Extracting range data through active optical triangulation requires robust stripe edge detection w. r. t. the emitted pattern. On the other hand, due to ambiguous subpattern in the projection caused by the limitations of the windowed uniqueness property, corresponding a pattern consisting of multiple stripes, in attempts to reduce the number of input images, often leads to mislabeling. Moreover...

Direct solar irradiance may cause thermal discomfort, even in winter when the ambient temperature is low and especially for high-altitude locations with a high intensity of solar radiation. Thus winter solar shading might be required and, if used, must achieve a balance between the prevention of the transmittance of solar irradiance, the utilization of passive solar heat and the supply of adequ...

introduction lentil (lens culinaris medic) is a member of the leguminosae (fabaceae) family and an important pulse crop grown in iran. growth of lentil plant is highly sensitive to environmental conditions, especially solar radiation, high temperature and water availability. one of the important reasons for unstable lentil yield is the indeterminate growth habit of lentil plants. extensive vege...

Aim: The aim of the research is to obtain numerical data by examining types adaptation, adaptation components, and pattern knowledge based on widely known building examples worldwide that have been frequently studied in literature relation buildings designed with adaptive envelopes. Through obtained data, analyze which parameters are preferred more while designing an module. Method: Adaptation ...

The present work aimed to evaluate the osmotic conditioning and shading on the germination and on the initial growth of aroeira seedlings. The seeds were pre-imbibed in solutions with different concentrations of PEG (polyethylene glycol) and KNO3 and incubated at 10°C and 20°C temperatures, during 0 (control), 12 and 24 hours. After these periods, the seeds were dried until they reached the ini...

Tradescantia fluminensis, commonly referred to as ‘tradescantia’, is an invasive weed of canopydepleted forest remnants. Previous research suggests that a reduction of tradescantia biomass to ~80 gm-2 (~40% cover) is compatible with native forest regeneration. I assessed herbicide application, hand weeding and artificial shading as methods for the control of tradescantia in two lowland podocarp...

We present a model based approach to the integration of multiple cues for tracking high degree of freedom articulated motions. We then apply it to the problem of hand tracking using a single camera sequence. Hand tracking is particularly challenging because of occlusions, shading variations, and the high dimensionality of the motion. The novelty of our approach is in the combination of multiple...
