Detecting pitfall systems in the Suomenselkä watershed, Finland, with airborne laser scanning and artificial intelligence
Abstract This article examines the use of airborne laser scanning data and semi-automatic detection algorithms to identify pitfall sites in the northern part of the Suomenselkä watershed in Finland. The results show that new sites can be effectively detected with these methods, even in areas recentl...
