When performing structural inspection, the generation of three-dimensional (3D) point clouds is a common resource. Those are usually generated from photogrammetry or through laser scan techniques. However, a significant drawback for complete inspecti...

In this research, an efficient scheme to identify leaf types is proposed. In that scheme, the leaf boundary points are fitted in a continuous contour using Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBFNN) to calculate the centroid of the leaf shape. Aft...
