The current status of mangroves along the Kenyan coast: a case study of Mida Creek mangroves based on remote sensing
P. O. Gang,J. L. Agatsiva +1 more
TL;DR: Mangroves form a unique ecosystem of limited extent covering an area of about 53 000 ha along the Kenyan coast which need protection from overexploitation as discussed by the authors, but the information on the areal extent and status of these mangroves is limited and makes their protection and management difficult.

Deep point embedding for urban classification using ALS point clouds: A new perspective from local to global
TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel method for obtaining semantic labels of airborne laser scanning (ALS) point clouds involving the embedding of local context information for each point with multi-scale deep learning, nonlinear manifold learning for feature dimension reduction, and global graph-based optimization for refining the classification results.
