Surface morphology segmentation and evaluation of diamond lapping pad based on improved Mask R-CNN by Wenlong SUO, Yanfen LIN, Congfu FANG

“…This is due to the complex background of the lapping pad's surface images and unclear contrast between abrasive particles, pores, and binders, which can cause some missed or false detections when using this method. For successfully identified diamond abrasive grain and pore targets, the segmentation area accuracies are 89.9% and 95.3%, respectively, indicating small differences between segmented abrasive areas and actual areas, with a high degree of agreement, and good classification and segmentation performance by the model. …”

Terrain and individual tree vertical structure-based approach for point clouds co-registration by UAV and Backpack LiDAR by Tingwei Zhang, Xin Shen, Lin Cao

“…Tree-level structural parameters estimation plays a key role in the researches and practice in sustainable forest management, carbon storage estimation, as well as ecological function evaluation. However, single Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) platform exhibits limitations when acquiring complete (i.e., including over-story and under-story) point cloud data for forest stands, e.g., UAV LiDAR systems tend to overlook details of the tree trunk or the lower ground, while Backpack LiDAR systems struggle to capture the treetop, etc. …”

Comprehensive evaluation of the response relationship between meteorological drought and hydrological drought in the Yalong River Basin, China by Yunliang Wen, Ling Kang, Liwei Zhou, Wufeng Liao, Xuye Guo

“…The results showed that: (1) The smaller the scale of SPEI and SRI, the more sensitive the identification of drought and the faster the detection of drought trend changes. (2) Combined with small-scale drought index analyses, the trend and severity of meteorological and hydrological droughts propagating from the upper and middle reaches to the lower reaches is increasing from year to year. (3) The Gumbel-Hougaard Copula function reveals the relationship between meteorological and hydrological drought, with the longest joint return period of 13–15 months. (4) In cloud model risk evaluation, the degree, uncertainty and stochasticity of drought risk in the basin are increasing, and the risk degree of interannual meteorological and seasonal hydrological droughts in the basin was high. …”
