Estimating the density of urban trees in 1890s Leeds and Edinburgh using object detection on historical maps
We present a new end-to-end methodology for extracting symbols from historical maps and demonstrate an application of the method to extract details of the urban forests of Leeds and Edinburgh in the UK using Ordnance Survey maps from the 1890s. The methods presented allow tree symbols on 1:500 scale maps to be efficiently extracted, with our object detection model achieving an F 1 -score of 0.945. The results for each city are presented on the Na…

I went over and took my leak, being careful not to dribble on myself but not caring if I pissed on the floor or on the wall. My pants were tight and faded--a pair of Levi's I stole off some half-cocked big shot one night when I had a fe…
