water erosion causes severe soil damage in northern forests of iran which is associated with different rut depths in skid trails. the aim of this study was to assess rutting and soil displacement on skid trails to mitigate water erosion. therefore the research was carried out in eight parcels of district no 3 of shafarood forest in the north of iran. in order to evaluate the amount of erosion i...

Soil Classification deals with the systematic categorization of soils based on distinguished characteristics as well as criteria. We developed Data Mining techniques like: GATree, Fuzzy Classification rules and Fuzzy C Means algorithm for classifying soil texture in agriculture soil data. In this paper, we give a comparative study of developed algorithms. The study is used to compare and analyz...

We present a novel multi-view, projective texture mapping technique. While previous multi-view texturing approaches lead to blurring and ghosting artefacts if 3D geometry and/or camera calibration are imprecise, we propose a texturing algorithm that warps (“floats”) projected textures during run-time to preserve crisp, detailed texture appearance. Our GPU implementation achieves interactive to ...

This paper presents an extension to a measurement system to capture bidirectional refEectance distribution function (BRDF) values and texture maps out of images. The extension will enable the measurement of reflection effects due to surface roughness and additionally extracts a map representing local surface displacements. Different lighting conditions where used to discriminate between surface...

The goal of accurately mapping soil variability preceded GPS-aided agriculture, and has been a challenging aspect of precision agriculture since its inception. Many studies have found the range of spatial dependence is shorter than the distances used in most grid sampling. Other studies have examined variability within government soil surveys and concluded that they have limited utility in many...

relationships between soil factors and vegetation types in playa of damghan was investigated. six vegetationtypes including artemisia.sieberi, arundo. sp, artemisia.sieberi-peganum.harmala, alhagi.cammelerom,artemisia.sieberi-petropyron.sp, tamarix.passerinoides-halocnemum strobilaceum. one bare land was recognized inthe study area and the research was conducted within mentioned types. canopy p...

The aim of this study was to derive land cover products with a 300-m pixelresolution of Envisat MERIS (Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) to quantify netprimary productivity (NPP) of conifer forests of Taurus Mountain range along the EasternMediterranean coast of Turkey. The Carnegie-Ames-Stanford approach (CASA) was usedto predict annual and monthly regional NPP as modified by temperature...

Large-scale simulation of the soil-derived dust emission in semi-arid regions needs to account for the in ̄uence of the soil moisture on the wind erosion threshold. Soil water retention consists of molecular adsorption on the soil grain surface and capillary forces between the grain. Interparticle capillary forces (characterized by the moisture tension) are the main factor responsible for the in...

soil moisture retention curve (smrc) is an important soil property which expresses reaction between matric potential and moisture of soil. direct measurement of soil matric potential and moisture is labour- and time-consuming. in order to prevail this problem, indirect methods are used for smrc prediction. pedotransfer functions (ptfs) are one of these indirect methods. this study was carried o...
