HARMONIOUS meets StoolTechnologies
We had the great pleasure to meet, during our COST Action – HARMONIOUS General Assembly in Debrecen, the StoolTechnologies that has developed a new UAS with a payload of about 70kg and a fly autonomy…
Estimation of soil moisture from UAS platforms using RGB and thermal imaging sensors in arid and semi-arid regions
Soil moisture (SM) is a connective hydrological variable between the Earth’s surface and atmosphere and affects various climatological processes. Surface soil moisture (SSM) is a key component for addressing energy…
Analysis of Imagery – Image Sequences Processing
Measuring object displacement and deformation in image sequences is an important task in remote sensing, photogrammetry and computer vision and a vast number of approaches have been introduced. In the…

RECONTRUCTION OF THE DATABASE OF THE RAINFALL ANNUAL MAXIMA IN CAMPANIA REGION
In recent years, extreme rainfall events are increasing both in number and intensity, but it is hard to identify specific trends and dynamics at regional level due to the strong…
8th Galileo Conference in Naples (Italy)
Considering this year’s meeting situation, the organizing team has decided it is necessary to post-pone the event by one year to ensure for all participants a successful, safe on-site meeting…
Trend of Annual Maximum Rainfall in Campania Region (Southern Italy)
Extreme rainfall events are increasing in both number and intensity at global scale; however, it is hard to quantify the impact of climate change at local scale given the strong…
In Situ Observation-Constrained Global Surface Soil Moisture Using Random Forest Model
The inherent biases of different long-term gridded surface soil moisture (SSM) products, unconstrained by the in situ observations, implies different spatio-temporal patterns. In this study, the Random Forest (RF) model…
Call for Abstract EWaS5
University of Naples Federico II and University of Thessaly are organizing the 5th EWaS (Efficient Water Systems) International Conference on “Water Security and Safety Management: emerging threats or new challenges? Moving from Therapy and…
Delineation of flood-prone areas in cliffed coastal regions through a procedure based on the geomorphic flood index
The geomorphic flood index (GFI) method provides a good representation of flood-prone areas. However, the method does not account for floodwater transfers in undefined interbasins (UIBs), which represent intercluded small…
3D Models of the Cultural Heritage
UAS-based surveys and structure from motion (SfM) can lead to extraordinary and realistic 3D models to preserve our cultural heritage. In our recent applications, our members are developing new strategies…
Planning the future of Harmonious
The Department of Topography and Cartography of the Technical University of Madrid hosted our work group meeting of COST Action – HARMONIOUS from 27 up to the 30 of October. During this…
A comparison of tools and techniques for stabilising unmanned aerial system (UAS) imagery for surface flow observations
While the availability and affordability of unmanned aerial systems (UASs) has led to the rapid development of remote sensing applications in hydrology and hydrometry, uncertainties related to such measurements must…
