Have you ever looked up at the sky and wondered what’s up there? In today’s world, the answer is more than just stars and planets. Satellites, both commercial and government-owned, are circling the Earth and capturing images of everything from natural disasters to your backyard. Satellites are essential to our modern world, providing us with

Prior to this change, researchers could access a large volume of tweets and associated metadata through Twitter’s API for free. This data was often used for research in various fields, including social science, marketing, and computer science, among others. Researchers could use this data to analyze patterns in public opinion, track the spread of misinformation,

We started using a novel design method for landscape and park design using algorithms and simulations to explore different design options. We discussed parametric design in previous posts from software angle. Here we show several advantages in a specific LA perspective: The method uses a hybrid of generative and parametric design, in which we simulate

Everyone talks about AI in language, art and even a conceptual space, but we can generate and model service space for humans using a more conservative parametric design approach. Generative design is a framework for combining digital computation and human creativity to achieve results that would not otherwise be possible. It involves integrating a rule-based

Rhinoceros is a leader in design’s 3D industry. Grasshopper is mainly contributing to the creation processes around the globe. Ladybug, for her, supporting Grasshopper is a source of joy, and you can see her everywhere around him, of course with Rhinoceros companionship! What’s going on? What’s behind this? What are animals, specifically insects, too, doing

The global biodiversity data aggregator GBIF holds just above 440,000 records for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia across all species, genera and administrative regions. Does this reflect the status of living organisms in terms of abundance and diversity? Also, a large part of the Arabian Peninsula is hyper-arid; it is climatic and environmentally diverse it

We report on the tree, and vegetation detection in “no tree, no me” and also describe ambitions to detect canopy and individual trees. Recently, advances were made in ‘vulgarising’ deep learning and making it accessible in an applied urban planning and ecology context. DeepForest, a python package for predicting individual tree crowns from RGB imagery,

Similar to biological evolution, technological evolution never stops. But the drivers are different, very different. Since the metaverse became part of the mainstream media and technology discussion we have all heard about play to earn. Spending time in gaming apps is not only fun but can earn virtual money or redeemable NFTs. This has created

We communicate all the time and have acquired a system of communication tools, a set of symbols such as sounds, gestures or written characters or symbols. That is the coarse definition of language. It is said that language is species-specific to humans and aided the development of civilisation as writing permits inter-generational unbiased transmission of

Greening initiatives are sprouting all around the middle east, with very ambitions visions (https://www.greeninitiatives.gov.sa/). But how to measure progress? Vegetation mapping is conducted with different levels of detail and to answer specific questions in urban, agricultural and natural contexts. Methods vary from vegetation indexes of spectral bands in satellite data through more complex machine learning
