Interpretation of Spectral LiDAR Backscattering off the Florida Coast

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
A multispectral backscattering LiDAR (Light detection and range) system (hereafter Oculus) was integrated into a wave glider and used to estimate the scattering order (i.e., single vs multiple collisions) of LIDAR backscattering, the water inherent ...

The effect of serifs and stroke contrast on low vision reading

open access: yesActa Psychologica, 2023
Purpose: Patients with low vision are generally recommended to use the same fonts as individuals with normal vision. However, we are yet to fully understand whether stroke width and serifs (small ornamentations at stroke endings) can increase readability.
