State‐of‐the‐art Report in Sketch Processing
Abstract Sketches are a powerful and natural form of communication and are used in numerous systems for modelling, animation, shape retrieval, and editing. Despite their popularity, rough sketches — whether raster or vector, 2D or 3D — are often too complex and imprecise to be used directly and thus need special processing.

Terrain descriptors for landscape synthesis, analysis and simulation
Abstract Synthetic landscape generation is an active research area within Computer Graphics. Algorithms for terrain synthesis and ecosystem simulations often rely on simple descriptors such as slope, light accessibility, and drainage area. Typically, the results are assessed from a perceptual standpoint, focusing primarily on visual plausibility. Other

Survey on Modeling of Human‐made Articulated Objects
Abstract 3D modeling of articulated objects is a research problem within computer vision, graphics, and robotics. Its objective is to understand the shape and motion of the articulated components, represent the geometry and mobility of object parts, and create realistic models that reflect articulated objects in the real world.

Fast HARDI Uncertainty Quantification and Visualization with Spherical Sampling
Abstract In this paper, we study uncertainty quantification and visualization of orientation distribution functions (ODF), which corresponds to the diffusion profile of high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) data. The shape inclusion probability (SIP) function is the state‐of‐the‐art method for capturing the uncertainty of ODF ensembles. The

Abstract As nations seek to expand protected area (PA) networks to cover 30% of land and seas by 2030 (30×30), there is an urgent need for systematic conservation planning and spatial prioritization that considers the broad range of ecological and socioeconomic factors influencing the persistence of biodiversity.

Assessing conservation priorities for seahorses in Brazil reveals gaps in current protected areas
Abstract Seahorses are rare and threatened marine species facing increasing risks from habitat degradation and overexploitation. Understanding their distribution is critical for effective conservation planning, yet comprehensive studies are limited, including in Brazil. This study aimed to conduct a gap analysis and identify priority areas for seahorse

Marine Bird Bycatch in Alaska Salmon Gillnet Fisheries
ABSTRACT Incidental catch in gillnet fisheries has a substantial conservation impact on marine diving birds. We synthesized available marine bird bycatch data from Alaska salmon gillnet fisheries to estimate standardized bycatch rates, model factors influencing bycatch rates, and estimate total bycatch.
