Wireless Signal Propagation Prediction Based on Computer Vision Sensing Technology for Forestry Security Monitoring.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In this paper, Computer Vision (CV) sensing technology based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is introduced to process topographic maps for predicting wireless signal propagation models, which are applied in the field of forestry security monito...

Development and validation of smartwatch-based activity recognition models for rigging crew workers on cable logging operations.

PloS one
Analysis of high-resolution inertial sensor and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data collected by mobile and wearable devices is a relatively new methodology in forestry and safety research that provides opportunities for modeling work acti...

Characterizing soundscapes across diverse ecosystems using a universal acoustic feature set.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Natural habitats are being impacted by human pressures at an alarming rate. Monitoring these ecosystem-level changes often requires labor-intensive surveys that are unable to detect rapid or unanticipated environmental changes. Here we have developed...

An Amazon stingless bee foraging activity predicted using recurrent artificial neural networks and attribute selection.

Scientific reports
Bees play a key role in pollination of crops and in diverse ecosystems. There have been multiple reports in recent years illustrating bee population declines worldwide. The search for more accurate forecast models can aid both in the understanding of...

Deep Learning for Plant Identification in Natural Environment.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Plant image identification has become an interdisciplinary focus in both botanical taxonomy and computer vision. The first plant image dataset collected by mobile phone in natural scene is presented, which contains 10,000 images of 100 ornamental pla...

Fuzzy logic applied to prospecting for areas for installation of wood panel industries.

Journal of environmental management
Prospecting for suitable areas for forestry operations, where the objective is a reduction in production and transportation costs, as well as the maximization of profits and available resources, constitutes an optimization problem. However, fuzzy log...

Afforestation Surpasses Abandonment in the Recovery of Post-Agricultural Soil Organic Carbon in China as Estimated by Machine Learning Models.

Global change biology
The surface soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics typically follow a trend of initial loss followed by subsequent accumulation after cropland abandonment. However, the timing of SOC stock increase (referred to as the threshold in this study) remains ins...

Predictive analysis across spatial scales links zoonotic malaria to deforestation.

Proceedings. Biological sciences
The complex transmission ecologies of vector-borne and zoonotic diseases pose challenges to their control, especially in changing landscapes. Human incidence of zoonotic malaria ( Plasmodium knowlesi) is associated with deforestation although mechani...
