Abstract The mapping of a survey variable throughout continuum or for finite populations units is usually performed from model-dependent perspective. Nevertheless, when sample locations/units selected by probabilistic sampling scheme, the complex task modelling can be avoided using inverse distance weighting interpolator and deriving properties maps in design-based Conditions ensuring consisten...

Synthetic design storms are often used to plan new drainage systems or assess flood impacts on infrastructure. To simulate extreme rainfall events under climate change, can be modified match a different return frequency of as well temporal distribution intensities. However, the same magnitude change intensities is applied in space. Several hydrological applications limited by this. Climate urba...

This work aims to estimate 6Dof (6D) object pose in background clutter. Considering the strong occlusion and noise, we propose utilize spatial structure for better tackling this challenging task. Observing that 3D mesh can be naturally abstracted by a graph, build graph using points as vertices connections edges. We construct corresponding mapping from 2D image features filling fusion of featur...

This paper maps out contemporary discourses of Chinese diplomacy that have proliferated under the aegis ‘major country with characteristics’. We examine how these narratives are underpinned by webs relationality see China promoting equal and win–win partnerships other state actors, yet also defined hierarchical premises for such diplomatic engagements. These relational contradictions most clear...
