Compatible Taper and Volume Systems Based on Volume Ratio Models for Four Pine Species in Oaxaca Mexico

Parsimonious and Completely Compatible Taper, Total, and Merchantable Volume Models

A parsimonious and compatible system of taper, total, and merchantable volume equations sharing a common vector of three parameter estimates was derived from Clark and Saucier’s (1990) volume ratio model. Clark and Saucier’s model expresses volume inside bark as a function of outside bark diameter and is itself not compatible with the derived taper equation. To ensure compatibility, models were...

Tree Volume and Upper-stem Diameter Predictions for Planted Loblolly and Slash Pine Based on a Compatible Volume-Taper System with Segmented-stem Form Factors

Development of a Compatible Taper Function and Stand-Level Merchantable Volume Model for Chinese Fir Plantations

Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata [Lamb.] Hook) is one of the most important plantation tree species in China with good timber quality and fast growth. It covers an area of 8.54 million hectare, which corresponds to 21% of the total plantation area and 32% of total plantation volume in China. With the increasing market demand, an accurate estimation and prediction of merchantable volume at t...

Network Traffic Anomaly Detection based on Ratio and Volume Analysis

Recent attack targets on a public network as well as an enterprise/edge network or system because the damage of the public network-attack is far stronger than an enterprise network or systems-attack and the speed of its propagation is far faster. Theses attacks typically cause not only traffic congestion but also network failure exhausting network bandwidth, router processing capacity using the...

Correlation ratio based volume image registration on GPUs

Volume image registration remains one of the best candidates for Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) acceleration because of its enormous computation time and plentiful data-level parallelism. However, an efficient GPU implementation for image registration is still challenging due to the heavy utilization of expensive atomic operations for similarity calculations. In this paper, we first propose fiv...
