Researchers have developed a new modular workflow for mapping hedges and linear woody features from Earth observation data, addressing the challenge of creating transferable and reusable mapping tools. The system uses a flexible interface to create a woody vegetation mask, followed by a deep neural network that distinguishes linear shapes. This approach was successfully applied to generate national-scale maps for Germany using a single trained model without retraining, demonstrating competitive results against existing methods. AI
