Hierarchical Optimization Segmentation and Parameter Extraction of Street Trees Based on Topology Checking and Boundary Analysis from LiDAR Point Clouds by Yuan Kou, Xianjun Gao, Yue Zhang, Tianqing Liu, Guanxing An, Fen Ye, Yongyu Tian, Yuhan Chen

“…Due to the interference from trees and other ground objects in street scenes caused by mobile laser scanning, there may be a small number of missing points in the roadside tree point cloud, which makes it familiar for under-segmentation and over-segmentation phenomena to occur in the roadside tree segmentation process. In addition, existing methods have difficulties in meeting measurement requirements for segmentation accuracy in the individual tree segmentation process. …”

Legal regulation of the circulation of pyrotechnic products in Ukraine and administrative responsibility for its violation by K. L. Buhaichuk

“…It is proved that due to insufficient legal regulation, as well as low legal training of employees of the National Police and judges of general courts, during 2019–2021 many individuals were brought to administrative responsibility under Article 195-6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Ukraine without proper legal grounds. In addition, it was found that the lack of proper legal regulation and regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine on the legal regime of household pyrotechnic articles leads to the fact that the judiciary closes cases of administrative offenses under Article 195-6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. …”
