A Multi-Year Study on Rice Morphological Parameter Estimation with X-Band Polsar Data

A Multi-Year Study on Rice MorphologicalParameter Estimation with X-Band Polsar Data

Rice fields have been monitored with spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems for decades. SAR is an essential source of data and allows for the estimation of plant properties such as canopy height, leaf area index, phenological phase, and yield. However, the information on detailed plant morphology in meter-scale resolution is necessary for the development of better management practic...

a study on insurer solvency by panel data model: the case of iranian insurance market

the aim of this thesis is an approach for assessing insurer’s solvency for iranian insurance companies. we use of economic data with both time series and cross-sectional variation, thus by using the panel data model will survey the insurer solvency.

Estimation of rice growth parameters by X-band radar backscattering data

Microwave remote sensing has great potential, especially in monsoon Asia, since optical observations are often hampered by cloudy conditions. The radar backscattering characteristics of rice crop were investigated with a ground-based automatic scatterometer system. The system was installed inside a shelter in an experimental paddy field at the National Institute of Agricultural Science and Tech...

Multi-target Data Association by Tracklets with Unsupervised Parameter Estimation

We consider multi-target tracking via probabilistic data association among tracklets (trajectory fragments), a mid-level representation that provides good spatio-temporal context for efficient tracking. Model parameter estimation and the search for the best association among tracklets are unified naturally within a Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling procedure. The proposed approach is able to in...
