Estimating home-range size: when to include a third dimension?
Most studies dealing with home ranges consider the study areas as if they were totally flat, working only in two dimensions, when in reality they are irregular surfaces displayed in three dimensions. By disregarding the third dimension (i.e., topography), the size of home ranges underestimates the surface actually occupied by the animal, potentially leading to misinterpretations of the animals'...
متن کاملA Geographic Information System Method for Estimating Home Range Size
\Ve developed a new technique to quantify home ranges by using coordinate-based data that were collected at srnall time intenals and entered into a Geographic Information System (GIS). We used this technique (digitized polygons [DP]) and 4 other established methods to estimate home range sizes of groups of black howler monkeys (Alorrana pigra). \Ve calculated the size of the area used by the st...
متن کاملA Third Dimension to Rough Sets
Rough-sets relative reducts allow one to reduce the number of attributes in a supervised clas-siication problem without sacriicing the consistency of the decision table. In many problems, the cardinality of the relative reducts is large, making the decision table unmanageably big. We propose reducing the size of reducts, and hence the decision table, by increasing the number of label values (va...
متن کاملEstimating fractal dimension from range images of natural terrain
We investigate two published approaches to the problem of estimating fractal dimension: the box-counting approach, and the fractal Brownian function approach. In experiments with synthetic images, we find the fractal Brownian function methods proposed by Pentland and Yokoya to be superior to the box-counting approaches described by Voss, because the former do not require data sampled at equal i...
متن کاملCSCW—Towards a Third Dimension
In business and education there is a growing occurrence of virtual teams, which interact mainly via computers. We analyze the levels of interaction and the channels through which communication is conducted, and the problems which are caused by the lack of the representation of a social dimension. As a first step towards a solution of these problems, we present an application which represents so...
