A RAPID AND HIGH-PRECISION MOUNTAIN VERTEX EXTRACTION METHOD BASED ON HOTSPOT ANALYSIS CLUSTERING AND IMPROVED EIGHT-CONNECTED EXTRACTION ALGORITHMS FOR DIGITAL ELEVATION MODELS

Digital Elevation Model (DEM)-based mountain vertex extraction is one of the most useful DEM applications, providing important information to properly characterize topographic features.Current vertex-extraction techniques have considerable limitations, such as yielding low-accuracy results and generating false mountain vertices.To overcome these li

Increasing awareness of the global impact of systemic insecticides on ecosystems prompted us to examine the spatial and temporal contamination of avian and insect pollinators and their floral resources within blueberry growing seasons in the Fraser River valley in BC, Canada where a mixture of urban, suburban and agricultural areas exist.We measure

The strategic goal of the state policy of the Russian Federation concerning education is to ensure the quality of functioning of additional professional education (APE) as means of social development, and in this regard, the creation of a modern system of continuous education, i.e.the implementation of the concept of lifelong learning.The solution

In practical applications, the safe operation of large-diameter prestressed concrete cylinder pipes (PCCPs) depends on the loading performance under Bathmat internal water pressure.However, there is lack of damage tests for the full-scale large-diameter PCCPs due to economic cost and experimental difficulty.In this paper, a full-scale PCCP with dia

Carl Andre’s opposition between an activating art and a pacifying culture becomes the impetus for wider Wood + Bamboo Toys reflections on artistic autonomy and agency with special reference to how fine art is taught at college.I propose that artistic agency might better be accounted for and enacted by conceiving of it not as something set aga
