Quantifying the amount of crop residue left in the field after harvest is a key issue for sustainability. Conventional assessment approaches (e.g., line-transect) are labor intensive, time-consuming and costly. Many proximal remote sensing devices an...
One of the priorities in sustainable forest management is monitoring the health status of trees and stands. From the aspect of remote sensing (RS), the best way of doing this is by interpreting color infrared (CIR) aerial photographs; however, this r...
Historical geographic data play an important supporting role in the study of long-term geographic studies, such as climate change, urban expansion and land-use and land-cover change. These data vary in source, format and accuracy and are widely found...
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is a critical component of autonomous navigation, enabling mobile robots to construct maps while estimating their location. In this study, we compare the performance of SLAM Toolbox and Cartographer, two w...
Urban pluvial flooding poses increasing challenges due to climate change and rapid urbanization. The limited availability of information on subsurface drainage infrastructure and of validation data frequently constrain large-scale flood modelling. Th...
The somatic cell count (SCC) in raw milk is an important basis for determining whether a cow is suffering from mastitis. To address the problem of an uneven distribution of somatic cells due to cell-adherent sedimentation, among other reasons, during...
Artificial-intelligence-based methods are regularly used in the biomedical sciences, mainly in the field of diagnostic imaging. Recently, convolutional neural networks have been trained to score pleurisy and pneumonia in slaughtered pigs. The aim of...
One of the most important chemicals used in the production of polymer plastics and coatings is bisphenol A. However, despite the large number of studies on the toxicity and hormonal activity of BPA, there are still open questions and thus considerabl...
Background: Rhinoplasty is a leading cosmetic surgery, with the crooked nose being one of the most complex challenges due to its combination of functional and aesthetic issues. Involving multiple nasal components, a crooked nose remains difficult to...
Tomographic images generated by wave propagation are important in tree inspections and can be performed in an economically more accessible way using conventional equipment and postprocessed images, but improvements are necessary to increase image qua...
Wind turbines are the most frequently used objects of renewable energy today. However, issues that arise during their operation can greatly affect their effectiveness. Blade erosion, cracks, and other defects can slash turbine performance while also...
(1) Background: The growth and morphology of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) juveniles were observed under different light conditions due to overstory canopy openness. The aim was to investigate the photo-morphological responses of juveniles...
This paper presents an active wide-baseline triple-camera measurement system designed especially for 3D modeling in general outdoor environments, as well as a novel parallel surface refinement algorithm within the multi-view stereo (MVS) framework. F...
Terrestrial photographic imagery combined with structure-from-motion (SfM) provides a relatively easy-to-implement method for monitoring environmental systems, even in remote and rough terrain. However, the collection of in-situ positioning data and...
We propose a novel workflow to investigate the complex flow behaviors and remaining oil distribution related to the oil–gas–water three-phase system based on information from typical outcrops of fractured-vuggy reservoirs. A refined geolo...
Power transformers are fundamental components in electrical grids, requiring robust insulation to operate reliably under various abnormal conditions, including overvoltages caused by lightning or switching. As defined by existing standards, the Basic...
The Zaatari Camp in Jordan exemplifies how Syrian refugees transform a planned grid settlement into an organic urban environment through socio-spatial adaptation, reflecting their cultural identity and territorial practices. This study investigates t...
This paper introduces a hybrid two-stage registration framework for reconstructing three-dimensional (3D) kidney anatomy from macroscopic slices, using CT-derived models as the geometric reference standard. The approach addresses the data-scarcity an...
