EcoDes-DK15: High-resolution ecological descriptors of vegetation and terrain derived from Denmark's national airborne laser scanning data set

<p><strong>Eighteen high-resolution ecological descriptors of vegetation and terrain for Denmark &quot;EcoDes-DK15&quot;</strong></p> <p>The data are derived from the nationwide airborne laser scanning / LiDAR campaign of Denmark from 2014-2015 provided by the Danish Agency for Data Supply and Efficiency.</p> <p><strong>Update: EcoDes-DK15 v1.1.0 (4 Dec. 2021)</strong></p> <p>Following the recommendations and feedback during the first round of peer-review, we updated the EcoDes-DK processing pipeline and EcoDes-DK15 data set. The key changes are:</p> <ul> <li>New version of the source data optimised to contain only point data collected before the end of 2015. The source data for EcoDes-DK15 v1.0.0 unintentionally contained data from 2018. The new source data is documented <a href="https://github.com/jakobjassmann/ecodes-dk-lidar/blob/master/documentation/source_data/readme.md">here</a>.</li> <li>New &quot;date_stamp_*&quot; auxiliary variables that illustrate the survey dates for the vegetation points in each cell. See updated descriptor documentation <a href="https://github.com/jakobjassmann/ecodes-dk-lidar/blob/master/documentation/descriptors.md">here</a>.</li> <li>Re-scaling of &quot;solar_radiation&quot; variable to MJ per 100 m<sup>2</sup> per year.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Detailed documentation for the data set can be found in the accompanying manuscript and GitHub repository:</strong></p> <p>Assmann, J.

Despite the increasing availability of such data at regional and national scales, the average ecologist has been limited in accessing them due to high requirements on computing power and remote-sensing knowledge. We processed Denmark&rsquo;s publicly available national Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) data set acquired in 2014/15 together with the accompanying elevation model to compute 70 rasterized descriptors of interest for ecological studies. With a grain size of 10 m, these data products provide a snapshot of high-resolution measures including vegetation height, structure and density, as well as topographic descriptors including elevation, aspect, slope and wetness across more than forty thousand square kilometres covering almost all of Denmark&rsquo;s terrestrial surface. The resulting data set is comparatively small (~94 GB, compressed 16.8 GB) and the raster data can be readily integrated into analytical workflows in software familiar to many ecologists (GIS software, R, Python). Source code and documentation for the processing workflow are openly available via a code repository, allowing for transfer to other ALS data sets, as well as modification or re-calculation of future instances of Denmark&rsquo;s national ALS data set. We hope that our high-resolution ecological vegetation and terrain descriptors (EcoDes-DK15) will serve as an inspiration for the publication of further such data sets covering other countries and regions and that our rasterized data set will provide a baseline of the ecosystem structure for current and future studies of biodiversity, within Denmark and beyond.</p> <p><strong>Acknowledgements (from manuscript)</strong></p> <p>We would like to thank Andr&agrave;s Zlinszky for his contributions to earlier versions of the data set, Charles Davison for feedback regarding data use and handling, as well as Matthew Barbee and Zs&oacute;fia Koma for sharing their insights on the source data merger and Zs&oacute;fia&rsquo;s script to generate summary statistics for the different versions of the DHM point clouds.

Terrain variables used for ensemble distribution modelling of vulnerable marine ecosystems indicator taxa on data-limited seamounts of Cabo Verde (NW Africa)

<p><em>Aim:</em> Seamounts are conspicuous geological features with an important ecological role and can be considered Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs). Since many deep-sea regions remain largely unexplored, investigating the occurrence of VME taxa on seamounts is challenging. Our study aimed to predict the distribution of four cold-water coral (CWC) taxa, indicators for VMEs, in a region where occurrence data is scarce.</p> <p><em>Location: </em>Seamounts around the Cabo Verde Archipelago (NW Africa).</p> <p><em>Methods:</em> We used species presence-absence data obtained from Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) footage collected during two research expeditions. Terrain variables calculated using a multiscale approach from a 100 m resolution bathymetry grid, as well as physical oceanographical data from the VIKING20X model, at a native resolution of 1/20°, were used as environmental predictors. Two modelling techniques (Generalized Additive Model (GAM) and Random Forest (RF)) were employed and single-model predictions were combined into a final weighted-average ensemble model. Model performance was validated using different metrics through cross-validation.</p> <p><em>Results</em>: Terrain orientation, at broad-scale, presented one of the highest relative variable contributions to the distribution models of all CWC taxa, suggesting that hydrodynamic-topographic interactions on the seamounts could benefit CWCs by maximizing food supply. However, changes at finer scales in terrain morphology and bottom salinity were important for driving differences in the distribution of specific CWCs. The ensemble model predicted the presence of VME taxa on all seamounts and consistently achieved the highest performance metrics, outperforming individual models. Nonetheless, model extrapolation and uncertainty, measured as the coefficient of variation, were high, particularly, in least surveyed areas across seamounts, highlighting the need to collect more data in future surveys.</p> <p><em>Main conclusions:</em> Our study shows how data-poor areas may be assessed for the likelihood of VMEs and provides important information to guide future research in Cabo Verde, which is fundamental to advise ongoing conservation planning.</p>

Synthetic Lunar Terrain: A Multimodal Open Dataset for Training and Evaluating Neuromorphic Vision Algorithms

<p><strong>Synthetic Lunar Terrain (SLT) </strong>is a dataset based on a reconstruction of a typical <strong>cratered lunar surface landscape&nbsp;</strong>at the <a href="https://set.adelaide.edu.au/atcsr/space-research/exterres-laboratory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EXTERRES Laboratory</a> at University of Adelaide, Roseworthy Campus. On a surface area of <strong>3.6m x 4.8m</strong>, multiple synthetic craters with different sizes and geometries were sculpted into<strong> lunar regolith simulant</strong>. A <strong>9kW metal-halide lamp</strong> illuminated the scene, providing high contrast drop-shadows from the rims of craters and similar surface features that are characteristic for the Earth's moon.</p> <p>The purpose of this dataset is to provide multimodal recordings of visual information to develop and test algorithms on a hardware analogue of the moon rather than relying on computer simulations. In particular, comparisons between <strong>neuromorphic vision sensors</strong> like <strong>event-based cameras</strong> and imaging with <strong>conventional monocular cameras</strong> are at the core of this work. For this purpose, an event-based camera (Gen4 Prophesee with Prophesee-Sony IMX636 sensor) was mounted downward-pointing next to a optical camera (Basler a2A1920-160ucPRO with Sony IMX392 sensor) on an extendable rod which was moved above the surface in a slow and continuous sweep. In total, SLT consists of camera recordings from 21 different positions/settings, with clockwise and anti-clockwise motions under varying, extreme lighting conditions.</p> <p>The event-stream and grayscale image data can be further referenced via a detailed <strong>3D point cloud</strong>&nbsp;obtained by a FARO Focus S70 3D Scanner. This 3D Scan was post-processed, realigned and resampled into a 3D point cloud of&nbsp;<strong>~6.25M points,&nbsp;</strong>with a surface density of <strong>1.862 p/mm&sup2;</strong>, providing a ground-truth for the crater geometries.</p> <p>In detail, SLT contains the following:</p> <ul> <li>eventbased.zip: <ul> <li><strong>42 camera orbits</strong> in the binary&nbsp;<strong>EVT 3.0</strong> format (<a href="https://docs.prophesee.ai/stable/data/encoding_formats/evt3.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prophesee docs</a>)&nbsp;</li> <li>corresponding <strong>.mp4 </strong>event-frame video rendering for visualization purposes (33.333ms accumulation time at 30FPS)</li> <li>corresponding<strong> .bias</strong> file containing settings used during recording</li> </ul> </li> <li>code.zip: <ul> <li>Standalone C++ code of the <strong>metavision EVT3-to-RAW file decoder</strong>, allowing to convert the binary EVT 3.0 format into a plaintext <strong>.csv&nbsp;</strong>that includes <ul> <li>the coordinates of the event-pixel,</li> <li>the polarity change,</li> <li>and the time-stamp of the event.</li> </ul> </li> <li>This code is an unmodified redistribution from the <a href="https://www.prophesee.ai/metavision-intelligence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Metavision SDK</a>, version 4.6.0, released by Prophesee under Apache License 2.0.</li> </ul> </li> <li>&nbsp;optical.zip: <ul> <li><strong>42 image sequences</strong> in <strong>.tif</strong> format (LZW, 1920x1200px, 8bit, grayscale) <ul> <li>Length of image sequences varies between about 300 to 700 images per sequence</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li>3d_scan.zip: <ul> <li><strong>SLT3d_scan.ply:</strong> 3D point cloud of the scene Stanford Polygon File Format</li> <li><strong>SLT3d_scan.xyz:</strong> 3D point cloud with plaintext x y z coordinates, white-space separated</li> </ul> </li> <li>cratermap.png: <ul> <li>Annotations of <strong>130 different surface features</strong> that have been manually identified as crater-like with approximate x,y-coordinates.</li> </ul> </li> <li>positionmap.png: <ul> <li>Illustration of the different positions from which the rod was moved over the scene (not to scale).</li> </ul> </li> <li>sample.zip: <ul> <li>A sample containing 1 event-camera orbit with the corresponding image sequence (for convenience only, to test the dataset without the need to download it's entirety)</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>The global coordinate frame of this dataset puts the origin at the centre of the scene. The shorter side of the terrain is roughly aligned with the x-axis, the longer side with the y-axis. The z-axis represents height/depth (compare with <strong>cratermap.png</strong>). The different conditions (compare with <strong>positionmap.png</strong>) from which the data was taken are encoded as follows:</p> <ul> <li><strong>A1, ..., A9</strong> refer to the left side of the scene (negative x)</li> <li><strong>B1, ..., B9 </strong>refer to the right side of the scene (positive x)</li> <li><strong>S1, S2, S3</strong> and <strong>S4 </strong>describe special lighting conditions and/or parameter settings</li> <li><strong>CW </strong>refers to a "clockwise" sweeping of the camera-rod, relative to the position</li> <li><strong>ACW</strong> refers to an "anti-clockwise" sweeping of the camera-rod, relative to the position</li> </ul> <p>The light from the metal-halide lamp was directed through a small opening, shining along the positive y-axis. In some of the setups, an obstacle was placed between the surface and the opening, blocking out part of the light to create a light-dark separator on the surface, emulating the&nbsp;<strong>terminator</strong> on the Moon between it's day and night side, resulting in highly contrastive images.</p> <p>We encourage you to consult and cite our related publication, should you find SLT useful.</p> <ul> <li>M&auml;rtens, M., Farries, K., Culton, J. and Chin, TJ.
