Road Extraction with Satellite Images and Partial Road Maps
Road extraction is a process of automatically generating road maps mainly
from satellite images. Existing models all target to generate roads from the
scratch despite that a large quantity of road maps, though incomplete, are
publicly available (e.g. those from OpenStreetMap) and can help with road
extraction. In this paper, we propose to conduct road extraction based on
satellite images and partial road maps, which is new. We then propose a
two-branch Partial to Complete Network (P2CNet) for the task, which has two
prominent components: Gated Self-Attention Module (GSAM) and Missing Part (MP)
loss. GSAM leverages a channel-wise self-attention module and a gate module to
capture long-range semantics, filter out useless information, and better fuse
the features from two branches. MP loss is derived from the partial road maps,
trying to give more attention to the road pixels that do not exist in partial
road maps. Extensive experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness
of our model, e.g. P2CNet achieves state-of-the-art performance with the IoU
scores of 70.71% and 75.52%, respectively, on the SpaceNet and OSM datasets.Comment: This paper has been accepted by IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and

Understanding the Use of Heterogenous Data in Tackling Urban Flooding: An Integrative Literature Review
Data-driven approaches to urban flooding management require a comprehensive understanding of how heterogenous data are leveraged in tackling this problem. In this paper, we conduct an integrative review of related studies, and this is structured based on two angles: tasks and data. From the selected 69 articles on this topic, diverse tasks in tackling urban flooding are identified and categorized into eight categories, and heterogeneous data are summarized by their content type and source into eight categories. The links between tasks and data are identified by synthesizing what data are used to support the tasks in the studies. The task–data links are a many-to-many relationship in the sense that one particular data category supports multiple tasks, and one particular task uses data from multiple categories. The future research opportunities are also discussed based on our observations. This paper serves a signpost for researchers who wish to gain an overview of the heterogenous data and their use in this field and lays a foundation for studies that aim to develop a data-driven approach to tackle urban flooding

A History of Materials and Technologies Development
The purpose of the book is to provide the students with the text that presents an introductory knowledge about the development of materials and technologies and includes the most commonly available information on human development. The idea of the publication has been generated referring to the materials taken from the organic and non-organic evolution of nature. The suggested texts might be found a purposeful tool for the University students proceeding with studying engineering due to the fact that all subjects in this particular field more or less have to cover the history and development of the studied object. It is expected that studying different materials and technologies will help the students with a better understanding of driving forces, positive and negative consequences of technological development, etc
