  • 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...

  • Dendrometry Field Manual

    Creator:
    Strimbu, Bogdan M.
    Abstract:
    As it was conceptualized, the manual is aligned with other field manual that are currently in use by different universities, such as Mississippi State University, Stephen F Austin, or University of British Columbia. The present manual is the first unified version of Louisiana Tech University of a Field Manual to...

  • Estimation of surface canopy water in Pacific Northwest forests by fusing radar, lidar, and climatic data

    Creator:
    Heffernan, Scott A.
    Abstract:
    Surface Canopy Water (SCW) is the intercepted rain water that resides within the tree canopy and plays a significant role in the hydrological cycle. Challenges arise in measuring SCW in remote areas using traditional ground based techniques. Remote sensing in the radio spectrum has the potential to overcome the challenges...

  • Estimation of Soil Particle Size Distribution using CT Scans

    Creator:
    Boath, Max E.
    Abstract:
    Remote sensing techniques have been applied extensively in geospatial investigations, but their use in measuring soil physical attributes has been far less explored. Soil particle size distributions (PSD) are indispensable in modeling pedological and hydrological processes as well as biodiversity. However, estimation of PSD via gravimetric measurement methods, the standard...

  • Photogrammetric point cloud trees

    Creator:
    Strimbu, Bogdan M. and Fang, Rong
    Abstract:
    The dataset contains three loblolly pines (Pinus taeda Lindl.) stems reconstructed with terrestrial photogrammetric techniques. The trees were growing in west-central Louisiana, Vernon parish. The reconstructed models reached over 50% of the relative height, the proportion of the stem, on which the majority of the merchantable volume is located. After...

  • Classification strategies for unbalanced binary maps : finding Ponderosa pine in the Willamette Valley

    Creator:
    Riddell, Audrey P.
    Abstract:
    Forest species classifications are becoming increasingly automated as advances are made in machine learning. The algorithms used to identify tree species range from simple decision trees to intricate neural networks, and often excel in accurately delineating tree species. However, complex algorithms can have high input costs, including the cost of...

  • Sensitivity of Forest Structure Estimation to UAS-Based Data Processing Algorithms

    Creator:
    Maturbongs, Bonifasius Y. L
    Abstract:
    Forests should be monitored and measured frequently to ensure its sustainability and continuity of carbon sequestration. However, conventional monitoring methods are costly and labor intensive. New technologies, such as unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) can be used as an alternative method to monitor and measure forests. The objective of this study...

  • Mechanical Design for Robot Locomotion

    Creator:
    Abate, Andrew M.
    Abstract:
    Robotic limbs have been shown to enable mobility in unstructured, real-world terrain; they allow robots to step around cluttered environments, scramble up hills, carry heavy loads, and even perform acrobatics. However, mechanical limbs cannot operate as a means for such dynamic locomotion if they are simply treated as general articulated...

  • Incremental cores of the National Forest Inventory from Romania

    Creator:
    Strimbu, Bogdan and Marin, Gheorghe
    Abstract:
    Dendrochronological data provides insight in the tree development, and used in conjunction with forest inventory, can supply inputs for growth and yield modeling. However, accurate and precise measurements of a large number of incremental cores require significant resources. One possible source of valuable tree ring data are national forest inventories...

  • Work Overloads Approximation on a Moving Assembly Line Workstation using Markov Chain

    Creator:
    Khandke, Shardul
    Abstract:
    Moving mixed-model assembly lines are used by many companies to assemble multiple model types of a particular product. A moving assembly line consists of a material movement system that moves jobs at a constant velocity across a series of workstations. The variation in the work content of jobs at workstations...
