SLIDO-4.5 is an Esri ArcGIS version 10.7 file geodatabase which can be downloaded here: https://www.oregon.gov/dogami/slido/Pages/data.aspx The geodatabase contains two feature datasets (a group of datasets within the geodatabase) containing six feature classes total, as well as two raster data sets, one individual table, and two individual feature classes. The original studies vary widely in scale, scope and focus which is reflected in the wide range of accuracy, detail, and completeness with which landslides are mapped. In the future, we propose a continuous update of SLIDO. These updates should take place: 1) each time DOGAMI publishes a new GIS dataset that contains landslide inventory or susceptibility data or 2) at the end of each winter season, a common time for landslide occurrences in Oregon, which will include recent historic landslide point data. In order to keep track of the updates, we will use a primary release number such as Release 4.0 along with a decimal number identifying the update such as 4.5.

The datasets introduced in Chapter 6 of my PhD thesis are below. See the thesis for more details. If you use any of these datasets for research purposes you should use the following citation in any resulting publications:

The Water Framework Directive (WFD) sets out the basic principles for sustainable water policy. Its purpose is to establish a framework for the protection of inland surface waters, transitional waters, coastal waters and groundwater. The WFD aims to achieve good water status. The body of water is the elementary territorial division of aquatic environments intended to be the WFD assessment unit. A reference for water bodies is established for all waters in the Seine Normandy basin. It allows the development of the WFD management plan to achieve good water status.

This data concerns the Master Plan for Water Management 2022-027 (SDAGE) of the Seine Normandy Basin. It lists the surface water bodies: river body, transitional water body, coastal water body, body of water body water body

A river water body is a distinct and significant part of surface waters such as a river, river or canal, part of a river, river or canal. A transitional water body is a distinct and significant part of surface waters located near the mouths of rivers or rivers, which are partly salty because of their proximity to coastal waters but which remain fundamentally influenced by fresh water currents. A coastal water body is a distinct and significant part of the surface waters between the baseline used to measure the breadth of territorial waters and a distance of one nautical mile. A body of water body of water is a distinct and significant part of surface waters such as a lake, a reservoir.

This is a general reference map of Canada and surrounding countries. The representation of political features on this map does not necessarily reflect the position of the Government of Canada on international issues of recognition, sovereignty or jurisdiction. Political status is as of 2009.

We have developed ProjecTILs, a computational approach to project new data sets into a reference map of T cells, enabling their direct comparison in a stable, annotated system of coordinates. Because new cells are embedded in the same space of the reference, ProjecTILs enables the classification of query cells into annotated, discrete states, but also over a continuous space of intermediate states. By comparing multiple samples over the same map, and across alternative embeddings, the method allows exploring the effect of cellular perturbations (e.g. as the result of therapy or genetic engineering) and identifying genetic programs significantly altered in the query compared to a control set or to the reference map. We illustrate the projection of several data sets from recent publications over two cross-study murine T cell reference atlases: the first describing tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes (TILs), the second characterizing acute and chronic viral infection.To construct the reference TIL atlas, we obtained single-cell gene expression matrices from the following GEO entries: GSE124691, GSE116390, GSE121478, GSE86028; and entry E-MTAB-7919 from Array-Express. Data from GSE124691 contained samples from tumor and from tumor-draining lymph nodes, and were therefore treated as two separate datasets. For the TIL projection examples (OVA Tet+, miR-155 KO and Regnase-KO), we obtained the gene expression counts from entries GSE122713, GSE121478 and GSE137015, respectively.Prior to dataset integration, single-cell data from individual studies were filtered using TILPRED-1.0 (https://github.com/carmonalab/TILPRED), which removes cells not enriched in T cell markers (e.g. Cd2, Cd3d, Cd3e, Cd3g, Cd4, Cd8a, Cd8b1) and cells enriched in non T cell genes (e.g. Spi1, Fcer1g, Csf1r, Cd19). Dataset integration was performed using STACAS (https://github.com/carmonalab/STACAS), a batch-correction algorithm based on Seurat 3. For the TIL reference map, we specified 600 variable genes per dataset, excluding cell cycling genes, mitochondrial, ribosomal and non-coding genes, as well as genes expressed in less than 0.1% or more than 90% of the cells of a given dataset. For integration, a total of 800 variable genes were derived as the intersection of the 600 variable genes of individual datasets, prioritizing genes found in multiple datasets and, in case of draws, those derived from the largest datasets. We determined pairwise dataset anchors using STACAS with default parameters, and filtered anchors using an anchor score threshold of 0.8. Integration was performed using the IntegrateData function in Seurat3, providing the anchor set determined by STACAS, and a custom integration tree to initiate alignment from the largest and most heterogeneous datasets.Next, we performed unsupervised clustering of the integrated cell embeddings using the Shared Nearest Neighbor (SNN) clustering method implemented in Seurat 3 with parameters {resolution=0.6, reduction=”umap”, k.param=20}. We then manually annotated individual clusters (merging clusters when necessary) based on several criteria: i) average expression of key marker genes in individual clusters; ii) gradients of gene expression over the UMAP representation of the reference map; iii) gene-set enrichment analysis to determine over- and under- expressed genes per cluster using MAST. In order to have access to predictive methods for UMAP, we recomputed PCA and UMAP embeddings independently of Seurat3 using respectively the prcomp function from basic R package “stats”, and the “umap” R package (https://github.com/tkonopka/umap).

For the purposes of training AI-based models to identify (map) road features in rural/remote tropical regions on the basis of true-colour satellite imagery, and subsequently testing the accuracy of these AI-derived road maps, we produced a dataset of 8904 satellite image ‘tiles’ and their corresponding known road features across Equatorial Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea). Methods

1. INPUT 200 SATELLITE IMAGES

The main dataset shared here was derived from a set of 200 input satellite images, also provided here. These 200 images are effectively ‘screenshots’ (i.e., reduced-resolution copies) of high-resolution true-colour satellite imagery (~0.5-1m pixel resolution) observed using the Elvis Elevation and Depth spatial data portal (https://elevation.fsdf.org.au/), which here is functionally equivalent to the more familiar Google Earth. Each of these original images was initially acquired at a resolution of 1920x886 pixels. Actual image resolution was coarser than the native high-resolution imagery. Visual inspection of these 200 images suggests a pixel resolution of ~5 meters, given the number of pixels required to span features of familiar scale, such as roads and roofs, as well as the ready discrimination of specific land uses, vegetation types, etc. These 200 images generally spanned either forest-agricultural mosaics or intact forest landscapes with limited human intervention. Sloan et al. (2023) present a map indicating the various areas of Equatorial Asia from which these images were sourced.
IMAGE NAMING CONVENTION A common naming convention applies to satellite images’ file names: XX##.png where:

XX – denotes the geographical region / major island of Equatorial Asia of the image, as follows: ‘bo’ (Borneo), ‘su’ (Sumatra), ‘sl’ (Sulawesi), ‘pn’ (Papua New Guinea), ‘jv’ (java), ‘ng’ (New Guinea [i.e., Papua and West Papua provinces of Indonesia])

– denotes the ith image for a given geographical region / major island amongst the original 200 images, e.g., bo1, bo2, bo3…

1. INTERPRETING ROAD FEATURES IN THE IMAGES For each of the 200 input satellite images, its road was visually interpreted and manually digitized to create a reference image dataset by which to train, validate, and test AI road-mapping models, as detailed in Sloan et al. (2023). The reference dataset of road features was digitized using the ‘pen tool’ in Adobe Photoshop. The pen’s ‘width’ was held constant over varying scales of observation (i.e., image ‘zoom’) during digitization. Consequently, at relatively small scales at least, digitized road features likely incorporate vegetation immediately bordering roads. The resultant binary (Road / Not Road) reference images were saved as PNG images with the same image dimensions as the original 200 images.

2. IMAGE TILES AND REFERENCE DATA FOR MODEL DEVELOPMENT

The 200 satellite images and the corresponding 200 road-reference images were both subdivided (aka ‘sliced’) into thousands of smaller image ‘tiles’ of 256x256 pixels each. Subsequent to image subdivision, subdivided images were also rotated by 90, 180, or 270 degrees to create additional, complementary image tiles for model development. In total, 8904 image tiles resulted from image subdivision and rotation. These 8904 image tiles are the main data of interest disseminated here. Each image tile entails the true-colour satellite image (256x256 pixels) and a corresponding binary road reference image (Road / Not Road).
Of these 8904 image tiles, Sloan et al. (2023) randomly selected 80% for model training (during which a model ‘learns’ to recognize road features in the input imagery), 10% for model validation (during which model parameters are iteratively refined), and 10% for final model testing (during which the final accuracy of the output road map is assessed). Here we present these data in two folders accordingly:

'Training’ – contains 7124 image tiles used for model training in Sloan et al. (2023), i.e., 80% of the original pool of 8904 image tiles. ‘Testing’– contains 1780 image tiles used for model validation and model testing in Sloan et al. (2023), i.e., 20% of the original pool of 8904 image tiles, being the combined set of image tiles for model validation and testing in Sloan et al. (2023).

IMAGE TILE NAMING CONVENTION A common naming convention applies to image tiles’ directories and file names, in both the ‘training’ and ‘testing’ folders: XX##_A_B_C_DrotDDD where

XX – denotes the geographical region / major island of Equatorial Asia of the original input 1920x886 pixel image, as follows: ‘bo’ (Borneo), ‘su’ (Sumatra), ‘sl’ (Sulawesi), ‘pn’ (Papua New Guinea), ‘jv’ (java), ‘ng’ (New Guinea [i.e., Papua and West Papua provinces of Indonesia])

– denotes the ith image for a given geographical region / major island amongst the original 200 images, e.g., bo1, bo2, bo3…

A, B, C and D – can all be ignored. These values, which are one of 0, 256, 512, 768, 1024, 1280, 1536, and 1792, are effectively ‘pixel coordinates’ in the corresponding original 1920x886-pixel input image. They were recorded within the names of image tiles’ sub-directories and file names merely to ensure that names/directory were uniquely named)

rot – implies an image rotation. Not all image tiles are rotated, so ‘rot’ will appear only occasionally.

DDD – denotes the degree of image-tile rotation, e.g., 90, 180, 270. Not all image tiles are rotated, so ‘DD’ will appear only occasionally.

Note that the designator ‘XX##’ is directly equivalent to the filenames of the corresponding 1920x886-pixel input satellite images, detailed above. Therefore, each image tiles can be ‘matched’ with its parent full-scale satellite image. For example, in the ‘training’ folder, the subdirectory ‘Bo12_0_0_256_256’ indicates that its image tile therein (also named ‘Bo12_0_0_256_256’) would have been sourced from the full-scale image ‘Bo12.png’.

The High Resolution Digital Elevation Model (HRDEM) product is derived from airborne LiDAR data (mainly in the south) and satellite images in the north. The complete coverage of the Canadian territory is gradually being established. It includes a Digital Terrain Model (DTM), a Digital Surface Model (DSM) and other derived data. For DTM datasets, derived data available are slope, aspect, shaded relief, color relief and color shaded relief maps and for DSM datasets, derived data available are shaded relief, color relief and color shaded relief maps. The productive forest line is used to separate the northern and the southern parts of the country. This line is approximate and may change based on requirements. In the southern part of the country (south of the productive forest line), DTM and DSM datasets are generated from airborne LiDAR data. They are offered at a 1 m or 2 m resolution and projected to the UTM NAD83 (CSRS) coordinate system and the corresponding zones. The datasets at a 1 m resolution cover an area of 10 km x 10 km while datasets at a 2 m resolution cover an area of 20 km by 20 km. In the northern part of the country (north of the productive forest line), due to the low density of vegetation and infrastructure, only DSM datasets are generally generated. Most of these datasets have optical digital images as their source data. They are generated at a 2 m resolution using the Polar Stereographic North coordinate system referenced to WGS84 horizontal datum or UTM NAD83 (CSRS) coordinate system. Each dataset covers an area of 50 km by 50 km. For some locations in the north, DSM and DTM datasets can also be generated from airborne LiDAR data. In this case, these products will be generated with the same specifications as those generated from airborne LiDAR in the southern part of the country. The HRDEM product is referenced to the Canadian Geodetic Vertical Datum of 2013 (CGVD2013), which is now the reference standard for heights across Canada. Source data for HRDEM datasets is acquired through multiple projects with different partners. Since data is being acquired by project, there is no integration or edgematching done between projects. The tiles are aligned within each project. The product High Resolution Digital Elevation Model (HRDEM) is part of the CanElevation Series created in support to the National Elevation Data Strategy implemented by NRCan. Collaboration is a key factor to the success of the National Elevation Data Strategy. Refer to the “Supporting Document” section to access the list of the different partners including links to their respective data.

The INDIGO Change Detection Reference Dataset

Description

This graffiti-centred change detection dataset was developed in the context of INDIGO, a research project focusing on the documentation, analysis and dissemination of graffiti along Vienna's Donaukanal. The dataset aims to support the development and assessment of change detection algorithms.

The dataset was collected from a test site approximately 50 meters in length along Vienna's Donaukanal during 11 days between 2022/10/21 and 2022/12/01. Various cameras with different settings were used, resulting in a total of 29 data collection sessions or "epochs" (see "EpochIDs.jpg" for details). Each epoch contains 17 images generated from 29 distinct 3D models with different textures. In total, the dataset comprises 6,902 unique image pairs, along with corresponding reference change maps. Additionally, exclusion masks are provided to ignore parts of the scene that might be irrelevant, such as the background.

To summarise, the dataset, labelled as "Data.zip," includes the following:

• Synthetic Images: These are colour images created within Agisoft Metashape Professional 1.8.4, generated by rendering views from 17 artificial cameras observing 29 differently textured versions of the same 3D surface model.
• Change Maps: Binary images that were manually and programmatically generated, using a Python script, from two synthetic graffiti images. These maps highlight the areas where changes have occurred.
• Exclusion Masks: Binary images are manually created from synthetic graffiti images to identify "no data" areas or irrelevant ground pixels.

Image Acquisition

Image acquisition involved the use of two different camera setups. The first two datasets (ID 1 and 2; cf. "EpochIDs.jpg") were obtained using a Nikon Z 7II camera with a pixel count of 45.4 MP, paired with a Nikon NIKKOR Z 20 mm lens. For the remaining image datasets (ID 3-29), a triple GoPro setup was employed. This triple setup featured three GoPro cameras, comprising two GoPro HERO 10 cameras and one GoPro HERO 11, all securely mounted within a frame. This triple-camera setup was utilised on nine different days with varying camera settings, resulting in the acquisition of 27 image datasets in total (nine days with three datasets each).

Data Structure

The "Data.zip" file contains two subfolders:

• 1_ImagesAndChangeMaps: This folder contains the primary dataset. Each subfolder corresponds to a specific epoch. Within each epoch folder resides a subfolder for every other epoch with which a distinct epoch pair can be created. It is important to note that the pairs "Epoch Y and Epoch Z" are equivalent to "Epoch Z and Epoch Y", so the latter combinations are not included in this dataset. Each sub-subfolder, organised by epoch, contains 17 more subfolders, which hold the image data. These subfolders consist of:
  • Two synthetic images rendered from the same synthetic camera ("X_Y.jpg" and "X_Z.jpg")
  • The corresponding binary reference change map depicting the graffiti-related differences between the two images ("X_YZ.png"). Black areas denote new graffiti (i.e. "change"), and white denotes "no change". "DataStructure.png" provides a visual explanation concerning the creation of the dataset.
    
    The filenames follow the following pattern:
    • X - Is the ID number of the synthetic camera. In total, 17 synthetic cameras were placed along the test site
    • Y - Corresponds to the reference epoch (i.e. the "older epoch")
    • Z - Corresponds to the "new epoch"
      
• 2_ExclusionMasks: This folder contains the binary exclusion masks. They were manually created from synthetic graffiti images and identify "no data" areas or areas considered irrelevant, such as "ground pixels". Two exclusion masks were generated for each of the 17 synthetic cameras:
  • "groundMasks": depict ground pixels which are usually irrelevant for the detection of graffiti
  • "noDataMasks": depict "background" for which no data is available.
    

A detailed dataset description (including detailed explanations of the data creation) is part of a journal paper currently in preparation. The paper will be linked here for further clarification as soon as it is available.

The USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) service from The National Map is a comprehensive set of digital spatial data that encodes information about naturally occurring and constructed bodies of surface water (lakes, ponds, and reservoirs), paths through which water flows (canals, ditches, streams, and rivers), and related entities such as point features (springs, wells, stream gages, and dams). The information encoded about these features includes classification and other characteristics, delineation, geographic name, position and related measures, a "reach code" through which other information can be related to the NHD, and the direction of water flow. The network of reach codes delineating water and transported material flow allows users to trace movement in upstream and downstream directions. In addition to this geographic information, the dataset contains metadata that supports the exchange of future updates and improvements to the data. The NHD is available nationwide in two seamless datasets, one based on 1:24,000 (or larger) scale and referred to as high resolution NHD, and the other based on 1:100,000 scale and referred to as medium resolution NHD. The NHD from The National Map supports many applications, such as making maps, geocoding observations, flow modeling, data maintenance, and stewardship. The NHD is commonly combined with other data themes, such as boundaries, elevation, structures, and transportation, to produce general reference base maps. The National Map download client allows free downloads of public domain NHD data in either Esri File Geodatabase or Shapefile formats. For additional information on the NHD, go to https://nhd.usgs.gov/index.html.
