A Robust Visual Inertial Odometry SLAM Considering Robot Self Dynamics
ABSTRACT In this paper, to deal with the dynamic SLAM problem, we investigate feature tracking and IMU preintegration in visual‐inertial odometry (VIO) and design a robust SLAM framework that explicitly considers robot self‐dynamics. We propose a self‐dynamics and IMU‐aided feature tracker to predict initial optical flow and an iterative refinement ...

ABSTRACT A time domain pulse (TDP) based on the frequency domain reflectometry (FDR) method can be used to diagnose the insulation state of cable defects. However, because of the limitations of the FDR test instrument, the lack of a reflection coefficient spectrum (RCS) in the low‐frequency band (LFB) can result in low frequency oscillation in the time

The Consequences of Soil Organic Carbon for Crop Yield, Farm Productivity and Profit
ABSTRACT Crop choices affect soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, allowing farmers to manipulate the amount of carbon sequestered in the soil over time. This paper examines the private and public benefits of crop rotations that sequester additional carbon across the province of Saskatchewan, Canada using a novel field‐level dataset from the Saskatchewan ...

Corporate Tax System Complexity and Investment Sensitivity to Tax Policy Changes
ABSTRACT Effective policymakers must balance the demands of formulating a corporate tax system that raises revenue and spurs economic activity (e.g., investment) while promoting a “level playing field” across firms. Balancing these tradeoffs has likely caused tax systems to become more complex over time, increasing firms’ difficulty in understanding ...
