Radar remote sensing offers great potential for resource management in tropical regions. This paper outlines a processing methodology for AirSAR data for land cover classification using standard image processing software. The side looking nature of the instrument introduces significant variation in incidence angle from an airborne platform. The changes introduced by variation in incidence angle...

Current linear aeroelastic analysis approaches are not suited for capturing the emerging concerns in bridge aerodynamics introduced by aerodynamic nonlinearities and turbulence effects. These issues may become critical for bridges with increasing spans and/or with aerodynamic characteristics sensitive to the effective angle of incidence. This paper presents a nonlinear aerodynamic force model a...

Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology can be a valuable tool for describing and quantifying vegetation structure. However, because of their size, extraction of leaf geometries remains complicated. In this study, the intensity data produced by the Terrestrial Laser System (TLS) FARO LS880 is corrected for the distance effect and its relationship with the angle of incidence between the l...
