Digital humanities
A visionary report on the revitalization of the liberal arts tradition in the electronically inflected, design-driven, multimedia language of the twenty-first century. Digital_Humanities is a compact, game-changing report on the state of contemporary knowledge production. Answering the question “Whatis digital humanities?,” it provides an in-depth examination of an emerging field. This collaboratively authored and visually compelling volume explores methodologies and techniques unfamiliar to traditional modes of humanistic inquiry—including geospatial analysis, data mining, corpus linguistics, visualization, and simulation—to show their relevance for contemporary culture. Written by five leading practitioner-theorists whose varied backgrounds embody the intellectual and creative diversity of the field, Digital_Humanities is a vision statement for the future, an invitation to engage, and a critical tool for understanding the shape of new scholarship.

Digital Humanities Pedagogy
Academic institutions are starting to recognize the growing public interest in digital humanities research, and there is an increasing demand from students for formal training in its methods. Despite the pressure on practitioners to develop innovative courses, scholarship in this area has tended to focus on research methods, theories and results rather than critical pedagogy and the actual practice of teaching. The essays in this collection offer a timely intervention in digital humanities scholarship, bringing together established and emerging scholars from a variety of humanities disciplines across the world. The first section offers views on the practical realities of teaching digital humanities at undergraduate and graduate levels, presenting case studies and snapshots of the authors’ experiences alongside models for future courses and reflections on pedagogical successes and failures. The next section proposes strategies for teaching foundational digital humanities methods across a variety of scholarly disciplines, and the book concludes with wider debates about the place of digital humanities in the academy, from the field’s cultural assumptions and social obligations to its political visions. Digital Humanities Pedagogy broadens the ways in which both scholars and practitioners can think about this emerging discipline, ensuring its ongoing development, vitality and long-term sustainability.

Virtual Victorians : networks, connections, technologies
\"Virtual Victorians offers new ways of thinking about issues of representation, technology, and media change in nineteenth-century literary culture, with specific deference to the emerging field of the digital humanities. The opening section, 'Navigating Networks,' deals with digital resources and asks how they are shaping the field of Victorian studies; the second, 'Virtual Imaginings,' considers Victorian technologies of virtual experience. As a whole, this volume demonstrates that understanding the aspirations and anxieties that attended Victorian virtuality will illuminate contemporary scholarly practice--and vice versa\"--Provided by publisher.

Digital Humanities: Current Perspective, Practices, and Research
The field of Digital Humanities is becoming more exciting as the number of low-cost or free mobile and desktop applications flood the market allowing users to accomplish tasks that only a few years ago were either not possible or required complicated coding or high-end computing power. The range of these applications provides access to digital communications, advanced visualization, data storage and retrieval at unprecedented levels. Digital Humanists are incorporating these tools as part of our teaching, research, and creative expression. This research volume approaches the topic from a perspective that will be attractive to those just beginning, through the step by step guides to set up and use of a variety of tools with accompanying objectives, and to those who are more advanced, through more challenging applications and their use for teaching and research. Furthermore this text will be of interest to administrators or those sceptical about the Digital Humanities, as the essays will highlight studies and research by experts in the field while maintaining the particular perspective on literary studies and Digital Africana Studies. This volume includes an introduction to the Digital Humanities and chapters on The Social Web, Communications, Visualization and Collaboration.

Forschungsumgebungen in den Digital Humanities
Ausgangspunkt der Untersuchung ist die Frage, welche Vor- und Nachteile des informationstechnisch gestützten Arbeitens von Geisteswissenschaftler/inne/n gesehen werden – insbesondere im Bereich digitale Editionen. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Bedarfsaspekte, die in einer Interview-Studie erhoben und inhaltsanalytisch ausgewertet werden. Nutzerbedarfsforschung zu virtuellen Forschungsumgebungen, Werkzeugen und Datenbanken wurde in den digitalen Geisteswissenschaften bislang überhaupt nicht oder unzureichend betrieben – etwa durch Befragungen mit vorgegebenen Antwortmöglichkeiten, die bedeutende Anforderungsaspekte ausblenden. Die methodisch aufwändigere, offenere und transparentere Erhebung und Auswertung in dieser Studie beleuchtet das Bedarfsspektrum und seine Facetten umfassend. Dabei wird deutlich, dass nicht etwa einfach benutzbare Werkzeuge zentral sind, sondern dass digital vernetzte Inhalte und damit verbundene Möglichkeiten des Transfers und der Aushandlung von Wissen die entscheidenden Faktoren darstellen. Textuelle und diskursive digitale Strukturen bilden den thematischen Kern der Arbeit und werden aus editionsphilologischer, text- und diskurslinguistischer sowie informations- und wissen(schaft)stheoretischer Sicht analysiert.

Explainable identification and mapping of trees using UAV RGB image and deep learning
The identification and mapping of trees via remotely sensed data for application in forest management is an active area of research. Previously proposed methods using airborne and hyperspectral sensors can identify tree species with high accuracy but are costly and are thus unsuitable for small-scale forest managers. In this work, we constructed a machine vision system for tree identification and mapping using Red–Green–Blue (RGB) image taken by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a convolutional neural network (CNN). In this system, we first calculated the slope from the three-dimensional model obtained by the UAV, and segmented the UAV RGB photograph of the forest into several tree crown objects automatically using colour and three-dimensional information and the slope model, and lastly applied object-based CNN classification for each crown image. This system succeeded in classifying seven tree classes, including several tree species with more than 90% accuracy. The guided gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Guided Grad-CAM) showed that the CNN classified trees according to their shapes and leaf contrasts, which enhances the potential of the system for classifying individual trees with similar colours in a cost-effective manner—a useful feature for forest management.
