Mapping artificial drainage on Irish Raised bogs using very high-resolution aerial imagery and deep learning methods

Date:

This presentation showcased the development of deep learning approaches for mapping artificial drainage networks in Irish raised bog peatlands using very high-resolution aerial imagery.

Research Focus

  • Application of semantic segmentation for environmental monitoring
  • Processing of national-scale aerial imagery datasets
  • Conservation applications for peatland management
  • Integration of AI/ML with geospatial analysis

Impact

The research provides essential spatial data for peatland conservation policy and supports national-scale environmental monitoring efforts in Ireland.
