EcoVision: AI-Powered Drone Imaging for Salt Marsh Vegetation Monitoring and Dominance Mapping

arXiv:2607. 06105v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-resolution RGB imagery acquired from low-altitude UAV surveys was processed through a modular pipeline incorporating transformer-based semantic segmentation, connected-component vegetation extraction, fine-grained species classification using a ConvNeXt architecture, and grid-based dominance scoring at 2x2m resolution.

GetNetUPAM: Ecologically Informed Nested Cross-Validation and Noise-Robust Attention for Marine Bioacoustic Monitoring

arXiv:2509. 04682v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deploying reliable bioacoustic monitoring systems requires models that generalize under high-noise, low-SNR conditions and evaluation protocols that expose deployment-relevant failure modes, gaps largely unaddressed in current UPAM practice.
