Camera Elevation Estimation from a Single Mountain Landscape Photograph
This work addresses the problem of camera elevation estimation from a single photograph in an outdoor environment. We introduce a new benchmark dataset of one-hundred thousand images with annotated camera elevation called Alps100K. We propose and experimentally evaluate two automatic data-driven approaches to camera elevation estimation: one based on convolutional neural networks, the other on local features. To compare the proposed methods to human performance, an experiment with 100 subjects is conducted. The experimental results show that both proposed approaches outperform humans and that the best result is achieved by their combination.

Universal features of mountain ridge networks on Earth
Compared to the heavily studied surface drainage systems, the mountain ridge systems have been a subject of less attention even on the empirical level, despite the fact that their structure is richer. To reduce this defi…

In this paper we study the problem of estimating snow cover in mountainous regions, that is, the spatial extent of the earth surface covered by snow. We argue that publicly available visual content, in the form of user g…
Using satellite image classification and digital terrain modelling to assess forest species distribution on mountain slopes.A case study in Varatec Forest District
The relation between ecological conditions and geomorphological factors is considered the basis for species distribution in Romania. In this context, the location of each species within parts of the mountain slopes is di…
