Title: AI-Enabled Remote Sensing for the Built and Natural Environment
Abstract: An overview of integrating AI and remote sensing to characterize the built and natural environment. High-resolution datasets from uncrewed aerial systems illustrate data structure and analysis needs, alongside emerging Geo-AI frameworks. Applications in forest damage assessment (TreEAID) and rail infrastructure inspection (RailAID) demonstrate scalable, data-driven decision-making.
