The Zagros forests (west of Iran) have been highly exploited in recent decades by human impacts. Easy access, abundance and variety of valuable forest yields have led to population growth density, creation of new residential areas and deforestation activities. In order to determinate the distribution and rate of deforestation from 1995 to 2006 by using the satellite imagery (IRS-1C and  LANDSAT...

without doubt is one important aspects of sustainable forest management the continuing forest regeneration. identify and determine is effective dispersal and distribution pattern of regeneration patches in various types of forest and its evolution, in maintaining biodiversity in natural ecosystems. purpose was chosen of gorazbon district kheyrod forest for study, all patches regeneration were l...

Design of multi station sensor configurations implies the optimal planning of camera positions in order to obtain high accurate measurements. In this way visual measurements can be achieved by the well known triangulation process. However, multiple constraints and design considerations must be taken into account by the designer in order to overcome the complexity of the problem. Automation of t...

were first applied to terrestrial concerns throughout the 1970s Abstract (Link and Collins, 1981; Hoge et al., 1983; Krabill et al., 1984). A simple, lightweight, inexpensive, portable airborne laser Over the past 30 years, the technology hasmoved from research profiling system has been assembled from off-the-shelf, comto commercial applications (Baltsavias, 1999). Applications mercially availa...

The aim of this research was to measure the relative efficiency of forest management plans in north of Iran. In order to fulfill the research, data of 12 forest management plans were collected from the financial balance sheets of Shafaroud Forest Company during a ten years period. First of all, basic Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models (BCC and CCR) were used to determine the efficiency. The...

The massive biomass of Eastern Georges Bank haddock ( Melanogrammus aeglefinus ) is difficult to harvest without capturing less robust, but still valuable groundfish stocks like Atlantic cod Gadus morhua and some flatfish species. Specialized trawls that raise the mouth nets off-bottom have reduced bycatch very poor status prioritizes even greater reduction prevent exceeding regulatory fishing ...

We describe a method for human parsing that is straightforward and competes with state-of-the-art performance on standard datasets. Unlike the state-of-the-art, our method does not search for individual body parts or poselets. Instead, a regression forest is used to predict a body configuration in body-space. The output of this regression forest is then combined in a novel way. Instead of avera...
