On the compatibility of single‐scan terrestrial LiDAR with digital photogrammetry and field inventory metrics of vegetation structure in forest and agroforestry landscapes

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The single‐scan approach to terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and the self‐terrain‐normalized form of drone‐based digital aerial photogrammetry (DAP) offer practical options for rapid assessment of the vegetation structure in tropical landscapes.

Hyperspectral species maps and LiDAR‐based structured population models show future forest fire frequency may compromise forest resilience

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Monitoring forest recovery from disturbances at scale requires tracking tree dynamics, yet traditional ground‐based approaches are resource‐intensive. We present a pipeline to parameterize integral projection models (IPMs) using LiDAR data and hyperspectral‐based species maps to assess post‐fire recovery across large, forested areas at the Caribou ...

Big Bird: A global dataset of birds in drone imagery annotated to species level

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Drones are a valuable tool for surveying birds, but manually detecting and identifying birds in drone images is costly. We assembled a diverse dataset of 23 865 images of birds captured with 21 different drones across 11 countries. We labelled 4824 of these images, detailing the location, species, posture category, age category, and sex of 49 990 birds

Time‐series digital camera photos combined with machine learning algorithms can realize accurate observation of flowering phenology

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Intelligent approaches are required to extract valuable phenological information from time‐series digital camera photos. In this research, we employed YOLO‐based object detection and semantic segmentation models to identify flowers and flower pixels, acquire flower count and flower cover data, and extract phenophases such as first, peak, and end ...

Nonlinear analysis of flat post‐tensioned concrete slab–edge column connections

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents nonlinear finite element analyses to investigate the punching shear behavior of unbonded post‐tensioned concrete flat slabs at slab‐edge column connections. A parametric analysis was conducted to evaluate the influence of four critical parameters on the punching shear resistance: the distribution of prestressing tendons ...

Enhancing durability of steam‐cured precast concrete culverts using SCMs: A comparative study with delithiated beta spodumene

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Steam curing is commonly used to manufacture precast culverts to accelerate early strength development. This study investigates the effect of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on the permeability properties of steam‐cured precast concrete culverts.

Relative Habitat Suitability of the Gray Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) in the Central Great Plains 大平原中部灰狐 (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) 的生境相对适宜性

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Although once abundant across its range, gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) are purportedly declining. While range maps indicate that gray fox potentially occur throughout the central United States, contemporary distribution maps are needed. We developed a Habitat Suitability Model for six states, leveraging gray fox presence data in an ensemble ...

UBVH: Unified Bounding Volume and Scene Geometry Representation for Ray Tracing

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Bounding volume hierarchies (BVHs) are currently the most common data structure used to accelerate ray tracing. The existing BVH methods distinguish between the bounding volume representation associated with the interior BVH nodes and the scene geometry representation associated with leaf nodes.

FluidMap: Proportional and Spatially Consistent Layout Enrichments in Multidimensional Projections

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
FluidMap faithfully represents the frequency of an attribute and preserves spatial consistency. Current space‐filling methods over‐ or under‐represent attribute categories (i.e., all Voronoi‐based methods), sacrifice spatial consistency (i.e., Nmap) or both (i.e., Voronoi‐MWα).
