Investigating boreal forest successional stages in Alaska and Northwest Canada using UAV‐LiDAR and RGB and a community detection network

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study develops a novel application of UAV‐LiDAR and Red Green Blue (RGB) data and network analysis to enhance our understanding of boreal forest succession. The results indicate that tree height and spectral variables are the most influential predictors of plant functional type in random forest algorithms, and high overall accuracies were attained.

Research on a Drone‐Based Vacant Parking Detection System

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.
It can be difficult to know which spaces are available in parking lots and bicycle parking areas, so knowing the availability status is necessary for efficient parking. Therefore, in this study, we developed the drone that can display the availability status. Availability is determined by whether it can read a QR code attached to the ground. To conduct

Quantifying microhabitat selection of snowshoe hares using forest metrics from UAS‐based LiDAR

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Identifying the spatial and temporal scale at which animals select resources is critical for predicting how populations respond to changes in the environment. The spatial distribution of fine‐scale resources (e.g. patches of dense vegetation) are often linked with critical life‐history requirements such as denning and feeding sites.

Dynamic Neural‐Model‐Based Predictive Control for Autonomous Wheel‐Legged Robot System

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mobile wheel‐legged robots exhibiting mobility, stability and reliability have garnered heightened research attention in demanding real‐world scenarios, especially in material transport, emergency response and space exploration. The kinematics model merely delineates the geometric relationship of the controlled objective, disregarding force ...

UNO: Unified Self‐Supervised Monocular Odometry for Platform‐Agnostic Deployment

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This work presents UNO, a unified monocular visual odometry framework that enables robust and adaptable pose estimation across diverse environments, platforms and motion patterns. Unlike traditional methods that rely on deployment‐specific tuning or predefined motion priors, our approach generalises effectively across a wide range of real ...

Palaeolandscape reconstruction of a shallow coastal embayment in Kattegat, Denmark—influence of sea‐level changes during the latest Pleistocene and Holocene

Boreas, EarlyView.
We analyse the geological processes of a coastal embayment in the Kattegat. Using high‐resolution seismic data and sediment cores, we describe a geological evolution from glacial to shallow marine stages with a variety of preserved facies from different depositional settings, including glacio‐lacustrine, telmatic, limnic and coastal environments.

NePO: Neural Point Octrees for Large‐Scale Novel View Synthesis

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We introduce Neural Point Octrees (NePOs), a scalable radiance field representation that organises point clouds hierarchically for efficient optimisation and rendering of large scale scenes. NePOs enable level of detail selection, joint refinement of appearance and camera poses, and real‐time rendering of hundreds of millions of points.

Technologies for equine welfare and performance monitoring under field conditions – Where do we stand?

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The need for comprehensive equine welfare assessments has become particularly evident amid ongoing debates about the social licence to operate in equestrian sports. During exercise, multiple physiological systems, principally the cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, thermoregulatory, endocrine, and locomotory systems, undergo complex ...

Reliability, agreement and variability of a markerless computer vision algorithm for equine gait analysis under field conditions

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Computer vision‐based algorithms offer accessible alternatives for equine gait analysis but require thorough assessment under diverse conditions. Objectives To evaluate a proprietary vision‐based algorithm's reliability in measuring vertical displacement signals (VDS) at the eye, withers and croup, alongside groundline estimation ...

Quantitative assessment of gait alterations and variability in sulky‐driven Standardbred trotters after a standardised exercise test

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Assessment of equine metabolic and locomotory responses to quantified levels of physical exercise is needed to support the creation of tailored protocols for optimal training adaptation. The locomotory response to exercise in horses is not fully understood.
