Noncontact Palm Vein ROI Extraction Based on Improved Lightweight HRnet in Complex Backgrounds by Fen Dai, Ziyang Wang, Xiangqun Zou, Rongwen Zhang, Xiaoling Deng

“…A noncontact palm vein ROI extraction algorithm based on the improved HRnet for keypoints localization was proposed for dealing with hand gesture irregularities, translation, scaling, and rotation in complex backgrounds. To reduce the computation time and model size for ultimate deploying in low-cost embedded systems, this improved HRnet was designed to be lightweight by reconstructing the residual block structure and adopting depth-separable convolution, which greatly reduced the model size and improved the inference speed of network forward propagation. …”

Rice suitability mapping using the analytic hierarchy process approach in a river catchment by N. Robertson, B. Oinam

“…The study was carried-out in Imphal-Iril River catchment, Manipur, India.METHODS: The suitability analysis was carried-out based on soil, climate and topographic parameters as the input variable using integrated geographical information system and analytic hierarchy process, a multi criteria decision based approach. To compute criteria weight for various suitability classes, pairwise comparison matrix was applied using analytical hierarchy process and the resulting weights were used for assigning criteria ranking.FINDINGS: The study result indicates that the major section of high and moderate potential suitability zones of rice is concentrated in the flatter valley regions of the catchment.  …”
