Design of a Demodulation Algorithm for UWOC based on Improved Manchester Coding by ZHANG You, HU Fangren, ZHAO Xiaoyan, ZHOU Jun, WANG Qilong

“…【Objective】To meet the requirements of the engineering of high-speed Underwater Wireless Optical Communication (UWOC) technology, and to address the issue of high Bit Error Rate (BER) in underwater channels when using modulation methods such as On/Off Keying (OOK) that rely on threshold demodulation for high-speed communication, this paper conducts comparative simulation analysis of commonly used underwater optical communication modulation methods and proposes an improved modulation and demodulation algorithm that combines Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) with Manchester encoding and does not require threshold decision-making.…”

Python algorithm package for automated Estimation of major legume root traits using two dimensional images by Amit Ghimire, Yong Suk Chung, Sungmoon Jeong, Yoonha Kim

“…Abstract A simple Python algorithm was used to estimate the four major root traits: total root length (TRL), surface area (SA), average diameter (AD), and root volume (RV) of legumes (adzuki bean, mung bean, cowpea, and soybean) based on two-dimensional images. Four different thresholding methods; Otsu, Gaussian adaptive, mean adaptive and triangle threshold were used to know the effect of thresholding in root trait estimation and to optimize the accuracy of root trait estimation. …”
