• Extracting pure kiwifruit canopy information improves SMC estimation effectively.
• The optimal band combination algorithm efficiently screens band and FVC variables.
• The ensemble learning model for estimating SMC at different root-...

Accurate and real-time monitoring of soil moisture content (SMC) is of utmost importance for effective field irrigation and maximizing crop water productivity. However, a comprehensive investigation into the inversion study for determining ...

• Hyperspectral data from a spectrometer was used for trait estimations in alfalfa.
• LASSO, Elastic net and PLS models were employed to train and validate the dataset.
• Different wavebands were selected as a function of the parameter ...

Alfalfa is a forage of vast importance around the world. In the past, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technique have been explored in the lab to determine quality traits such as fibre content in dried and ground material. During the last decade,...

• Models were trained to use Sentinel-2 multispectral data to predict pasture nutrient concentration.
• Sentinel-2 had comparable prediction accuracy to a proximal hyperspectral sensor.
• Sensitive spectral regions varied between the ...

Using remote sensing to estimate the nutritive characteristics of pasture in livestock systems is a rapidly developing area that has the potential to improve pasture management and utilisation and in turn improve livestock productivity. The ...

• RGB-based data facilitate biomass LAI and grain yield prediction in chickpea.
• Data fusion improves the prediction accuracy and robustness.
• The SVM model adequately handled non-linear biomass and LAI data sets.
• UAS with RGB ...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a key legume crop grown in many semi-arid areas. Traditionally, chickpea is a rainfed spring crop, but in certain countries it has become an irrigated crop. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the ...

We contribute to an improved understanding of how physical multisensory data representations are experienced and how specific modalities affect the user experience (UX). We investigate how people make sense of Birdbox, a crossmodal data representation ...

In this paper we present the findings of a case-study on IT system security in the area of EU internal security and justice. We have analyzed the implementation of information security for the EU information systems EURODAC, SIS II and VIS in case ...

Since much knowledge is tacit, eliciting knowledge is a common bottleneck during the development of knowledge-based systems. Visual interactive simulation (VIS) has been proposed as a means for eliciting experts' decision-making by getting them to ...

This paper addresses the problem of synthesizing an artificial visual light (VIS) facial image from near-infrared (NIR) input. After extensively assessing photic characteristics of tissues at human skin surface, we propose a framework for this task. ...

Formal verification plays an important role in demonstrating the quality of safety-critical systems such as nuclear power plants. We have used the VIS verification system to determine behavioral equivalence between two successive revisions in developing ...

Field-derived hyperspectral reflectance of soil and wheat were collected during a wheat-growing season (February, March and April) using a portable spectrophotometer in an experimental field receiving conventional and conservation agricultural ...

This paper proposes a joint source-channel coding scheme based on integer wavelet high frequency zerotree, which can produce embedded progressive code stream with low bit-rate. In this scheme, by scanning the source with a set of pre-set thresholds, ...

Many microprocessor instruction sets include instructions for accelerating multimedia applications such as DVD playback, speech recognition, and 3D graphics. Despite general agreement on the need to support this emerging workload, there are considerable ...

UltraSPARC-I is a general-purpose processor implementing the SPARC V9 64-bit RISC architecture. In addition to supporting this Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), UltraSPARC-I includes over 30 new multimedia instructions (VIS - Visual Instruction Set) ...
