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

Estimating red deer Cervus elaphus population density using drones in a steep and rugged terrain
Precise and accurate information about population density, crucial for wildlife management, is difficult to obtain for elusive species living in dense forests or steep and inaccessible terrain. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we developed a method for obtaining absolute population estimates of ungulates living in steep, rugged, and partly ...

CDFNet: Cross‐Modal Deep Fusion for Monocular 3D Semantic Scene Completion
ABSTRACT Semantic scene completion (SSC) aims to predict the semantic occupancy and geometry of 3D scenes. Recently, most studies focus on camera‐based approaches due to the rich visual cues of images and the cost‐effectiveness of cameras. However, these methods usually lack efficient fusion and fine‐grained processing of cross‐modal semantic ...

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 Power lines in synthetic‐aperture radar (SAR) images are reflected as point signatures, which fluctuate annually in both the azimuth and range directions. A novel framework is proposed in this paper to evaluate the four‐dimensional dynamic status of power line sag using those point signatures in time‐series SAR images.
