A whole procedure of fully automatic 3D single tree modelling based on LIDAR point cloud is introduced in the paper. The evaluation of the procedure is then delivered by verifying the modelling results with field collecting data in sample plots. With the procedure, individual trees are extracted not only from the top canopy layer but also from the sub canopy layer, 3D shape of the extracted ind...

Abstract The objective of the study was to assess concordance and ranking ability a non-quantitative 33-item dietary screener developed diet young adults in Norway, ‘MyFoodMonth 1.1’, compared semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Data were collected cross-sectional survey evaluating diets students at University Agder, southern Norway. asked complete both an FFQ. collection carr...

Regeneration and forest durability guarantee is one of the most important aspects of forest sustainability and it should be placed in forest plans priority. To compare regeneration in the two grazed and non-grazed forest, Baghe-shady forest located in Khatam city (it has the preservative regions that they are 20 years old), Yazd province, Central of Iran was selected. For this purpose, 60 sampl...

Tomography is a classic inverse problem in which multiple density projections of an object are processed to infer some approximation of the original. We consider the highly sparse inverse problem of single angle projection, but seek to reduce the ambiguity through multiple time observations in a dynamic system of known or partially known dynamics. In this work we solve the planar problem by opt...

Concerns about the efficiency and the reliability of point sampling to estimate change in forest growth variables have been expressed ever since point sampling appeared in the literature more than 60 years ago. Change estimators for point samples based on point-to-tree distance in variable-radius plots were introduced about 30 years ago but are rarely implemented despite easy access to point-to...
