In this paper, we present SURE features – a novel combination of interest point detector and descriptor for 3D point clouds and depth images. We propose an entropy-based interest operator that selects distinctive points on surfaces. It measures the variation in surface orientation from surface normals in the local vicinity of a point. We complement our approach by the design of a view-pose-inva...

In this paper, we present an interest point detector and descriptor for 3D point clouds and depth images, coined SURE, and use it for recognizing semantically distinct places in indoor environments. We propose an interest operator that selects distinctive points on surfaces by measuring the variation in surface orientation based on surface normals in the local vicinity of a point. Furthermore, ...

A field experiment was designed to study the effects of nitrogen (N) source and urease inhibitor N-(nbutyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) or nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide (DCD) on nitrous oxide (N2O) emission and N use efficiency (NUE) in a sandy loam soil. Six treatments including no N fertilizer (control), N fertilizer urea alone (U), urea plus NBPT (NBPT), urea plus DCD (DCD), urea ...

Two sesame cultivars (Sesamum indicum L.) were evaluated using various 3 different sowing dates (20 th June, 10 th and 30 th July) and four nitrogen levels (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg N ha -1 ) at the New Developmental Farm of The University of Agriculture, Peshawar, Pakistan during summer 2012. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with split plot arrangement using f...

OBJECTIVE The study aimed to assess the N use efficiency (NUE) of pig slurry (in comparison with chemical fertilizer) for each regrowth yield and annual herbage production and their nutritive value. METHODS Consecutive field experiments were separately performed using a single application with a full dose of N (200 kg N/ha) in 2014 and by four split applications in 2015 in different sites. Th...

Nitrogen (N) is an essential and often limiting nutrient to plant growth. Maize grain yields are highly responsive to supplemental N, leading to annual application of an estimated 10 million metric tons of N fertilizer to the maize crop worldwide (FAO 2004). Nearly all cultivated maize in developed countries receives some form of N fertilizer and N use is increasing in developing countries, whe...

Abstract Over application of nitrogen (N) fertilizers to crops ultimately causes N pollution in the ecosphere. Studying response plant growth and uptake low-N stress may aid elucidating mechanism low tolerance plants developing crop cultivars with high use efficiency (NUE). In this study, a high-NUE mutant line A9-29 wild-type barley cultivar Hua30 were subjected hydroponic culture supply, dry ...

limited information is available on water and nitrogen (n) management of sugarcane (saccharum officinarum l.) in khuzestan, southwestern iran, where this crop is currently and extensively grown under heavy irrigation and n fertilization. therefore, a field experiment was conducted from september 2000 to march 2002 at the research department of karoon agro-industry in khuzestan to determine the ...

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) efficient use of nitrogen (NUE) determines its growth and yield. We assessed the interaction effect N fertilizer biochar different particle sizes rates on NUE, yield lettuce. A factorial design arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design with four replications was used to conduct a field experiment at FRNR farm, Kwame Nkrumah University Science Technology, Ghana. Th...

In wheat production, improving resource utilization and grain yield is the goal researcher have been pursuing. This study aimed to investigate if a regulated nitrogen (N) selenium (Se) fertilizer management could increase N use efficiency (NUE). reports effects of three application levels (N0: 0 kg ha−1, N1: 180 N2: 270 ha−1) combination Se (Se0: g Se1: 450 Se2: 900 on metabolism, NUE in 2020–2...
