Featured Paper: Deep learning-enhanced detection of road culverts in high-resolution digital elevation models: Improving stream network accuracy in Sweden
2025-01-27
The new Climate AI Nordics Featured Paper is “Deep learning-enhanced detection of road culverts in high-resolution digital elevation models: Improving stream network accuracy in Sweden” by William Lidberg. In this work, Lidberg combines LiDAR data and aerial imagery with deep learning to detect 87 % of all road culverts in Sweden. These culverts are in turn used to increase the accuracy of maps featuring small watercourses.
