Accuracy assessment of LiDAR point cloud geo-referencing

Creator:: Williams, Keith E.
Abstract:: Three-dimensional laser scanning has revolutionized spatial data acquisition and can be completed from a variety of platforms including airborne (ALS), mobile (MLS), and static terrestrial (TLS) laser scanning. MLS is a rapidly evolving technology that provides increases in efficiency and safety over static TLS, while still providing similar levels of...

Environmental Impacts of Renewable Energy (solar and wind) on Water, Food and Energy Nexus

Creator:: Hassanpour Adeh, Elnaz
Abstract:: Rapid increasing of renewable energies and the knowledge about their environmental effects are very limited. As a result, the renewable energies (e.g. solar or wind energies) will play a vital role in the future because it is well accepted by environmental friendly industries. This dissertation presents the modeling, data analysis...

Modeling and optimization of radio frequency identification networks for inventory management

Creator:: Suriya, Atipong
Abstract:: Stock loss and out-of-stocks are outcomes of poorly designed inventory management systems and can lead to significant revenue losses. Inventory management systems (IMS) based on radio frequency identification (RFID) have the potential to minimize these losses if they are properly designed and deployed. However, the placement of RFID readers to...

Assessment of Airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) for use in common forest engineering geomatic applications

Creator:: Craven, Michael B.
Abstract:: Airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) has become a popular remote sensing technology to create digital terrain models and provide forest inventory information. However, little research has been done to investigate the accuracy of using airborne LiDAR to perform measurement tasks common to Forest Engineering. This thesis contains two manuscripts...

Landscape Inventory and Harvest Strategies for Individual Western Juniper in Eastern Oregon

Creator:: Schriver, Robert
Abstract:: Western juniper is a native species in eastern Oregon that became invasive during the last century since its range increased fivefold from 1936 to 1988. Western juniper’s ability to absorb rainfall and groundwater has deleterious effects on stream flow and sensitive sage grouse habitat in eastern Oregon. New methods of...

An application of regression tree methodology in freeway travel time estimation using speed as a proxy

Creator:: Wang, Lijuan
Abstract:: Accurate freeway travel time estimation is of increasing importance for the travelers’ information and route guidance system. A non-parametric statistical methodology known as regression trees is deployed in this research for dynamically and accurately estimating freeway travel times for the I5-I205 loop in the Portland Metro area of Oregon using...

Application of GNSS for Vertical Reference Determination

Creator:: Kim, Su-Kyung
Abstract:: Vertical datum is a reference system used for specifying the elevation of specific points on or near the Earth. Precise and accurate definition and realization of vertical references are, therefore, crucial to ensure consistency between height measurements. The vertical datums can be divided into two categories: 1) vertical geodetic datums...

Forest biomass estimation with hemispherical photography for multiple forest types and various atmospheric conditions

Creator:: Clark, Joshua Andrew
Abstract:: The importance of accurately identifying inventories of domestic energy, including forest biomass, has increasingly become a priority of the US government and its citizens as the cost of fossil fuels has risen. It is useful to identify which of these resources can be processed and transported at the lowest cost...

Optimizing the primary forest products supply chain : a multi-objective heuristic approach

Creator:: Hamann, Jeff D.
Abstract:: This thesis is a collection of four submitted manuscripts that present methods to assist forest ecosystem service managers wanting to develop operational sampling, monitoring, and production plans for a set of specific quantifiable ecosystem services, which are formulated as a series of general multi-objective optimization problems. The problems are solved...

Design and implementation of a heuristic-based decision support system for nurse scheduling

Creator:: Sitompul, Darwin
Abstract:: A decision support system (DSS) for nurse scheduling in hospitals is developed and implemented on microcomputer. The system includes algorithms and databases for developing weekly work and shift patterns and combining these into working schedules for nurses for a specified time horizon, and interface modules for the user to interact...
