Mapping Permanent Gullies in an Agricultural Area Using Satellite Images: Efficacy of Machine Learning Algorithms

Mapping Permanent Gullies in an Agricultural Area Using Satellite Images: Efficacy of Machine Learning Algorithms

Gullies are responsible for detaching massive volumes of productive soil, dissecting natural landscape and causing damages to infrastructure. Despite existing research, the gravity of the gully erosion problem underscores the urgent need for accurate mapping of gullies, a first but essential step to...
