    3D Scene Reconstruction with Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) Considering Dynamic Illumination Conditions
    (Anhalt University of Applied Sciences, 2023) Kolodiazhna, Olena; Savin, Volodymyr; Uss, Mykhailo; Kussul, Nataliia
    This paper addresses the problem of novel view synthesis using Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) for scenes with dynamic illumination. NeRF training utilizes photometric consistency loss that is pixel-wise consistency between a set of scene images and intensity values rendered by NeRF. For reflective surfaces, image intensity depends on viewing angle and this effect is taken into account by using ray direction as NeRF input. For scenes with dynamic illumination, image intensity depends not only on position and viewing direction but also on time. We show that this factor affects NeRF training with standard photometric loss function effectively decreasing quality of both image and depth rendering. To cope with this problem, we propose to add time as additional NeRF input. Experiments on ScanNet dataset demonstrate that NeRF with modified input outperforms original model version and renders more consistent 3D structures. Results of this study could be used to improve quality of training data augmentation for depth prediction models (e.g. depth-from-stereo models) for scenes with non-static illumination.

    A generalized model for mapping sunflower areas using Sentinel-1 SAR data
    (Elsevier, 2024) Qadir, Abdul; Skakun, Sergii; Kussul, Nataliia; Shelestov, Andrii; Becker-Reshef, Inbal
    Existing crop mapping models, rely heavily on reference (calibration) data obtained from remote sensing observations. However, the transferability of such models in space and time, without the need for additional extensive datasets remains a significant challenge. There is still a large gap in developing generalized classification models capable of mapping specific or multiple crops with minimal calibration data. In this study, we present a generalized automatic approach for sunflower mapping at 20-m spatial resolution, using the C-band Sentinel-1 (S1) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data driven by previously developed phenological metrics. These metrics characterize the directional behavior of the sunflower head, capturing distinct backscattering responses in SAR data acquired from ascending and descending orbits. Specifically, we utilize SAR-derived backscatter values in VH and VV polarization, as well as their ratio VH/VV, as input features to a random forest classifier that was calibrated for the year 2022 in Ukraine. This model is further directly applied to selected sites for multiple years in Ukraine (generalization in time) and other major sunflower producing countries (generalization in space): Ukraine for 2018–2020, and Hungary, France, Russia and USA for 2018. Our results reveal that the model based on features acquired from descending orbits outperforms its ascending orbit counterpart because of the directional behavior of sunflower: user's accuracy (UA) of 96%, producer's accuracy (PA) of 97% and F-score of 97% (descending) compared to UA of 90%, PA of 89% and F-score of 90% (ascending). When generalized to other years and countries, our model achieves an F-score exceeding 77% for all cases, with the highest F-scores (>91%) observed in Ukraine and Russia sites and the lowest (77%) for the US site. We further utilize the produced maps (pixel-based) for the selected regions and years to estimate sunflower planted areas using a statistical sampling-based approach. Our estimates yield the relative root mean square error (RMSE) as 19.7% of the mean area, when compared to the reference data from official statistics and reference maps. These findings demonstrate the robustness of our proposed approach across space and time in generating accurate sunflower maps, its ability to mitigate cloud cover issues through spaceborne SAR data acquisitions, and its potential for obtaining estimates of sunflower planted areas. This research emphasizes the importance of developing interpretable and domain-specific machine learning models that can be readily extended to multiple geographical regions with little to no labelled datasets.

    A multimodal dataset for forest damage detection and machine learning
    (Assembled by Conference Management Services, Inc., 2024) Yailymova, Hanna; Yailymov, Bohdan; Salii, Yevhenii; Kuzin, Volodymyr; Shelestov, Andrii; Kussul, Nataliia
    Accurately recognizing areas of forest damage is crucial for planning, monitoring recovery processes, and evaluating environmental impact following catastrophic events. The widespread accessibility of satellite data, coupled with the ongoing advancement of machine and deep learning techniques, as well as computer vision methods, renders the implementation of these approaches in the automatic detection of damaged forest areas highly difficult. Nevertheless, a significant challenge in this regard is the scarcity of labeled data. The purpose of this article is to provide a useful and reliable dataset for territory of Ukraine for scientists, conservationists, foresters and other stakeholders involved in monitoring forest damage and its consequences for forest ecosystems and their services. The created dataset contains 18 locations with a time series of satellite images with a resolution of up to 10 m per pixel across Ukraine, as well as weather information. The data was collected from the Copernicus Sentinel-1,2 satellite missions as well as based on ERA-5 weather information.

    Air Quality as Proxy for Assesment of Economic Activity
    (2023) Yailymova, Hanna; Kolotii, Andrii; Kussul, Nataliia; Shelestov, Andrii
    In Ukraine most of citizens and economic activity are concentrated over urban city centers and city functional areas. Thus, Air Quality and, in particular, levels of fine particulate matter (e.g., PM2.5 and PM 10 ) over cities can be a proxy for assessment of economic activity and density of city populations. Since the russia invasion to Ukraine started on 24 of February 2022 according to UNHCR (the UN Refugee Agency) 8 million refugees from Ukraine have now been registered across the Europe. Almost 7 million more are displaced within the country. On the other hand, there is no official statistics from national statistical service showing current influence of invasion on city economic activity or inhabitants amount. Thus, such a proxy can be used to see current situation by analyzing of particulate matter time series. In this work we compare averaged annual cumulated PM2.5 for 2018–2021 years with values for 2022 and estimate the correlation them with publicly available statistics on migration to see some relations. Global Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicator 11.6.2, “Annual mean levels of fine particulate in cities (population weighted)” is being extended for 2022 and compared with previous years.

    Assessing damage to agricultural fields from military actions in Ukraine: An integrated approach using statistical indicators and machine learning
    (2023) Kussul, Nataliia; Drozd, Sofiia; Yailymova, Hanna; Shelestov, Andrii; Lemoine, Guido; Deininger, Klaus
    The ongoing full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine has led to widespread damage of agricultural lands, jeopardizing global food security. Timely detection of impacted fields enables quantification of production losses, guiding recovery policies and monitoring military actions. This study presents a robust methodology to automatically identify agricultural areas damaged by wartime ground activities using free Sentinel-2 satellite data. The 10 m resolution spectral bands and vegetation indices are leveraged, alongside their statistical metrics over time, as inputs to a Random Forest classifier. The algorithm efficiently pinpoints damaged fields, with accuracy metrics around 0.85. Subsequent anomaly detection delineates damages within the fields by combining spectral bands and indices. Applying the methodology over 22 biweekly periods in 2022, approximately 500 thousand ha of cropland across 10 regions of Ukraine were classified as damaged, with the most significant impacts occurring from March to September. The algorithm provides updated damage information despite cloud cover and vegetation shifts. The approach demonstrates the efficacy of automated satellite monitoring to assess agricultural impacts of military actions, supporting recovery analysis and documentation of war crimes.

    Assessing Ukraine`s solar power potential: a comprehensive analysis using satellite data and fuzzy logic
    (Assembled by Conference Management Services, Inc., 2024) Drozd, Sofiia; Kussul, Nataliia
    This study evaluates the land suitability for the placement of solar power stations in Ukraine, utilizing satellite data on climate factors (Global Horizontal Irradiance, temperature, precipitation, wind speed), topography (elevation, slope), and land use. Fuzzy logic, pairwise comparisons, and weighted linear combination methods were utilized to develop a high-resolution (100 m) land suitability map for the installation of solar power plants. The results show that more than half (54.5%) of Ukraine’s territory has a high suitability score (exceeding 0.65) for solar power stations, particularly in the southern and eastern regions, such as Odessa, Kherson, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhia, Donetsk, and Crimea. Only 10.68% of the land has a suitability score less than 0.6, and 18.18% is deemed absolutely unsuitable (with a score of 0, due to land cover), primarily located in the western and northern parts of the country. This indicates that Ukraine has significant potential for green energy production. The study provides an effective and useful tool for decision-making on the optimal location of solar power facilities in Ukraine.

    Assessing Ukrainian Territory Suitability for Solar Power Station Placement Using Satellite Data on Climate and Topography
    (IEEE, 2023) Kussul, Nataliia; Drozd, Sofiia
    This research aims to assess the suitability of Ukrainian territories for the placement of solar power stations using satellite data on climate and topographic characteristics. The suitability of the territories was determined using a weighted sum method, incorporating input parameters from climate maps sourced from ERA5- Land dataset, which included data on annual global horizontal solar irradiation (GHI), accumulated annual temperature above 25°C, average annual wind speed, and maps of accumulated annual precipitation. Additionally, topographic maps from the SRTM dataset were utilized, providing information on elevations, slopes, and terrain shading. Furthermore, data from Wikimapia on the locations of existing major solar power stations in Ukraine were used to verify the placement optimization. The results of the study revealed that the largest portion of the country (over 48%) exhibits moderate suitability scores (0.3-0.4). Favorable territories (suitability score above 0.3) outweigh unsuitable ones for solar power stations. The southern regions and the Crimean Peninsula offer the most favorable conditions for the placement of solar farms. Overall, all analyzed major solar power stations in Ukraine were located in optimal territories. Furthermore, it was found that certain regions such as Odessa, Poltava, Kharkiv, Zaporizhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, and Luhansk demonstrate good suitability scores (0.3-0.4), yet they are not fully exploited. These regions hold significant potential for the future construction of powerful and productive solar power stations.

    Cloud Platforms and Technologies for Big Satellite Data Processing
    (Springer, 2023) Kussul, Nataliia; Shelestov, Andrii; Yailymov, Bohdan
    This paper addresses the problem of processing large volumes of satellite data and compares different cloud platforms for potential solutions. Existing cloud platforms like Google Earth Engine, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and CREODIAS have been used to tackle this challenge. However, this study proposes an optimal pipeline for satellite data processing, taking into account the advantages and limitations of each platform. The specific focus is on solving machine learning problems using satellite data. In the experiment conducted, the effectiveness of each cloud platform was analyzed. It was found that cloud platforms offer benefits such as flexibility, access to computing resources, and parallel processing architectures, leading to increased productivity and cost reduction. CREODIAS, in particular, stands out due to its specialization in satellite data and easy access to various data types, along with tools for data searching and visualization. The experiment demonstrated that tasks, from data loading to classification, were executed fastest on CREODIAS resources. However, AWS performed data classification faster. The availability of its own internal data bucket was a significant advantage of CREODIAS, especially when considering ARD data. These findings contribute to the advancement of AI methodologies and have practical implications for solving satellite monitoring applications.

    Fire is one of the most common disturbances in natural ecosystems. The analysis of various sources of information (official and unofficial) about the fires in Ukraine (2019–2020) showed a lack of timely and reliable information. Satellite observation is of crucial importance to provide accurate, reliable, and timely information. This paper aims to modify the index of fire danger of a forest’s FWI by increasing its precision, based on the use of higher spatial resolution satellite data. A modification of the FWI method involves the utilization of the soil moisture deficit, in addition to the six subindices of the FWI system. In order to calculate the subindices values, weather data from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service were used. Soil moisture deficit is calculated using Sentinel-1 radar satellite data on the water saturation degree of the soil surface layer and geospatial parameters from the 3D Soil Hydraulic Database of Europe. The application of the proposed methodology using the specified satellite, weather, and geospatial data makes it possible to assess fire danger on a continental scale with a spatial resolution of 250 m, 1 km, and a daily temporal resolution. Validation of the proposed method for modifying the FWI system demonstrates an improvement in the precision and relevance of fire danger prediction.

    Flooded areas monitoring below the Kakhovka Dam based on machine learning and satellite data
    (Assembled by Conference Management Services, Inc., 2024) Yailymov, Bohdan; Yailymova, Hanna; Kussul, Nataliia; Shelestov, Andrii
    This study analyzed the flooding under the Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine using satellite remote sensing data after the dam was destroyed on June 6, 2023. Maps of the water bodies were created before and after the flooding disaster using Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, and Landsat-9 imagery. A random forest classifier was used to map the flooded areas. As of June 9, 2023, the total flooded area below the Kakhovka Dam was 47,330 hectares, impacting agricultural lands, forests, grasslands and human settlements. The flooding also affected areas along the Ingulets River, leading to inundation of croplands located close to the river banks which could impact water quality. The disappearance of water canals that were used for irrigation of croplands is also analyzed, showing the far-reaching agricultural impacts of this flooding event. This study demonstrates the utility of satellite remote sensing for rapid monitoring and quantification of the impacts from dam failure flooding disasters.
