Automated Methods of Tree Boundary Extraction and Foliage Transparency Estimation from Digital Imagery
Foliage transparency in trees is an important indicator for forest health assessment. This paper helps advance transparency measurement research by presenting methods of automatic tree boundary extraction and foliage transparency estimation from digital images taken from the ground of open grown trees. Extraction of proper boundaries of tree crowns is the initial step in the determination of cr...
متن کاملEstimation of Fibre Orientation from Digital Images
In this paper, estimation of fibre orientation is studied for fibre systems observable as a blurred greyscale image. The estimation method is based on scaled variograms observed along a set of sampling lines in different directions. The parameters of the orientation distribution are obtained numerically. Simulated data are used to study the statistical properties of the method.
متن کاملAutomated extraction of chemical structure information from digital raster images
BACKGROUND To search for chemical structures in research articles, diagrams or text representing molecules need to be translated to a standard chemical file format compatible with cheminformatic search engines. Nevertheless, chemical information contained in research articles is often referenced as analog diagrams of chemical structures embedded in digital raster images. To automate analog-to-d...
متن کاملMultiresolution foliage for forest rendering
Plants are important objects in virtual environments. High complexity of shape structure is found in plant communities. Level of detail (LOD) of plant geometric models becomes important for interactive forest rendering. We emphasize three major problems in current research: the time consumption in LOD model construction and extraction, the balance between visual effect and data compression, and...
متن کاملVolume Estimation of Fruit from Digital Profile Images
This dissertation investigates the feasibility of using the same digital profile images of fruit that are used in commercial packing houses for colour sorting and blemish detection purposes to estimate the volumes of the corresponding individual pieces of fruit. Data sets of actual fruit volumes and digital images of the fruit that simulate both single and multiple camera set-ups are obtained. ...
