We introduce shape cropping as the segmentation of a bounding geometry of an object as observed by sensors with different modalities. Segmenting a bounding volume is a preliminary step in many multi-view vision applications that consider or require the recovery of 3D information, in particular in multi-camera environments. Recent vision systems used to acquire such information often combine sen...

The composition of a photograph plays a vital role in determining its aesthetic quality. Cropping is a relatively simple way to improve a photograph’s composition. In contrast to this simple task, however, the underlying theory of visual aesthetics are complex and fuzzy. What determines humans to prefer one special composition over another is still an open question in psychology, but

Interspecific competition between species influences their individual growth and performance. Neighborhood effects become especially important in intercropping systems, and modeling approaches could be a useful tool to simulate plant growth under different environmental conditions to help identify appropriate combinations of different crops while managing competition. This study gives an overvi...

Global climate change and anthropological activities have led to a decline in insect pollinators worldwide. Agricultural globalisation intensification also removed crops from their natural pollinators, sparked research identify alternate artificial technologies. In certain countries such as Australia the importation of commercial is prohibited, necessitating manual labour stimulate floral polli...

We investigate how the receipt and amount of domestic or international transfers influences household decisions regarding farm investment selection capital labour-intensive crops. argue that, even though recipient households may use additional income to increase agricultural investment, can fall in short run if labour constraints arising from migrant member's absence are binding accumulation is...

Mapping crop patterns with remote sensing data is of great importance for agricultural production, food security and agricultural sustainability. In this paper, a hierarchical clustering method was proposed to map cropping frequency from time-series Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Enhanced Vegetation Indices (EVI) data and the spatial and temporal patterns of cropping freq...
