procedures for establishing of these factors. Classification of the crosscountry movement levels. Influence of the slope, vegetation, water, soil, weather, urban area, transportation, and another features on the cross-country ...
