Decision making on forest resources relies on the precise information that is collected using
inventory. There are many different kinds of forest inventory techniques that can be applied …

OBJECTIVE: To describe the challenges faced by families caring for children with autism
spectrum disorder (ASD) in Brazil and the coping strategies employed. SOURCES …

This paper presents a new method for the automatic modeling of architecture. Building
designs are derived using split grammars, a new type of parametric set grammar based on …

The last half century has seen the development of many biological or physical t-ories that
have explicitly or implicitly involved medial descriptions of objects and other spatial entities …

Automation and robotics have been widely applied in many agricultural operations;
however, the production operations of apple trees are usually performed manually. Pruning …

Trees, bushes, and other plants are ubiquitous in urban environments, and realistic models
of trees can add a great deal of realism to a digital urban scene. There has been much …

Robust, scalable simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms support the
successful deployment of robots in real‐world applications. In many cases these platforms …

In this paper, we propose a semi-automatic technique for modeling plants directly from
images. Our image-based approach has the distinct advantage that the resulting model …

We present a semi-automatic and efficient method for producing full polygonal models of
range scanned trees, which are initially represented as sparse point clouds. First, a skeleton …

Laser scanning is an effective tool for acquiring geometric attributes of trees and vegetation,
which lays a solid foundation for 3-dimensional tree modelling. Existing studies on tree …
