Leaf area index (LAI) is a key parameter of vegetation structure in the fields of agriculture,
forestry, and ecology. Optical indirect methods based on the Beer-Lambert law are widely …

Separating point clouds into ground and non-ground measurements is an essential step to
generate digital terrain models (DTMs) from airborne LiDAR (light detection and ranging) data…

Three-dimensional (3D) radiative transfer modeling of the transport and interaction of radiation
through earth surfaces is challenging due to the complexity of the landscapes as well as …

2D face analysis techniques, such as face landmarking, face recognition and face verification,
are reasonably dependent on illumination conditions which are usually uncontrolled and …

There has been little investigation for the automatic extraction of power lines from aerial

We present a new robotic foundation model, called ${\pi}_{0.7}$, that can enable strong out-of-the-box
performance in a wide range of scenarios. ${\pi}_{0.7}$ can follow diverse …

Tree stem detection is a key step toward retrieving detailed stem attributes from terrestrial
laser scanning (TLS) data. Various point-based methods have been proposed for the stem …

Earth-observing remote sensing data, including aerial photography and satellite imagery,
offer a snapshot of the world from which we can learn about the state of natural resources and …

The profound impact of light pollution on both natural and human systems is well-recognized.
Particularly, light pollution at the building scale is inextricably intertwined with human living …
